Friday Fun - July 24, 2015

It's Friday and since Tanya is on break from Willy-Nilly Friday Five I thought I'd go ahead and post my Five Things anyway for you to enjoy.  Plus I'll join in on a few other fun memes.

I have another "theme" post here today.  See if you can guess what the theme is.
1.
                                            Bees Flying into a bee box

 2.
                   P-17 Flying Fortress - Wings of Freedom Tour - We went to the airport to see the planes but I captured this shot as the planes were leaving.  This was over my mom's house.

3.
                      Tiger Swallow Tail on Thistle - Mill Creek Drive  (I've been waiting all summer to capture a butterfly photo and finally got one.)

4.

Pelicans Flying over Mill Creek - I've got more photos of these amazing birds that I need to share.

5.

                Dragonfly on Rocks - I'm not familiar with the name of this dragonfly though.

6. - Bonus as it still fits the theme. - Joining (Life's Sweets and Spices) here for Orange You Glad It's Friday.

I spotted this Food Truck while heading out on a drive and had to stop and take a picture of it.  It's not often you see a bright orange truck like this one.




So did you all guess my theme?  (Things With Wings)

Also joining Hilary for Follow Friday for Fill-In Fun.


The statements:
  1. I love the _____
  2. ___ isn’t my favorite _____
  3. I always cry____ .
  4. I used to ____ but I ____
My Answers:

1.  I love the time I spend visiting so many wonderful blogs and learning new things from them.

2. Summer isn't my favorite season.  - It's way to HOT here for my taste. 

3.  I always cry at things like Parade's or Weddings or Graduations.  I'm very sentimental.

4.  I used to enjoy making handmade cards but I rarely take the time now to stamp and make cards.   I should get back into it though as it's fun and relaxing.

    Love all your photos and themes. The "wings and things were really neat". Those birds are really pretty can't wait to see more pictures of them!! Your kitty picture is really unique. I've only heard of PicMonkey, I'll check those other two.

    Blessings,
    Gert

    I've said it before, but your photography is awesome. Does Coleen share your love of the camera? Love kitty's photo and the pelicans and butterfly are great too. That is a unique food truck, too! Always a joy to visit with you. When does Coleen begin school?

    That's some cool cat art! Loved the wings pictures, too, especially the pelicans. We only have the brown pelicans down here in the swamps.

    You must have had a high speed for that Flying Fortress shot since the propellors do not look like they are turning. Interesting catch. Love that food truck! I could go for some good Mexzican food....

    Those are great images for your blog hop, Ida! Love the Pelicans and that dragonfly is so unusual! I laughed to see the orange truck with the butterfly on it! Great addition to the theme!

    Hello Ida, Spooky-Boo is gorgeous! I did guess your "things with wings" theme (not sure if I'm putting the comment in the right place, though) and thought your butterfly photo was particularly well executed. I think your dragonfly might be a White Tail, but don't quote me :) I'm envious of your pelicans. Bill and I have only seen them once in all the time we've been in Vancouver. Oh, and your orange-themed photo was perfect. All in all, a wonderful post!
