Day 243

There were some really pretty clouds after the storm last night.

Day 242

Everybody has their mums out for sale around here.

I'm holding on to summer.  It's not fall yet!

Day 241

This is the bandstand in our downtown park.  I've loved it since I was a little girl.  I still do.

Day 240

It's poppa and his crazy posse.  Hard to believe that this is the best shot of the day.  I guess it's a work in progress.

Day 239

My new favorite mantra.

We Polish people are pretty smart!

Day 238

He cracks me up!  He said the bubble wand was his light saber.

Day 237

They got up that sand dune so much faster than grammy.

Day 236

There were some very cool looking clouds last night.

Day 235

This picture just makes me happy.  Maybe it's the lemon yellow color.  I'm not sure, but it just makes me happy.

Day 234

Lizzy loves playing with bubbles.

Day 233

The ligularia are blooming.

Day 232

It was about this time that we decided it was time to walk back to the truck.  It actually got blacker, but the camera battery died.  I do love all the colors in the water though.

Day 231

What is wrong with this picture?

Might it be that on August 19th, these kids should be floating in the pool instead of pretending to be floating in the pool in the back of poppa's truck?  This sure wasn't a pool summer. 

Day 230

The kids were playing with bubbles yesterday.  I happened to catch this one as it blew into the pole barn.  Kind of cool with the colors and reflections in it.

Day 229

I am blessed to have some very special people in my life.

This just happens to be two of the best!  I love you guys!!

Day 228

The goggles are as big as her head, but she loves them.

Day 227

I love the beach.  Even when you can't really see the sunset.

Day 226

Isn't this the cutest little chapel ever?  I see it every day on my walk.  It's adorable.

Day 225

I was just going through some files and found this cool shot from a trip to Meijer Garden in April for the tropical butterfly exhibit.

Day 224

I love cone flowers.

Day 223

Look what I found last night!  I didn't think I was going to see it because of the cloud cover, but it cleared for just a little bit.  Isn't it amazing what a difference a tripod makes in a picture?

Day 222

We only got to see the sun actually going down for a few minutes, but it was sure pretty.  I swear I heard it sizzle.

Day 221

The sunset at the lake wasn't spectacular, but the cloud colors and reflections afterward were beautiful.  I love the beach!

Day 220

Jack loves the pool just as much as his sisters.

 

Day 219

Wishing I was back here.

Day 218

I'm not sure what these are, but I think they are pretty.

Day 217

I love how delicate Queen Anne's lace is.

Day 216

I love everything about this picture.

Day 215

We made a new friend on our walk at Coffee Creek.

Day 214

I love the reflections in the water, especially the boat. 

It kind of reminds me of a banana peel.

Day 213

I could handle a house like this on a lake.  Can you see how cute the border is around the landscaping?  It's plates!
