Day 230...Club Meeting

Day 230

Work and photography club meeting...

that was my day! 

Taking this photo was the only time I picked my camera up today...

It was a great meeting, interesting speaker tonight with fabulous photos from Peru

but probably should've stayed home to pack my bags!

Too tired now, going to bed!

Home of Northland Photography Club!!!

Great store! Great owners!

Day 229...Garden Revival

Day 229

The recent rain did bring about a revival...

a garden variety revival..

Some of my flowers look as good as they did in Spring...

Won't talk about the rest of them! 

Here's one brought back to life and one about to bloom!

 Susans

Sedum

Day 228...Country Wandering

Day 228

Took a short drive this evening and found a few interesting things!

 "I'll get you, my pretty....and your little dog too! AH HAHAHAHA!"

 There were five! 

Since I was the driver I was really more concerned with any cars
that might be coming up behind me. 

You can see from the photos that it was a fairly curvy road.
Not the kind I normally stop in the middle of!

After the first two crossed I could see the others in the brush off of the side of the road so

I did finally grab my camera and catch these shots. 

This little Woodchuck/Groundhog (they are the same thing ..."creatures" as Mark and I call them ) was just scurrying around eating grass until he saw me ...

then he scurried even faster...too cute! I think he thought he was hiding from me.

He sure does blend in well!

Day 227...My $133 Photos...:(

Day 227

Well, without going into details that no one really cares about...

I'll just tell ONE thing that happened in my day today..(yes, there was more) :(

I got a speeding ticket...:(

 A $133 speeding ticket...:(
I should've stayed home!

But then I wouldn't have these wonderful $133 photos, now would I?!

Just tell me which one you want to buy and I'll be so happy to sell it to you...only $133! :)

 one of my favorite walks...:)

 beautiful moss

Day 226...Santa-Cali-Gon Days

Day 226

Mark, my mom-in-law and I went to Santa-Cali-Gon Days festival today!

I love going to fairs and fall festivals!

  a fun, colorful shot!

Independence, MO Courthouse on the square.

We got there about 11 am and this was the crowd.

An hour or so later, you couldn't find a square foot of open space.

It was crazy busy. Making up for the rainy start to the weekend, I suppose!

Day 225...Rain Ahead! :)

Day 225

Mark said it was still raining in Liberty when I talked to him on my way home from work...

it literally started raining again as I came into Liberty city limits on the highway.

We drove out of rain on our way to K.C.KS. to Nebraska Furniture Mart

and drove back into it again on our way home! 

We'll take all we can get right now! 

Shot these pics out the car window on the way home.

 I love the way the setting sun makes the cloud line pink!
