~ Tuesday Two by Two + WPC ~ From Every Angle ~

Took these shots (and more to come) at BiZi Farm after shopping for fresh produce.

I love old tractors and trucks!

Toadstools ~ Weekly Photo Challenge ~ From Every Angle ~

Toadstools like these have been few and far between this hot dry summer in the Pacific Northwest. Today the rains have returned in earnest, so I expect to see more of these big beauties popping up soon.

This week’s challenge is to photograph a stationary object from different angles, and provide a gallery of (at least) three shots. Hope you enjoy my offering.

~ Tuesday Twos ~ Compare & Contrast ~ Same View, Different Sky ~

I took the blue sky photo earlier last week and decided to snap the same perspective when the air was filled with smokey haze from wildfires burning in central Washington.

Fortunately, we are back to clear skies once again!

~ Make it Everyday! ~ Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Today Was a Good Day ~

Here’s the kind of ‘everyday’ I prefer!

Quiet time in the morning (on the deck when the weather’s mild) with a smoothie and/or coffee, a jumble puzzle and my laptop. Then, brunch with Creighton followed by a walk with Jello. Afternoon is for projects around the house and gardens, after which a warm shower leads to a glass of wine and time writing, reading or watching the koi. Then sharing a fresh, simple dinner with Creighton, preferably on the deck with music and conversation. Then I’m ready for rest.
