Mellow Yellow

Time to get caught up again.
We've been packing a lot into this summer! Hardly time to think, let alone try to do something creative. Requires thought, time and materials. Hard to do when I'm swinging a hammer. It's still demolition mode on our spa, so....Not sitting still all that much! And when I am, I'm trying to finish a blanket that is over 12 years in the making. More on that later...

I'll try to get caught up on EIM:
For "Yellow," I chose daisies I photographed in Flagstaff on a road trip with my son:

Yellow Dots

For "Window," this stylistic photograph of our view out a cabin on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon last week. We were a mere 50 feet from that big hole in the ground, separated by a small stand of Ponderosa. And it was delightfully cool weather.

Grand View

And I have "China" on the brain for the TwobyTwo, so this is a carryover from that prompt for this week's EIM: "Wall."

The Great Wall of China

Which brings me to my response for the TwobyTwo, a lotus flower:

Chinese flower

I was going to draw from my antique tea set, but then I realized they were Japanese, so I'll save that for another day!

Back to all the fun we've been up to. Hammers and nails. Thanks for stopping by; make sure to check out these fun challenges!

Sunflower for a Birthday

My baby has reached that adult milestone of 21. Can you hear the heavy sighing? Sigh. Life is full of potential for her as she has a boyfriend who adores her and a brand new job teaching math at a middle school. (Nate's mother used to be my son's math teacher. Life is interesting that way).

Her favorite flowers are sunflowers and I had one volunteer in my vegetable garden and bloom just in time.

Not bad for a phone, huh? Makes me wonder why I have a camera or why my camera doesn't take phone calls or send texts.
