Stuffed Moose

My friend and I traveled to a very small town called Olden.  There was an abandoned school building there and in one of the lower level windows this little stuffed moose was staring out at us.

Aqua Artwork

The bridge going from the north side of town over the river to the south side of town has some beautiful artwork displayed.  This is one of my favorites.  I don't usually like abstract art, but I certainly like this one.

Colorful Duplos

I went to the library with the grandkids again today and saw these duplos on a table and thought they looked so great.  

My kiddos had tons of these to play with and they loved them.

Wooden Flag on Fence

I made this image a while ago as I was driving down a country road.  I love the color aqua and it was the fence that first caught my eye, then I noticed the weathered wooden flag and thought the two objects made a great image.

Alleyway Artwork

I was walking around downtown Abilene this afternoon waiting for my meeting to begin.  There's an alleyway that's been recently painted with beautifully colored graphic designs.  

I made a few images, so I post this one today.

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

Aqua Door

While walking around today, I saw this pretty aqua door with the wreath.  It was late in the day so there was a lot of contrast between the shadows and the sunlight, but I love the archway of the front porch, the color of the door and the pretty welcoming wreath.

Coffee Maker

I came into the world of drinking coffee pretty late.  I had a Very Occasional cup in college because it was the cheapest item at the grill and I had very little discretionary money in those days.

I was probably in my late 20s before I started drinking coffee with any regularity and even then I preferred iced coffee.

These days I drink it every day, usually iced, even in the winter.  I use flavored creamer which satisfies my craving for sweets.  

When I first moved to be near my daughter who was just starting her family, she gave me the Nana cup. Coffee seems to taste better in a cup I like.

Planters

Another image from the plant nursery.  I think the planters are pretty and I love the decor for sale on the wall.

My heart is grateful for:

the line dancing lesson I went to today

Dream River Sculpture, Amsterdam, NY

I don't usually like abstracts, but this artwork is just beautiful and I can't resist making photos of it every time I'm in the area.  The sculptor is Dimitar Lukanov, it was created in 2019.  It's stainless steel with beautiful aqua color standing on a base of concrete and it's 32 feet tall.  

It's located on the south side of the river in Amsterdam on the Amsterdam Pedestrian Bridge.  

It would probably look great against a blue sky. Each time I've been there it's been cloudy but I still think it looks beautiful.

My heart is grateful for:

everyone having a unique vision for art and beauty

Three Blankets

Three ladies in my church are having babies within a month of each other at the beginning of the year.  I decided to crochet blankets for them and I wanted to be done with them so I wouldn't be scurrying around at the last minute to finish them.

There will be two girls and one boy.  

These are fun to make, but three right in a row....I'm glad to be done with them.

My heart is grateful for:

new life

Aqua Keurig

This machine belongs to my roommate who will be moving out in a few weeks.  I LOVE this color even though it doesn't match anything in the kitchen.  

I'll have to get my own machine when she moves out.  The other appliances are black & silver, so I guess I'll get a Keurig that matches them.

My heart is grateful for: 

choices~~for whatever...

Fence

I drove a new route on the way home today and found a beautiful Catholic Church (photo tomorrow) that had this great, unique fence around some of the property.  

I'm grateful today for:

new sights and experiences

Under the Pier

I made this image many years ago and just rediscovered it in my files.  It's a pier on the east side of Oahu, Hawaii.

How I love the ocean and miss Hawaii.

My heart is grateful for:

the opportunities I've had to travel
