Photo A Day July 7--Garden

Since my "garden" is pretty much overgrown and/or just dead, it was a challenge finding something to take a picture of out there.

In hoping to remediate t he dryness and desiccation, I turned on the sprinkler--and voila, my photo!

Photo A Day, July 6--Chairs

I keep the "extra" chairs lined up next to the wall in the dining room, since the table currently only has one leaf in it. All the chairs are different from each other; the ladderback chair was refinished by Bob, ages ago. It originally had a black Spanish oak finish, to match our wrought iron-based table. The set was bought in 1968, just in time for Thanksgiving!

On the floor... Photo a Day July 5

Looking around the house for something interesting "on the floor" was pretty futile. But the front porch? Ah... dappled light, camellia and liquidambar leaves, jacaranda blossoms. Perfect!

"Fun" is today's prompt--so here's a quick snap out of the archives, of a family picnic at Arcadia Park. Most likely 1988, since the baby is John!

My favorite time of day--early in the morning, when I've gotten myself down to the coffeemaker, and the day is still cool and fresh and full of possibility.

The rival time, for me, is in the evening when I can pour a glass of wine and forget all the "stuff" the day brought.

Photo of the Day July 2--Busy!

I have yarn to wind, quilts to bind, books and magazines and catalogs to read--oh, and bills to pay, but that comes last!

The prompt for today was "self portrait." Now, I happen to not like the way I look, in fact I'm quite chicken about having my picture taken. So this was a hard one for me to do. Wound up sitting on the bed in the guest room with the rooster lamp and just snapping it. Came out nice and blurry, just the way I like it!
