Focus on Life Half Way Through the Year

This week Sally is letting have that free space in the middle of the Bingo Card.

That means we can choose any photo we choose.  Fun!

You might think you are looking at a group of  large gnomes, but you would be wrong.

On our family reunion to Table Rock Lake we snuck away to have some fun at the Extreme Go Carts

Those gnome hats are called balaclavas and are to keep sweat from getting on the inside of the helmet.  

I took photos because I'm not in to Extreme Anything! But they had a blast and also some bruises as the carts can go up to 40 mph!

Be sure to check Sally's Blog for more photos!

But looking closer I also saw orange, pale blue and a bit of pink there as well.

A gorgeous natural bridge.

The stream was shallow here and the red walls of the canyon seemed to rise up to the sky. 

I could have stayed here all day.

Focus on Life June

This month is: Finding the Fun In Photography!

For the first week of June let's get silly!  Or catch someone being silly!

Giving the thumbs up during a round of frisbee.

In most families the first child is the responsible one, the one who takes her role seriously. 

But not this girl.She acts just like a first grader.

She lights up every place she walks in to.
I love seeing her smile and wish she lived much closer so I could see it more often.

From the egg to getting feathers and  to learning to fly 

Listening for his mother's signals and sending his own back

It's been so fun to watch these babies grow.
