Three lawn Chairs

I was getting ready to take the group photo for our reunion this past weekend, so I set up these chairs for a few of the people to sit in.  They're kind of cool.

Not a world class photo, but the moms of the little kids don't want photos of their kids on social media, so I thought these chairs might be an option for a photo for today.

Butterfly on Wall

In Anson, TX, there's a decorated alleyway that has murals on each wall and picnic tables and benches for sitting a spell.  The walls have some great artwork and this butterfly decorates one of the corners.

Ice Cream Shop

I met my daughter, sil and grandkids met at this cute ice cream shop in their little town this afternoon.  I got there before they did and was sitting with my camera looking for photo ops when I noticed this cute little scene right outside the shop.  

I love the pink and aqua colors together.

My heart is grateful:

for the cooler fall weather

the great country we live in

Artwork at the Bank

I was in my bank the other day in a room by myself trying to reconcile a my account when I noticed this artwork on the wall.  Throughout the bank lobby there were various piecers of artwork created by local artists. 

I don't really like abstract art, but for some reason this one appealed to me.

Overhead door and Fire Escape

This location is one of my favorites for photographing senior graduates.  Depending on what time of day it is, it's the perfect spot for urban photos.  I love the graphic look of this location.

My heart is grateful that:

My town has so many good photo spots to choose from

Plant Decor

This plant was seen on an outside table on the patio of a restaurant in Dunedin, Florida.  The restaurant was closed the day we saw this scene, but I thought it was the perfect piece of decor for an outdoor space.

My heart is grateful for:

the food in my pantry and refrigerator

Colored Overhead Door

Walking around the small Florida town of Dunedin, we saw an eatery that had some outside seating and this overhead door that is painted these beautiful colors.  The business was closed the day we saw it, so maybe during open hours this door is open to the inside of the restaurant,

In any case, I just think the colors are so pretty and I deliberately tilted the frame to get the stripes on a diagonal.

Today I'm grateful for:

having the eyes to see beauty everywhere
