Festival of Leaves: Spotty Color (Week 6)

I almost missed this week’s prompt for Festival of Leaves! I was immediately reminded of this photo that I took last week for exactly that reason: the color on the tree behind the tall yellow one was spotty! Some leaves were still green, but most had turned various shades of orange or red. Here are […]

Thursday Halloween Doors

Halloween just passed, and I had fun walking around the neighborhood looking at and photographing people’s Halloween decorations. For this week’s Norm’s Thursday Doors, here are some Des Plaines doors decorated for Halloween. The door of this blue house doesn’t have much but I really like the spider web and the nasty-looking troll-angel on the […]

FOTD: Fall Foliage Arrangement

One of my neighbors always puts out a pretty arrangement of autumn leaves, plants, etc. Here is what she did this year. Posted for Cee’s FOTD, 10/27/18.

FOTD: Red Roses

I walked to the bank the other day and saw these red roses still blooming beautifully, in spite of the colder than normal weather we’ve had this October! Posted for Cee’s FOTD 10/20/18. This song “Roses” expresses so well the angst of young (unrequited?) love.

FOTD: Pink Roses

Becky’s “In the Pink!” is over, but here are some pretty pink roses, for Cee’s Flower of the Day, 10/3/18. Check out the beauties on her site!

FOTD and In the Pink: Hibiscus Bud

FOTD: Petunias

Here is my entry for Cee’s Flower of the Day, 9/26/18. Click on this link for Cee’s and others’ beautiful flowers! I took this photo at the Buddhist Temple of Des Plaines.

FOTD & In the Pink

Here is my entry for Cee’s Flower of the Day 9/25/18 and Becky’s September Month of Squares.

Month of Squares: Working Truck

For Becky’s Month of Squares: In the Pink, here is a rusted,well-used truck, parked on a street near where I live. It obviously has seen better days – but hey, it still runs okay! – and maybe it was pinker when it was new! 🙂

CFFC: Vibrant Seasons

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge has a series about colors. This week is vibrant colors. Every season of the year has its vibrancy. Autumn, of course, offers the most striking display of vibrant reds, oranges and yellows. Winter has its own vibrancy: the bright lights and colors of Christmas and the sun shining on fresh fallen […]
