| from a yard in our neighborhood |
Let's start with some photos, shall we? (I love photography)

| beginning to look like fall in our tree, always the first to color |
The above blossom was at the community garden, it's new every week seems like

 |
| one of my roses |
the temps were a bit more moderate but the humidity was higher than I've ever known it to be in Colorado
making morning walks uncomfortable in the intense sunshine but, I LIKE to walk and be outside. Come with me won't you? another neighbor has a gorgeous floral covered yard, and this is not a bouquet....
It's one stem of flowers!!! My roses are pathetic. Small, pale, few petals ...

I make note of anything in that month's color as I go on walks....
speaking of birds, we came out for a walk, looked to the left at the street light post and I saw a bird on it
 |
| Okay, kind of cool like a finial |
 |
| saw a t-shirt with this on it ... |
This is the most vegetables I've ever gotten and there are little green bits still on the plant.... they are small but no less amazing to make it this far. Two plants, in two big pots, watering twice daily through the extreme heat and sun here making these the most expensive tomatoes anywhere!
 |
| I see a face on this one, do you? from minerals in our water |
Time to show images from my daily walks starting with the delicate color on ...

| blue skies over the driving range |
it's summer y'all... in case the 100 F. temps didn't convey that.... Summer in Colorado is hot hot hot.
 |
| the fields are full of wild growth creating vistas |
we are at a higher altitude than Denver even, and the sun takes full advantage of thin altitude.
 |
| the lawn ornaments might melt |
 |
| some might have given up! |
 |
| legs may appear larger than in real life! |
 |
| pretty poppies in our yard |
we walk daily and live on a golf course, 650 homes on and around the course, so our walks often take us past views like this of the creek with ducks, or geese on the putting green
 |
| the same creek in morning light |
I've been walking a lot, early morning, and late afternoons, to strengthen my back, I saw this lovely lavender along the way
 |
| shared this project last Saturday... hand sewn hexies |
yep I'm wearing socks with sandals, because something in the grass caused toe infections for me here
 |

| Helloooooo auntie LeeAnna! |
I started with another neighborhood lawn ornament... cute red truck with strong sun lighting it
We walk a lot and I enjoy seeing lawn ornaments and pretty flower displays. Our rose bush is adjusting to life in our yard, no blooms yet but they might be these colors...
this yard had 5 of them, orange, yellow, coral, sunset, pink
 |
| Hiya! can you see me? I'm a little happy gnome behind the fence |
 |
| I'm a yard bunny not an ornament!!! |
I came out this week, to paint my nails and startled the yard bunny who leapt off the patio, then stopped to see if I'd go away. Since I continued to paint my nails, he sat, then laid ...

Anyway, I love the way it looks against the stone, the beautiful plants/flower baskets and the bench next to it all on the front porch of this house. The house next door has a kokopelli tucked into a tree stump
I enjoy walking and looking at what each person adds to their yards.
I notice things such as the roof on this house turret is the exact same shade as their shiny VW bug
which was charming in the ...

Our housing development is very large, but on the edge of it are some farmettes and on this day I was drawn to the donkeys

| almond thumbprint cookies with raspberry, and a pear crumble |
The mixed media workshop online (free) on Willowing.com which has inspired me to paint... the image above is a thumbnail close up of the whole picture done one morning while waking up. The full photo will be on my creativity round up post Saturday (with others)
I try to live a creative life, and being in that mind space provides me calm, peace, and excitement.
Just LOVE Burt Bacharach's music, always will, enjoy it here. He wrote ...

I like that artists see the world in unique ways, and are driven to interpret it
