Day 236: No Trains today

I've been wanting to shoot this bridge forever.  This is over the Brazos River in Waco and I while traveling from Dallas to San Antonio I was able to get the shot, thanks to my mother.  YEA MOM!

Day 235: A tribute

Today was a hard day.  My husband lost his mother Friday evening and she was laid to rest today.  I didn't have the heart or desire to take a picture today, so this is from a few days back.  It is my tribute to Betsy, although I suspect she would have preferred something more colorful.  She was a special woman who raised three wonderful children & loved her grandchildren beyond comprehension.  

Day 234: Just the fax

I'm the opposite of most people I'm home Monday through Friday with the kids & I work Saturday & Sunday.  So basically I think all you people living for the weekends are nuts. Today was a work day for me......

Day 233: Ticket booth

I wanted to go on a trip, but there were no trains today.

Day 232: Schoolhouse

Day 231: Light Rail

Today is Thursday - we know what that means.  THEME THURSDAY.  Today's theme:  Motion.

Day 230: Everybody deserves a break

Right?  I personally would take it in a break room, with air conditioning, or at least find a shady spot.   Or maybe it was a really important text message.

Day 229: The power of the crop tool

After the crop, this was by far the best photo of the day.  Its amazing how one little thing can make a huge difference in a photo.

Day 228: A lighted trail

It was on this walk - and it wasn't a very far walk - that I was exposed to the horrors that might be poison ivy.  I noticed when I went under the underpass that there were spotlights all over the ground.  I was surprised to find that there were tiny holes (about 1 inch) in the pavement above to let the light through.  I loved the way the lights made tiny little spotlights.

Day 227: On a ferry

I'm going to be totally honest - I did not take this on Sunday.   I did not even take this recently (this was taken on a ferry in New Zealand), but this is how I feel.  Cloudy, misty, unclear and off in the distance.  I'm definitely on the road to recovery.  This has been an interesting ride.  I have fluid & some calcification in the tendons in my neck.  VERY UNCOMFORTABLE and all the medications are making me feel, well lost in a fog.  I didn't really have the energy to get out and hunt a photo so I pulled from my stores.  I hope you will forgive the cheat.

Day 226: Clouds

Day 225: Sunflower

Not my favorite picture, but nothing says summer more than a big giant sunflower.  And in Texas - it is ridiculously hot already.

Day 224: Time for Summer

Theme Thursday is about Time, today was the boy's last day of school so it is time to usher in SUMMER.  YEA.  Here is H2 enjoying a popsicle at his end of the year party.

Day 223: The haunted house

At least that's what the 7 year old photo genius H2 said when he edited this.

Day 222: Get Well Soon

A beautiful get well soon bouquet from my work family.
