Photos from # 228

I had a lot of photos in this folder, but mostly things I’d already posted in the past month or so for challenges. So I didn’t want to put all those on again . Here’s just a few I picked out.

The wooden marker at the local cemetery for Buddy Holly’s grave site.

One Word Sunday – hanging

One Word Sunday – hanging

For Debbie’s challenge:

Hanging

***

Debbie asks us to find photos for the prompt word = hanging. I have a few here.

***

I saw these outside the store one day. Lots of hanging baskets of flowers had purple and yellow ones. I think these are petunias.

***

These red colored geraniums were in a hanging basket. It shows the flowers, leaves, and some background red bricks.

***

Thunder clouds hanging ominously in the sky with raindrops

***

Icicles hanging from the eaves of the house roof one cold day

***

Two bicycles, one blue one just hanging out on the sidewalk in front of a store, and another is hanging upside down from the rafters inside a reataurant.

 

***

And finally …

At sunrise one morning I was out there taking photos, when I noticed something hanging from the edge of the roof. Getting closer, I saw the spider. He or she had a nice web, but it didn’t show up, but he/she was enjoying dangling there I guess. In the first photo you can just barely see the spider (a little dot). I thought the reflection in the window of the sunrise was pretty cool, too! 🙂 … This afternoon the spider was still there, so I got a closer photo of him. 🙂

For Debbie’s challenge:

Double

This photo is of an egg we were frying. It has a double yolk! Then the reflection in the pan looks like a smile, below the double yolk ‘eyes’. haha!

Here there is a beer label with two XX (Cerveza DOS EQIS) and it is green with the Xs in red.

Then there are two of my salt and pepper shakers – novelty chickens, white and wearing blue bonnets/shawls.

Seeing double? Yes, there are two twin orange daisies with yellow centers.

I do have hundreds of old family photos. You might call them old, or antique, or vintage, and I love them all. I’ve never really tried to organize any of them. Most all have pictures of people in them. I don’t post photos with family members on here, though. I don’t know that any were ‘gifted’ to me, more like they just came into my possession after my parents and grand-parents passed away.

So, instead of photographs, I have some beautiful oil paintings that were done by my mom. these were all gifted to me at one time or another. She was always painting something, all kinds of subjects from animals, Indian art and pottery, flowers, clowns, family member’s portraits, unicorns, and fun things for the kids.

I think of my mom every time I see one of her paintings in my house (and I even have some hanging up in my garage). I can still see in my mind’s eye of her in her painting room in front of the easel, with all her paints and brushes. It makes me smile at the remembrance.

***

These oil paintings show:

  • A tiger in the snow
  • An Indian (Native American) woman with blue feathers in her hair
  • A longhorn cattle skull, with turquoise necklace and two vases of pottery
  • An Indian (Native American) woman sitting on a fur rug
  • A big bouquet of white, yellow, and pink flowers (maybe dahlias) in a wicker looking vase
  • Several ducks flying over a lake with tan colored reeds on the edges (these 2 photos are of one large painting)

Smiles For a Month – May

Here’s a fun little photo challenge for the month of May. I just heard about it from a friend blogger  Janet . I think I’ll try to do these!

Here’s the link to the host of the challenge, Debs Stott:

# 1 Fresh

These purple and pink flowers were being refreshed by a fine mist.

***

# 2 Sharp

Four of our sharp knives from the kitchen (silver with black handles)

***

# 3 Brand

My Ghost tattoo could be my ‘brand’. It’s right above my ankle and the letters are in sky blue ink

I thought of my tattoos. Some call it getting inked. My first one is of course in the same color ink that I always loved. I wrote the letters myself, and the artist transferred it to my skin. I love getting tattoos, and have three, so far. The others are a peace sign, and the names of my grand children with 2 stars.
