Here is my sister, Diane. She loves reading her Nook. She borrows books from the library electronically. She never runs out of things to read. |
People enjoy listening to the music and occasionally singing along. |
Kathy focuses on singing. |
The microphones are arranged just right, but there still seems to be some feedback noise. Fortunately, that was later resolved. |
There are a whole variety of rhythm instruments to be played. |
Here is a very interesting rhythm instrument. |
Nan Hoffman enjoys playing two rhythm instruments simultaneously! |
This instrument is quite amazing to see and to hear! |
Val enjoys the music and the companionship of the Riverside-Salem community. |
Suzanne focuses on the lyrics. |
Lee Tetkowski is a textile artist and a retired art teacher. She works on looms in her house and creates beautifully complicated patterns. |
Fun with friends. |
On Monday, I was back in a garden, ready to do battle with weeds!! This is a hosta that has bloomed. |
Seen in the garden. |
The roses continue to bloom. |
This is a beautiful shade of clematis. |
Another clematis. Another color. |
On Tuesday morning, I was busy at a garden along the river. I got a good view of the Grand Island bridges from the vantage point of the garden. |
As I was trying to get a good view of the bridge (and not totally succeeding), I noticed a group of bicycles! |
This is another view. |
At another garden, I planted some black eyed susans, coneflowers, and shasta daisies. |
Seen on the side of the road. A fly busily enjoying some Queen Anne’s lace. I do not have any objection to flies, as long as they stay outside. Inside the house… um… no… |
An apartment building for birds. |
Here are some views of the fishing station, located at the southern end of Grand Island. |
Frog in the garden. Nice and big. Quite patient with the photography session. Very good at posing. |
This is the back of the barn. |
This is a view of the river from River Lea. |
Father and son adventure. |
People came from various organizations to help with the project,including the Kiwanis and the Lions Club. |
You have showed us a day – or a week – in the life of America with your photography. How fitting for our upcoming national holiday. Tweeted!
I love the everyday moments you capture! The blooming roses are like heart medicine to me because they remind me of the heart-opening visualization I do, imagining a rose unfurling to full bloom in my heart space.
Your photography project sounds very interesting! What was your inspiration for taking on the challenge? I bet you captured some beautiful moments. I also love how you described your cat in this. Specks, one of my dogs, is the same. He likes to be home
I'm almost dizzy from all that activity. I also try to take photos every day, but I don't get around to editing them and posting them for a daily challenge. Tried it one year on Flickr and could only go a month. I just use my photos for blog illustration and Zazzle products. Like you, though, I do try to capture everyday activities — especially some that people rarely see or think about.
What grand adventures you do have! Thank you so much for sharing!
