Weekly Photo Challenge: Shadowed
“For this week’s challenge, find the shadows. You can choose a literal interpretation and shoot an actual shadow or you can play with the light and the dark, and create a moody scene or capture your subject in a rich and interesting way.”

The Small Joys of Summer
Here in the US, Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start to the summer season. This past winter wore me down for more reasons than just the weather, so I’ve been looking forward to summer even more than usual this year. In anticipation of the pleasures that lie before us, I’ve made a little list of the small things I relish during these warm and verdant months of the year. I must thank the Daily Post and Anna Fonté at girl in the hat for the inspiration for this post. It was great fun and now I’m dying to get this summer thing started!
Small Joys of Summer
strawberries
the baking sun on my skin
the cool, dark shade of a tree
peonies
hydrangeas
plump, industrious bumble bees covered with pollen
hummingbirds
steak and onion kebabs on the grill
anything on the grill, really
eating al fresco every chance I get
watermelon
sweet corn with lots of butter and salt
peaches
homemade vanilla ice cream (preferably with strawberries)
brain-freezing Coke Slushies
bare feet or
flip flops
painted toenails
the smell of freshly cut grass
dips in the pool on a blistering day
biking, swimming, paddling
talking around the campfire
fireworks on the Fourth of July
picnics of all kinds – must include potato chips
free outdoor concerts
baseball games
lightening bugs at dusk
thunderstorms
Relaxing on the porch late at night (with or without thunderstorms, but hopefully with strawberries)
Should anything be added to the list? Please let me know.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside (Wynkoop Brewing Co.)
The Wynkoop Brewing Company is a legendary brewpub in Denver, Colorado. It’s housed in an old public building with massive timber support beams, stamped tin ceilings, and creaky wood floors. This photo was taken on a quiet Sunday evening while enjoying fish and chips, macaroni and cheese, and Railyard Ale. A delicious and relaxing way to end the day.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Carefree
I apologize. I have been MIA for weeks now. Out of the blue, life got a little crazy right in the middle of my summer and fun things were sacrificed to the Tyrant of Busyness. To get back on the blogging wagon, I thought I’d participate in The Daily Post‘s Photo Challenge for this week which is “carefree”.

The essence of life is not in the great victories or grand failures, but in the simple joys.
