Yesterday afternoon I took a lovely stroll through Everson with my camera. The sun was shining, the clouds were billowy, and the birds were chirping (maybe only in my head)…a beautiful day the Lord had made. I knew I wanted to get the flags lining Main Street for Veterans Day, but it turns out there are other cool things in Everson to photograph.
Oh, the tractor picture. I had to take it because it has my current last name and my maiden initials…only if you know me :)
I got up this morning somewhat early for me. I have been sick (the flu & colds) a lot in the last couple months and because of it my sleep patterns have been disrupted and I have been sleeping in late. Todd would probably disagree that I even have a sleep pattern, but I think I do or did :)
Anyways, this morning there was a light layer of fog and with the sun shining through it was just beautiful. I didn’t quite capture the depth and colors (so you get sepia) with my camera but the idea is there. I was also very surprised to see my white delphiniums in full bloom, one full stock and a second with buds.
This picture is about as spooky as I’ll get. I did make myself into a zombie on Picnik, but thought it was a little too freaky to post. Halloween is probably my least favorite holiday, other than silly costumes and candy, I’m not really into ghouls, goblins and witches.
Tonight we are helping out at our church with games for the community, should be fun. Afterwards we are watching a scary movie with our small group at our house. A little nervous about that one, horror films don’t exactly fall into my favorite movie category.
Hope you all have a fun & safe night!
The last little bit of color in the yard, soon to disappear until next year. The red leaves of the burning bush are always spectacular, I look forward to seeing them change every year.
It’s been awhile since I have posted anything, a little unmotivated I suppose. I did have some fun with Picnik after playing with Cheesecake & Mosey the other day.
I recently came upon this picture from my trip to Greece & Turkey in 2004. We were entering the grounds of the Haiga Sophia in Istanbul when I saw these funny animals. If you look closely you will see that the dog is on the roof and the cat is on the ground.
I am finally done with my vacation posts. I guess I took a lot of pictures :)
The last day we had together, Labor Day, we took my parents to Blaine of all places. It was fun. We drove around Semiahmoo Resort and then stopped at some of the beaches to walk a bit. I never realized how close White Rock, B.C. is from the bay. We also had a beautiful drive home, the bright green grass fields were stunning.
After one night in Winthrop we decided to go a different route home that took us through Leavenworth, the cute little Bavarian town. We passed beautiful Lake Chelan, took pictures of a neat mountain with dates painted on it, and stopped at a fruit stand where we bought spicy chipotle mustard. We made it to Leavenworth for lunch and spent a few hours browsing the shops (again, poor Todd) :)
Winthrop was a fun little western town. We browsed shops most of the afternoon (poor Todd) and took fun pictures with their face sign.
