10339719_10204384247990246_5152872294502304076_n19. Where I Stand —Virginia Beach!

10394583_10204374469985802_7542498560553222861_n21. 20 (20/20, eyeglasses)—I haven’t been using the prompts every day, because if something strikes my fancy, I shoot that. Today I actually looked at the email with the prompt (eyeglasses) and I thought of this. The New Testament belonged to my husbands dad, and the eyeglasses to his great grandmother, if I recall correctly. My mother-in-law gave these to me a few years ago.

These last two photos don’t fit any new prompts, but could be doubles for Make Believe and Beauty–

10388413_10204391217564481_904664300_n Waldo was a little upset that he didn’t get to go see Rubber Duck at the museum yesterday, so I let him take a ride on the much smaller replica we bought as a souvenir.

10358108_10204302273420933_2134705634_n11. Motherly Love ‘Nuff said. Love my Thuglee.
10344935_10204316039445075_174045326_n12. Check Up—A screenshot, not a ‘photo’ but need I say more? SUMMER is here.
10331758_10204324575778478_1574887677_n13. Activity—That little rose bush twig that I threaten to yank every year because it hasn’t thrived and is totally in the way always redeems itself with roses that remind me of Daddy Gus’s garden. (HIS red roses were rambling and prolific  and nothing like this sad twig.)
10356594_10204343386808742_1427419482_n (1)14. Health… Tell me you didn’t just close your eyes and sniff deeply? Be honest. That is two senses that are working well, sight and smell!
10356616_10204310985558731_138393321_n15. Relaxing.  Because Batman.
10346781_10204302823114675_629768280_n16. Self Discipline –Things you can’t believe you are saying UNTIL you are dealing with a toddler …”Don’t bite the cats tail again.” (Thankfully it wasn’t OUR cat who scratched her neck!) and if you ask where she got the scratch she says, in a very matter of fact tone, “I bit Bert’s tail.”  I recall reading once that 90% of disciplining toddlers is not laughing.
10364532_10204332556257985_345801874_n17. Growth This azalea must have heard about my plans to yank it a few years ago, because it had sat, basically stunted, giving a half-hearted attempt at flowering and no effort put into filling the space I had for it. But as I am slow to act upon these decisions (read—lazy) it stayed put. Two years ago, it bloomed. In AUGUST. And since then it has become a thing of beauty, rambling, wild, with very large flowers that bloom three weeks later than other azaleas.

Thank goodness for inexpensive clear painters tarps!  —I have moved the top ten selling and talked about photos at this weekends festival to the front of this gallery called Winners! For the second year running, the number one draw at the table was “The Boat Graveyard.” It is like a man magnet. They walk by and CAN’T resist looking!
