Willy-Nilly Friday Five - June 17, 2016

Happy Friday!

Joining Tanya (Around Roanoke) today for,
WILLY-NILLY FRIDAY FIVE


1.  I haven't shared this photo yet for the 52 Frames project that I've been participating in.  This one is for the challenge, DOF (Depth of Field).

The link above takes you to that album where you can see some amazing photos.

2. Sharing this photo taken last month of one of the Indian dancers costumes at the Return to the River Salmon festival that Coleen and I attended.

3.  Yesterday's Good Fences post was all about cats & fences.  Coleen complained that I hardly ever share photos of dogs so while we were out walking I snapped a photo of this little dog in someone's yard.  Love that crooked smile it has.

 



4.  Also while out on that same walk I snapped some Yellow Yarrow growing in someone's garden.  It's another of the DOF shots that I was practicing on.

5.  Last night Coleen and I took a short walk down to the school as I wanted a clear view (no power lines) of the pretty pink clouds that were in the sky.  This is one of them.

6. Bonus Shot - Another of the 52 Frames challenges that I haven't shared.  This one was for: Negative Space.  My hubby was doing some welding and I decided to capture the sparks from the gun.  I love how it turned out although as far as the "negative space" it could have been a bit better.

Have a great day and enjoy the weekend.

Seasons & BW Wednesday

Today I'm joining Jesh (St. Germains) & Adrienne (My Memory Art) for their memes:

SEASONS  and BLACK & WHITE WEDNESDAY











Saturday there were 2 festivals going on at once.  One was the Return to the River Salmon Festival.  Featured here are some of the Native American Dancers that performed during the event.

Some pretty grass that I decided to photograph on our walk up to where the ducks (rubber ones) were released for the Ducky Derby.

Izzy The Camel is a popular attraction at the Ducky Derby

A view of a farm across the creek from where the festivals were held.  It was a cloudy day but only a "sprinkling" of rain fell so while it was windy & cold the rain held off to everyone's relief.

A sea of colorful ducks floating down towards the finishing line.

A lone duck that drifted away from the pack.

Hooray because the first Klicker Strawberries of the Season were ready on Saturday so we had our first shortcake of the summer.  Yum!

Just because he's too cute not so share,  Bandit enjoying the sun streaming into the living room.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday - June 1, 2014

Welcome.  It's time to join Ashley (Ramblings and Photos) for SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY.  This weeks prompts:

Make Mine A_________, Quirky, Morning Ritual,
What Were They Thinking, What's in your_______

A couple of my photos are "archive" photos but I just couldn't get all the prompts in this week otherwise.

MAKE MINE A____________

Piping Hot Fresh from the Oven Slice of Pizza....Enough Said1

 

 

QUIRKY:  I'm pretty sure I've never shared this before but in case I have please chalk it up to (a senior moment). 

 



 

 

On of the many "Quirky" frog statues/figures in Milton-Freewater, OR know for their (Muddy Frogwater Festival).

 

 

MORNING RITUAL:  Does Anyone Remember This SHS entry?  Well I realized this morning that I had never shared the Tea Cup shot so since many people enjoy a morning cup of tea as part of their ritual I thought I share this with you as promised in the previous entry:

 



WHAT WERE THEY THINKING:  Yesterday I took Coleen to an event at the local Community College.  They had lots of activities for kids and one of them was a tour of their Water Facility where they are raising Lamprey Eels and Mussels.  Here is a shot of Coleen and the gal who was giving the tour.  I'm not sure what Coleen was telling her but I love the intense look she has on her face.

WHAT'S IN YOUR________

Mouth...in this case Coleen is inside the mouth of a Giant Salmon.  One of the displays at the Return to the River Salmon Festival that we attended yesterday.
