Song-ography and SHS - September 15, 2013


Song-ography followed by Scavenger Hunt Sunday.




Please join me as we celebrate, Song-ography brought to you by Kathy from,  You'll Shoot Your Eye Out.

This weeks song:  Something Beautiful by
Need to Breathe.

Click to enlarge photos.


 Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful to touch me.

I went to my archives for this one because this sunset that I capture in early January of this year does indeed look as if the sky is on fire.  It was certainly a beautiful sunset to behold.

Let's now join Ashley, Ramblings and Photos for this weeks
    Scavenger Hunt Sunday edition.  This weeks prompts are:  Enjoy a Pumpkin Drink, Read a Book, Bake or Eat a Sweet Treat, Animal and Get Artsy.


ENJOY A PUMPKIN DRINK:  I cheated a little for this prompt since I did not have anything pumpkin drink related here and it's to early for Pumpkin drinks in our area.  We are still in the upper 90's temperature wise although it is supposed to drop down considerable this coming week.  Instead I bring you (English Toffee Tea).  It sounded like a "fall" type drink to me.

READ A BOOK:

Coleen reading to Callie-Jo, who looks totally bored by the whole thing.  The great thing is that Coleen actually found a fictional story that she is enjoying reading.  Normally she only reads non-fiction type books so it was a great surprise when she came home from school this past week with this little book about a Gerbil.  (She has 2 Gerbils so I guess that is what caught her attention.)

BAKE OR EAT A SWEET TREAT:

Zucchini Cupcakes with Caramel Frosting baked for Greta's birthday this past Thursday.


ANIMAL:  You probably know what's coming...at our house there is no shortage of animals, especially cats.  Here is one of them.

Mike was shining something up on the ceiling so she would follow it with her eyes and I caught that wonderful cross-eyed look that I so love.  We call her our "wonky-faced" cat.

GET ARTSY:  Hubby complied with my request to do something "artsy" as he worked to clear off our parking strip and get it ready to plant grass.  The debris is from the left-over sticks from the trees we had cut down earlier in the summer.

His masterpiece:

                                                       Have a Nice Day!

  4. First off, you're right...Callie-jo looks totally bored with the whole reading thing.

    And the cross-eyed look you captured for the animal shot is hilarious...

    But I truly giggled out loud at the smiley face.

    Great series this week!

  11. Ida, your sky on fire photos are stunning! I also looked through the scavenger hunt photos (of course) and especially love the yummy iced cupcakes and the photo of your cat looking cross-eyed. What a fun group of photos!

  12. Hi Ida, I've been lurking in your blog for awhile. It's about time I said something. The colors in your sunsets are beautiful! I love the Chaim Potok quote. I've been watching Coleen grow for years, I can't believe how big she's getting. I think she's the most photographed child I know. Your cat looks hysterical cross eyed, such a pretty cat. Your husbands art piece is a scream. Who knew dirt and a broom was an art form. Have a blessed week. Hugs

  15. Your final picture is so clever! What a guy indulging you in your SHS... So, I've not had English Toffee Tea... sounds better than pumpkin which I find a little too sweet. That sunset has amazing color.
