September Days

I made a list of local places I wanted to photograph and I crossed off three in August.  However, for every place I visited, I came home and added two more to my list!  This month I went to New London to photo trains and graffiti.  I went to Harkness State Park twice for the ocean and flowers, and to Fort Trumbull for river views.  Our September weekend in Massachusetts gave us an early view of fall color.   I'm letting challenges on Red Bubble determine which photos will "go public" first.  I have LOTS of choices! lol

Walking through August

Well, I made an all out effort to get out and do some serious walking, and I took hundreds of photos. It's funny how we visit so many places when we're on the road traveling, but just don't bother when we're home. So...I made a conscious decision to see some local scenery. Beauty is all around me and it's been fun exploring places I haven't seen in years!
Here is the mansion at Harkness State Park in black and white and edited to low key to create a mysterious atmosphere.  It was a cloudy day. ☺

July Excitement

I took advantage of a sale at RedBubble to order one of my own tee shirts.  I wanted to see the color, print and quality in person!  Here's the good news.  It looked as I expected based on the way I created it.  And it was soft.  And the measurement in inches was exactly as RB stated.  It did not look so much the way RB displays it on site, however.  ☺

I chose the "Someone Waits For You~ Grunge T-Shirt".  You can tell by the sticker (RB sells stickers) that the design is orange, but the lilies appear red/rosy on the "tee wearing figure" image.   Well, I can now say for sure that on the actual tee, the lilies are the same orange that they are in real life!  ♥

I have taken some photos of this tee with the lilies.  Now I need to choose one for the RB Buyer's booth, but this has been a very exciting month with a MAJOR family reunion and I've been much too distracted.  Maybe next month I'll get caught up....   (lol) sighhhhhhhh
PS You can see the grunge lilies sticker posted on the very first entry of this blog.

June Is Over???

June went by way too fast or maybe I'm just spending way too much time in my several small gardens... AND on RedBubble!  There was my annual high school reunion, family visits and lots of picture taking.  The RB viewer at the top of this blog shows some of my additions to that site.  ☺♥♥♥

Arrival in Connecticut

Great trip!  Photo total is above 4400 and now includes Longwood Gardens and Bushkill Falls in Pennsylvania.
My garden calls me...flowers are blooming!  ♥☺

All Kentucky

Still on the road and loving the photo opportunities! Did some hiking at Cumberland Falls in Kentucky before moving north to visit some distilleries on the Bourbon Trail. Met a man while taking photos of his barn. I hope he'll join RB!  Picture total is now 2795 for the trip.  ☺

This rose is growing in the beautiful garden at the Stephen Foster Memorial for My Old Kentucky Home located in Bardstown, KY.

 

On the Road

We had two fantastic days in St. Augustine and two wonderful days in Savannah (have come to love both!). Today we visited a gold mine in Dahlonega GA and then went to Amicalola State Park to make reservations for Thanksgiving. Yeah, November!  We're committed, not our style at all! lol   I've taken 1432 photos in the last six days, well in five of the last six, one day none.  Some are good, some I like, some are just for memories sake. ♥☺
