NEW photos of my week #29 and an act of kindness

I think it is AWESOME when people do something for the sole purpose of making someone smile.  I’m choosing to believe that’s what happened here:  I went on a photo walk yesterday and wandered by an abandoned gas station.  There were two old cars parked in the stalls where the gas pumps used to be.  The windows of the cars were really quite dirty, but as I looked closer….I saw Mickey and Minnie in one of the cars…and I couldn’t help but SMILE!  I think the owner put M&M there just to make people smile (unless Mickey and Minnie were so big the owners didn’t have room in their house to put them).  But again, I’m choosing to believe they’re there for people’s pleasure.  I think it was a GREAT idea and an act of kindness to do that!

Have a great week!  Learn or DO something NEW!

a NEW setting sun experience

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!
