And the wind certainly doesn’t help, although I feel as if this could be a creature from a Dr. Seuss book.
Six-Word Saturday is hosted by Debbie at Travel with Intent and a number of us contribute our two cents worth (or six words and a photo) each week.
How can it already by the third Monday of March? It’s truly March Madness* and not the basketball sort! However, the third Monday means it time to go retro with a black and white photo and here’s my choice for this week. I hope you enjoy it.
This may be my last post for a while, as I head for California tomorrow morning for a visit with our older daughter. A short trip to Yosemite is in the plans, weather willing, and I’m taking my Nikon as well as my iPhone. I’m quite sure you’ll see some of whatever I see during the trip at some time in the not-to-distant future. 🙂 I’m very excited about that trip, as I haven’t been to Yosemite since I was a child, more than a few years ago, and I’ve never been there at this time of year.
Until then, keep well. I’ll miss you! (I’ll respond to any comments, just not post or read other posts.)
*For those of you not from the US, March Madness is what they call the men’s college basketball tournament that determines the national champion. It runs for a good part of March all over the US.
As Christmas week begins and the first of our two daughters arrives home tomorrow, I’ll be taking it a bit easier with blogging, although I’ll still be putting out a post every day. Just can’t seem to shake that habit. It will be family time for the next week or so and I’m looking forward to that, as I hope many of you are as well. So today, I’m featuring a macro shot from a croton plant that badly needs repotting! Spellcheck wants me to call it a crouton, but I won’t do it! I think it sounds more like something from a sci-fi movie.
Sometimes the beautiful things you see in nature hide something not so nice. In the summer, this branch will be filled with leaves. But hidden among the leaves are the sharp thorns, easily seen in winter and still visible in this shot, guaranteed to snag your clothing or skin if you get too close.
Time for another nomination. Karen, at bythebriny in glorious British Columbia, Canada, takes spectacular nature photos. Karen, if you’re up for it, I’d love to have you participate in the challenge (as it’s what you do anyway.) Be sure to check out her blog and photos. You’ll be glad you did.
‘Twas the week before Christmas
and all ‘round the world,
photographers waited,
their heads in a whirl.
Their photos were filed,
their fingers prepared,
Awaiting the theme
That soon would be there.
And this week’s theme is…..Yellow! This yellow is from one of the beautiful blossoms I got when trying to grow, as I recall, squash. Alas, the beauty was all I got, as eventually everything withered and died. It was, however, glorious while it lasted!
