I got out and used my camera today...

Love the pictures Dave.

The blueberries remind that I need to defrost some and make lemon/blueberry bread.

A Soleri windchime - long story short: an eccentric architect/artist builds a spaceship looking compound in rural Scottsdale (now the hoity toitiest part of the metro Phoenix area) decades ago...FF to today and it's still a working studio open to the public, but dead center in a neighborhood of million dollar mansions. I think every few years the locals try to buy it out - the caretakers just laugh. An awesome place to go and just hang and share the peaceful karma:

We were in Scottsdale back in the 70's.

My aunt and uncle never took us to see that Soleri windchime.

I didn't actually take these today. In fact, the large one was taken by my daughter via my coaching from 2500 miles away. What I did do today (finished, at least) was make the frames for them for said daughter. I prefer more exotic woods and finishes but she loves the rustic look. Mixing two hobbies is somehow more than twice as satisfying as either one by itself!

I may have to do some of these for our home...

My last downloads taken at the Pan Am games here in Toronto recently. This is my girlfriend running with the torch, the closing ceremony and the now iconic Toronto sign.

This is my first time posting in a long while, C.C., or my computer, won't allow me to post pics, no matter which method I try. Now using Tapatalk so fingers crossed.....

Hmm, they didn't post very clear. I'll have to keep trying.

Pierces, those frames are lovely and the pics are so adorable. Great job on both.

The picture with the hearts is my favorite.

From the family gathering over the weekend.

DW made our son's wedding cake. Beautiful. We were in the process of selling our house, and there were a couple of showings the day before the wedding. Someone thought it would be a good idea to check if the cake was real.:eek: I would have taken pictures, but was afraid DW would hurt me.

Photographers brave all kinds of dangers in the quest for unique and timely shots. That said, I commend you for your prudence...and subsequent survival!

Now that is my kind of cake.

We always have the dark chocolate M&M's in our house.

Thank you! Me too!

We always put up 2 hummingbird feeders.

This year we had 3 families and they had 2 sets of babies.

The first family and their babies left a couple of weeks ago. The second family left right before Labor Day. We still have 2 family with their 2 newest babies.

There were a lot of wars this year over the feeders.

Great pictures of the egrets.
