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)

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.

  19. 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....

  20. Wow, your bee picture is amazing, Ida. I love how you captured them in flight. Have a great weekend! Hugs to you!

  24. summer is my favorite time of year - the hotter the better

  25. 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!

  26. 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!

  27. wow...this post covers a lot of things. Enjoyed it all, too. :)

  31. Superb photos of birds and insects in flight and I love the digital art of the kitty!
    How lucky to see all this and share with others!
    Have a Great Week, Ida!
