Seasons - May Happenings

 So much to do lately with all the flower planting, bowling, end of school activities, birthdays etc...Finally I'm joining Jesh (St. Germains) for SEASONS again.




Recently we took a drive one evening to see if we could spot the Goats that had been released in what is someday supposed to be a Mall here.  It's been vacant for several years now & over grown with brush and just looks horrible.  So the city brought in a herd of over 300 goats to help clean up all the brush and plants so they can begin to start working on the mall again next year.

Here is one of the pictures of those goats.

On the way home we spotted some deer in a field nearby so we pulled into a parking area and I took a few pictures.

It had been raining and after we saw these deer we spotted a lovely rainbow in the sky.

This is my shot that I took. - Coleen had her camera with her and it has a wide-angle feature on it so she was able to capture the entire rainbow.  I'm sharing her photo as well.

Finally just because I think it's pretty I'm sharing a photo of a Golden Chain tree and some Rhododendron's that I took recently while out driving. 

What a beautiful season it is!

Also my new header today is some Chalk Art that Coleen drew last night in our driveway.  I converted them to Impressionist type photos on, www.befunky.com and used PicMonkey to create the banner.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday - May 12, 2013

 

Welcome to Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Before we get started on the hunt I want to wish all you "Mom's" out there a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!  This week our neighbors cat, Fluffy (she's been featured on my blog several times) had her kittens.  So in honor of Mother's Day I'm sharing a couple of pictures of her and the kittens first.  They aren't the best photo's but they will have to do.  Click to Enlarge:

The Calico one is my favorite.  I wish we could take one of them but with 6 cats of our own adding another one is out of the question.














Now let's get started on the hunt.  This weeks prompts were:

Perspective, Golden, Bloom, Dark and Local.


PERSPECTIVE:

While I was out at the local Community College getting another of the prompts I happened upon these awesome wind collages and captured this one.  I loved how the picture turned out so I searched for a suitable quote about perspective and added it to the photo.

GOLDEN:

The Dome (Gymnasium) of the college is indeed quite Golden:

 

BLOOM:  This was going to be my original shot for Golden but then I went with the college dome instead. 

 

 

This is a bloom from what is commonly known as a Golden Chain Tree.  This tree was loaded with blooms just like this and absolutely gorgeous.

 

DARK:

 





My daughter bought some LED garden lights (flowers and dragonflies) and I went out after it got dark and snapped a photo of the dragonfly lights.

LOCAL:  This weekend a local event (39th Annual Hot Air Balloon Stampede) took place.  I snapped this shot of a few of the balloons as they went over our house this morning.

That's it for this weeks hunt.  I hope you have enjoyed your stay.  Be sure to pop on over to Ashley's blog now and check out the other participants.  Have a great day.
