Songography - Blessed Edition and Scavenger Hunt Sunday.

Welcome!

Please join me for SONGOGRAPHY and SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY

This week Kathy (You'll Shoot Your Eye Out) offered us the song,  Blessed by Martina McBride.
Again a country song that I wasn't familiar with but this one I actually liked when I listed to it.


I am truly "Blessed" to have a wonderful family, a nice home to live in, food to eat, clothes to wear and time to enjoy the beauty around me.  Today I took a little drive and was able to capture some wonderful pictures.  Then on my way to the store tonight I saw that the sun was just starting to set and I knew that it was going to be a gorgeous sunset.  So I made a bit of a "detour" from the store and headed out on a country road so I could capture this:

Yes it is a beautiful world and I am truly blessed.

Please join me now as we head over to Ashley's blog  (Ramblings and Photos) for Scavenger Hunt Sunday.  The prompts this week were:
Horizon, Sharp, Leather, Blue and Diagonal Lines.

HORIZON:  One of the many shots I took on my little drive today.

 There was a bit of haze over the mountains which is pretty typical for this time of year but I think they are still lovely.

SHARP:  Coleen and I stopped yesterday on our way for Yogurt so I could get some pictures and I knew exactly what I was looking for as I'd taken similar pictures of this very same thing last year but never posted them.  I decided to see if they were still there and sure enough they were:  Well new one's that is.

I'm thinking the thorns on these bushes must be sharp.

LEATHER:  Got my little model and did a small photo session of her Leather Jacket that her Grandpa bought her for Christmas last year.


BLUE:  Frost crystals on the Van's tinted window - Aren't they pretty.


DIAGONAL LINES:  This one was a bit tough but I think this counts...

Callie-Jo has diagonal whiskers.

  1. I love these. The blue frost is my favorite. The horizon is very nice as well as the sharp. I always tend to lean toward the nature shots, but the leather 'girl' is really cute, and of course, the cat!

  2. I love the frost crystals. We haven't had a frost yet. But, I live on the ocean so that's not unusual.

  7. BEAUTIFUL post Ida, and love all of your shots. Those little withered berries are lovely. I love seeing little bits of color in this season, as the beauty of fall dissipates. By the way, your cat is wonderful with such unique markings!

  9. Such beauty! Yes, the beauty of Gods artwork is truly a blessing. But you are doubly blessed because you SEE it! Do you know how many people would take that gorgeous sky for granted and not even notice it?!?! Blessings are everywhere if we take the time to embrace them. Thank you for joining in on Song-ography! P.S. No country song next week :)

  14. I think mist in the mountains makes them even more beautiful. Your sunset was worth the detour, thanks for doing that and sharing those glorious pictures.
