Focus on Life - Week 36 - In Two

Two, a pair.  Two flowers, some seeds, a pair of eyes, mother and daughter and 2 shadows.






I love this picture of my daughter and I.  It was taken in autumn 2001.  My first fall in Alaska and the happiest time of my life.

There are pairs of two everywhere.  This was a fun prompt.  Have fun looking around everyone, see you next week.

Weeks 34 & 35

Missing in action last week for the "Add Something" prompt so here is what I like to do when I'm bored in the evenings.


The pink Dahlia's are actually some of mine growing in a pot on the back steps.  I found the rest of the images on google and just played around.


And this one I did basically the same, using one of my flowers that I altered in a program called Pixlr.  It's my favorite altering app ever.

And a couple more of my flowers that I altered in Pixlr.  Same photo, different overlays. 







I waste a lot of time playing with this app in the evenings.  It's better than TV!

Week 35 Growth and Change.

Since living alone for 5 years and being totally dependent on myself for everything, I've grown immensely.  I'm self-sufficient, solving problems and learning how to cope with everything myself.  I'm stronger and more aware of everything.  I know I've changed from the person I was 10 years ago into a strong secure seasoned woman.  And I kinda like that.  So I'm going to post a picture of me.  :) 


I've grown and changed.
I am woman and I am strong.

Focus on Life Week 33 - In Season

I live in the middle of corn country and we have corn coming out of our ears, literally.
Sorry for the pun, lol.
Corn earns, get it??  Ears of corn?  :)

A drive down main street in my small town reveals no less than 3 sweet corn stands.  Most are unmanned, poeple go by the honor system here.  This morning there is a small farmers market and there will be a dozen or more vendors there with lovely produce. 



 
 
 
We've enjoyed a nice cool August but the heat and humidity return this week.  The corn loves this kind of weather, I HATE it.  I'm looking forward to autumn, where I can wear toasty sweaters and scarves and leather boots once again.  And take my yearly trek out to the pumpkin patch.
 
Have a good week wherever you are!
