Two images I captured today

I found these cute little yellow flowers growing on the end of an ugly weed, along our sidewalk. I guess when you allow the weeds to grow, you realize that even the ugly weeds have their own prettiness. 

 

Watermelon Time

Now watermelon time is here.
And when the day 
Is warm and clear,
Our uncle thumps 
The green balloon
And says it's ripe
And very soon
A splash of pink 
Comes into view.
We know exactly 
What to do.
We take a bit.
We take a bite.
We eat and eat 
And taste the summer,
Pink and sweet.

A New Thing

Happy Valentine's Day

Someplace

I took this photo this morning while visiting a potential wedding spot for my sister who is getting married next year. While editing photos, I was reminded of this quote, by Yogi Berra a famous baseball catcher.
I think it's a good reminder for all of us. :)

Happy Independence Day!

Went up in a hot air balloon the other day. :) Spectacular experience! This barn was so cool painted with the Stars and Stripes on the top and the Texas flag on the end. :)
I did a little tilt-shift edit using http://tiltshiftmaker.com/. I need to do some photoshop research and find out how to generate my own tilt-shift look. :)

This is my "Independence" photo submission in the July Epiphanie Camera Bags photo contest!
