~Welcome Summer~ Thematic Photographic 201 . . .

AND . . .~ Abstract~ Thematic Photographic 200

I hope you don't mind me combining these themes. Last week I was out of town. I only had my laptop and for a good part of the week, no Internet connection. The place we were staying at was in the process of updating their Internet equipment. By the time everything was in place ... my family and I were swimming, visiting with friends, eating pizza, etc. You get the picture. 

Anyway, I have decided to start back up with project 365 and post fresh new photos. This is suppose to be done daily but I do it weekly, just easier for me when I am working. So come back often, leave some comments, and even post your own photos.

Here is my photo for ~ABSTRACT~

It was taken the first night of our trip. I was playing around with the lighting by the pool.

Thanks Carmi  for the perfect theme! Here are my ~WELCOME SUMMER~ photos . . . fresh from last week.

THE POOL IS OPEN!!!

FINALLY............

Oh ... I know that many of you have had your pool's open for awhile now.

But here in the upper  mid-west. the weather has not been very cooperative

The first HOT week that we had, hubby and I were up at Lake Superior, it was in the 40's and 50's there.

Weeks of cool, cloudy weather followed. A couple of weeks it rained everyday.

FINALLY, we got a break and got a run of sunny, dry weather!!

So BRING ON that HOT, SUNNY, SUMMER WEATHER!!

Cause we are READY for it!!

Thematic Photographic 125 - Sepia

Another week ... another challenge...



~SEPIA~


To me, SEPIA shows . . .
a weathering . . .
a fading . . .
a place in time that has passed . . .

The days of summer are passed. The brilliant colors of summer have turned to the muted colors of winter. Here is but an echo of what once was.

Thanks to Carmi  and his blog at Written Inc for this weekly challenge

Thematic Photographic 113 - Transportation

I am trying a new Photo Meme this week hosted by Carmi Levy.

Transportation
This past summer we have spent several warm day traveling down river. It's a wonderful way to spend 3-4 hours on those lazy, hot days.
