FotoFriday- RAINBOW

 All week long I looked for something that resembled a rainbow... I took pictures of the prism effect on icicles on my house, but the colors didn't appear in the pictures..
In desperation, I bought these candies and realized that anything other than REAL M&Ms, just don't have the color.  So I put them on my countertop in a crystal cup and this was the result.  I just couldn't get the lighting right.  Serves me right for trying to take pictures after 7pm.  ugh.

FOTO FRIDAY- STRIPES

It's Friday, and that means we upload all our photos we took this past week that reflect the topic which was STRIPES ! I became keenly aware that I live in a world of stripes.. everywhere I look..

 I'd been wondering what made these striped footprints in the snow, so I took a walk outside to find out.  Deer.. little ones with little hooves.  I think they drag their feet.

 The back porch is nothing but lines or stripes, and when the sun shines, even more shadows appear in stripes.

 Our porch flooring is stripes of every kind.

 I've saved the best for last.. I am a patriot.  Our guest room is in the process of being a reflection of our American heritage.

In my office, there are bookshelves with stripes of books on the shelves.

FOTO FRIDAY, Spots

So glad to have Rebecca back at Renaissance, and with her comes the weekly FOTO FRIDAY. I wanted to join in, and I'd welcome you to do the same. This past week's topic was SPOTS.

Oops! Annabelle left her new shoes at my house. Lots of spots here.. :)

I was washing dishes when I noticed how the suds make spots too..

Peas.. cold buttered peas.. they were good, but I prefer the GREEN frozen or fresh ones rather than canned.

I have to admit, I have been the queen of spots all my life as a redhead, I have all the freckles anyone could ever desire. Trouble was, I tried to take a picture of them, and they seem to be melted together or something. Hmmm Oh, well...

Will be watching for STRIPES this week..

Here it is Friday already, and I'm late again with my Family Photo Friday blog.. UGH! This past week I've been looking for things associated with the letter "C".. I think I did okay.
Join me.. add your photos at the bottom of this page.. see if you can do better than I !!
Next week we shall look for the letter "D". This should be interesting.

My flower photos are all Cosmos.. a dainty and yet quite beautiful little flower. They come in all colors..

Family Photo Fun Friday

Butterflies and moths were our category this week.. Kids have some pictures too..

Join us this coming week as we look at a walk outdoors.

FF Faves

Wow! I think I've learned quite a bit from being on Rebecca's Foto Friday. It's been a great experience. Thanks, Rebecca. For our last FF here, we are entering our favorite photos.. there were a LOT of them for sure.

Head on over to Renaissance to see what others have entered for the grand finale.

FOTO FRIDAY: HAPPY !

I totally missed the last Foto Friday.. ugh. Well, I only have one

topic for this week.. HAPPY. I have to say, this was simple- it's

our bathroom heater and I've always thought it looked like it had

a face especially with that red heater light that looks like lips!

Join us at Rebecca's Blog for more Foto Friday..

Foto Friday: Architecture

Today is Wednesday. I'm posting my Foto Friday pictures today as I won't be around on Friday to do so. No pictures from Joyce this week.. we have t figure out a Blog for her so she can do it from home.

Architecture was an interesting topic. The city where I live has many interesting buildings with gargoyles atop them.. but I never got into town to get them.. so in preparation for our trip this week, we visited a quaint little town called Saxonburg. It's a most beautiful little village... and it has a claim to fame world wide too..
Join in the fun on Foto Friday at Rebecca's blog.. the more the merrier!

At the one end of Saxonburg is a place called Roebling Park named for the man who founded Saxonburg and also designed the Brooklyn Bridge.
This is a gazebo at one side of the park.

This is a replica of the Brooklyn Bridge

Across the street from Roebling Park is this interesting building that was once a home for some wealthy resident.. now it is an insurance agency.

The intersection of Main Street and Saxonburg Blvd.. one of 3 churches in this tiny village. I thought it's design was unique.

On the opposite corner is the UP Church with its arched glass windows and the thingy atop that looks like butterflies, though I didn't get a clear enough picture to zoom in on it. Sigh......

On the other side of town is the huge stone Lutheran Church.

I think it odd that churches have red doors. Someone called that to my attention one day.. I'd never noticed before that. Anyone know what the significance of red doors is?

Foto Friday-sky/clouds

DH and I have just had a discussion about what day today is.. and the calendar settled the argument- it's Saturday and I was prepared to do my Foto Friday pics this morning, thinking I had all day to do so... UGH.
Well, the topic was sky/clouds. I thought I'd never get one shot of anything but gray, but found that last evening there was a break.. so here they are-
By the way, the last picture belongs to my grand daughter Joyce who wants to join us but has no blog.. so I'm adding her to mine.
Foto Friday is hosted by Rebecca and the invitation is always open for anyone who wishes to jump in.. Check out what everyone else thought of Clouds/Sky..

This photo was taken and edited by Joyce..

Foto Friday: Still Life

It doesn't seem possible that it's already Friday and time to share our attempts at photography at Foto Friday on Rebecca's Blog. Do join us or just take a look at what others have exhibited.
This week we were concentrating on STILL LIFE. I think I have captured that- what do YOU think?
