Summer Photo Challenge

Happy Summer Solstice, and the first day of summer!  It's the longest day of the year!  Not allot of sun today in S. Florida for the first day of summer, rain, rain and more rain.  raincoats and umberals are needed for today!  but I do love getting out and splashing in the puddles and photographing the raindrops on plants.  It worked out well with the photo challenge this week.  Just in time for Blissfully Domestics fun photo challenge this summer.

It is for all skill levels of photography. You should join in. It is as laid back, no pressure, and fun just like summer is.  This week’s prompt is water. You can check out other submissions and join in at Summer Fun photo challenge



I love doing black and white photos!  I think it showed the raindrops up very well!



Wildflowers!

I especially enjoyed  taking these pictures of my neighborhood wildflowers. I saw them driving by and had to pull over.  They appear each year as a fresh surprise, white, pink, sunshine yellow...

The wildflowers embody so many of the gifts available in nature:  wonder and delight in a childs eyes and for anyone that will take the time to look, rejuvenation, quiet enjoyment, and sheer beauty of the balance of colors!  I remember walking along the road with my Mom and stopping and picking wildflowers to bring home and put in a cup for the table to share the beauty of nature.  So now with my camera I can share them with you!   I hope you go on a walk with your family and see what you can find along your roadway.  Take a photo and share, I would love to see your wildflowers where you live!!!
