1443. leonardo divinci

 

take a very close look

an engineering wonder

a real work of art 🦊❤️

When I picked up and held a piece of Queen Anne’s Lace I automatically thought of Leonardo DiVinci and his architectural and engineering designs. Not only were they amazing structural and mechanical wonders, they were also works of art. 🦊❤️

1442. the cat’s meow

 

never too busy

to keep himself squeaky clean

he’s the cat’s meow 🦊❤️ 

One of the things that I most appreciate about Tommy is how clean and well groomed he is. He is rugged and is out and about in all kinds of weather.  He always takes good care of himself. He is a model of self care.   He really is the cat’s meow!!!! 🦊❤️

1441. golden memories

 

the fish of my dreams

the ever so humble carp

golden memories 🦊❤️

I walk across the stone bridge multiple times daily. Each and every time I stop and look down into the water to see if I can catch a glimpse of my beloved carp. So many memories of childhood, the Monongahela River, lost fishing poles, fishing with my kids and much more. 🦊❤️

1440. fishing for customers

 

no one is biting

much too hot to go fishing

dog days of summer 🦊❤️

It was possibly the hottest and most humid day yet. There was an eerie stillness in the Acme Market. Customers were shopping in slow motion to linger in the air conditioning I deduced. The sales clerk in the fish department could not get a bite. 🦊❤️

1439. me and my shadow

 

the hot morning sun

still low in the cloudless sky

me and my shadow 🦊❤️

Our shadows can be a real source of wonder and fascination if we allow our imagination to wander.  🦊❤️

1438. just describing things

 

the morning’s moisture

like shellac on the brown tree

reflecting the dawn 🦊❤️

I like to post blogs that will spark some thought and reflection in the readers.  Lately I’ve been a little short on that kind of inspiration. When that happens I usually resort to just describing what is in the photograph.  Then it dawns on me that just about everything that can be captured in a photograph is food for thought. 🦊❤️

1437. some like it hot

 

on the empty street

yellow weed flowers stand out

they just love this heat 🦊❤️

I love how the “weed flowers” flourish in the hot weather.  The hotter and drier it gets, the more they grow!!! It’s pretty inspirational.  🦊❤️
