Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is to post Man-Made Items.
Humans have been creating and building things for thousands of years. Some are monumental and awe-inspiring, some are fun or functional, and some are ugly. Everywhere people go, they leave behind something, carelessly or with a purpose.

1. Which of the following could you do without? TV, Computer, Mobile Phone.
TV, I guess. I would miss PBS! My son has no TV and he streams everything. Maybe he could teach me!
2. Do you have a lot of old photographs in a box, or did you put them in albums?
I do have some photos in a box, but at least they are all sorted and labeled. I have also put a lot of my photos in albums. I was into the scrapbooking craze for awhile – it’s amazing how much time I took (and money I spent!) to add little embellishments and create fancy backgrounds. It’s a lot easier now, because I do it on Shutterfly, since all my photos are now digital (and I can scan the ones that aren’t, which are mainly ones other people have given me). I don’t like to just keep all my photos on my computer, or on flashdrives or whatever. Then if I look at them later, I won’t remember what’s in the photos. I like to remember my trips and I enjoy making and looking at my albums (especially in the depths of winter) and showing them to others. There are many trips I haven’t made into albums, but at least I try to have a journal so I know what the photos are about.
If my kids or grandkids want to throw away my albums after I’m dead, so be it! I will die believing they will cherish them as keepsakes, as well as all my writing!
3. What was the first thing you bought for yourself when you started work?
OMG, that was so long ago, I have no idea! Probably clothes.
4. What is the biggest thing you have bought that did not require finance?
My husband’s car – we didn’t need to finance because at the time we happened to have the money from selling a property, and we also got something of a rebate from his trade-in. It was great not to have monthly car payments, at least until I bought a new car a year later…
GRATITUDE.
Yesterday, for Cee’s FOTD, I posted the most amazing dahlia, called “Mystic Illusion” which I photographed while at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. Here are dahlias from that same patch, from the back. They don’t even look real!
Note: I had scheduled this to publish two days ago, on Aug. 26. I don’t know why it didn’t. Sorry it’s two days late!
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is photos that have basically two colors.
I have a whole lot of beautiful new flower pics, after my visit on Monday to Chicago Botanic Gardens – yay!
This is one I found unique and very striking: “Mystic Illusion” Dahlia.
Cee has a fantastic sunflower bud for her Flower of the Day, 8/25/22!
