a NEW setting sun experience

sunsetchallenge

Happy hump day! Whoot! It’s Wednesday 🙂  So on Sunday, my daily ‘challenge’ was to watch the sunset.  Pretty easy, right?  Well, I discovered that I probably haven’t really ever waited for the sun to set.  I ALWAYS notice the really pretty sunsets.  I love them!  My husband knows I love them and when he sees one, he’s kind enough to call me and say “Honey, look outside!”  But I don’t remember ever just sitting and waiting for it to set.  It was a nice time to just sit and meditate and think over things while I watched the fiery ball slowly descend.  I recommend it!  You should try it, if you haven’t lately.  To know the exact time of the sunset where you’re at… there’s an app for that!    Check it out!

a NEW hiking experience – going solo

Happy Saturday!  Today’s ‘challenge’ from the 28-day challenge I’m doing was to take a hike.  Again, this wasn’t really that challenging, because I live so close to the mountains.  But what was NEW to me, was going for a hike…SOLO.  I think I’ve always had someone with me before! To be honest and truthful, it was a bit freaky because I chose a very STEEP hike and not too many people were on the trail.  My mind kept thinking…’If I tumble off this cliff, no one would even know!’ 🙂  But I didn’t fall off the cliff and here is a collage of my trek.  I think I’ll do it more often….maybe I’ll get over my ‘solo-hiking anxiety’….as long as I stay away from the edge 🙂

Have a great day and learn or do something NEW!

NEW photos of my week #24

Good morning all!  I went shooting early this morning…not really planning to go on a flag hunt, but it turned out that way:o).  I named my collage ‘July Photo Hunt’….but you’ll forgive me, right? (Since it’s really only June 30th)?  These were all taken within a couple of miles of my home.

I think everyone should go on a flag hunt!!!  Although we love our country year-round, there’s no better time to get some great shots of our beautiful Red White and Blue than this time of year!  Here’s my favorite:

And when I was ready to head home (my stomach needed breakfast!)…I decided to drive down one more street…and as I turned the corner, I SQUEALED with delight when I saw this:

Have a great day everyone.  Do or Learn something NEW!
