This is my first successful photo of the moon! Usually it’s overexposed, out of focus, or too small to show detail. I only wish I had a telephoto lens or a way to attach my camera to a telescope to capture even more detail.

One of my hanging baskets is silhouetted against a beautiful September sunset.

Sometimes I really enjoy looking back at photos I’ve taken, even just a year ago. It’s crazy how you may get a really good photo, but you don’t post it or print it, so it completely slips your mind. I took this one in Southeast Kansas last September.

With college football starting up this weekend, I couldn’t help but think of my Alma Mater, the Pitt State Gorillas! I took this photo at the Kansas City zoo last year.

A delicate lavender bloom at our house … any takers on what kind of plant this is?
(By the way, the answer to Wednesday’s photo is Sheltie puppies!)

We stayed at my in-laws this weekend in Southeast Kansas. As I stumbled my way downstairs, still half asleep around 7 a.m., I saw this out the front door. I immediately grabbed my camera and headed outside, barefoot and in my pj’s. My in-laws weren’t the least bit surprised when I came back in with wet grass clippings caked to my feet. They sure do know me! This photo is dedicated to my mother-in-law – today is her birthday!

A purple wildflower on our walk the other evening.

To answer yesterday’s question, the photo was taken at Glacier National Park. Here’s another one of my favorite photos of GNP – bear grass along the Grinnell Glacier hike. See my blog post about our Glacier National Park vacation last year.
Sometimes leaves can be just as pretty as blooms, especially when the sun hits them just right and they’re covered in water droplets. I have to say though, I’m looking forward to this lily blooming.
