Watching the Rodeo

This young guy was sitting two seats away from me at the rodeo, looking at the arena and waiting for an event to begin.  I don't usually get images like this, but I did that night and I love it.

It's Mother's Day Sunday, so HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all you moms out there.  

I hope your day was blessed.

Kids on a Trampoline

I have permission to post this image.  I saw these 4 littles playing on the trampoline and I asked them to stand in a line and jump when I gave the signal.  The littlest one kept landing on her bottom as the others were jumping.  She didn't seem too upset, and the others were having great fun showing off for me and my camera.

Businessman on Overpass

It was another beautiful day~~up to 55 degrees.  I went to the Y again this morning and was exhausted when I got home.  I thought I'd just hang out in the house, but after resting I decided I needed to get out and enjoy the weather.

I went to town, yet again.  As I walked past this overpass that goes from one office building to another across a street, I saw this man walking and quickly composed to get this image.  

Not the best image, but I like it.

Quilting Mural

This is a section of a beautiful mural seen on the side of a building in downtown Fairbanks, Alaska.  Once upon a time the building contained That Old Sew & Sew, a fabric/quilt shop, but it has been closed for a couple of years.

The mural was created by Zoe Rabjohns who currently lives in Fairbanks and owns the 

Hello Sunshine Tattoo Parlor. 

She can be found online if you'd be interested in seeing more of her work.

My heart is grateful for:

artwork in all forms that beautifies our towns & cities

Graham-Cracker-House building underway

This is just a small group of the teens who were at the house-building event last night.  They were so creative.  

My heart is grateful that:

I found a few books at an estate sale today that I'll totally enjoy:

Anne Tyler and John Grisham

Chess Players

The minute I walked into my fave coffee shop I saw these two guys playing chess. While I was waiting for my drink to be ready I asked them if I could take a pic of them and they readily agreed.  

I've never seen them there before but I don't usually go there in the early evening.

I'm grateful for:

seeing friends enjoying each other's company while doing something together that they enjoy

The New Chess Set

My friend just received this new chess set and he was setting it up to take some photos of it.  Of course I offered to make a few images of him with the board. 

I only had my cell phone with me, but I think it did an admirable job of capturing the board and my friend.
