1. I’ve enjoyed watching the skies change from ‘drizzily grey’ in the morning to pretty blues with wispy clouds drifting by in the afternoon … and capturing views with my camera to share here today and at Sacred Ruminations yesterday.






2. My struggling Endless Summer Hydrangea remains small but is finally producing some lovely pink blossoms … and I’ve enjoyed creating and experimenting with filters on this mosaic … the first is straight out of the camera, in the middle is Paint Daubs (with the mosaic flipped horizontally) and at the bottom I used the Watercolor filter.



3. After enjoying and sharing photos of African Lily blossoms from around my neighborhood a couple of week ago, I was delighted to discover two buds on my own potted African Lily … and photographed them over the three day period they lasted.



4. With tendonitis in my elbow, it’s been quite some time since I’ve been able to toss a toy for Molly to fetch … but this past week my elbow felt better and we played several days. I love trying to capture her catching the toy in the air and returning it joyfully (with her ears flying) … just for the JOY of it!




5. I enjoyed a tasty breakfast at Mimi’s Cafe on a drizzily Wednesday morning this week and took these photos for Window Views & Weekend Reflections.


Thought for Today
“Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Oh we did miss you this week. I am sorry about the deadline…the new linky tool makes me have an open and close time. Before I used to leave them open endlessly.
I do love Mimi’s Cafe. It is so colorful. And Molly is having fun too!

Very nice photographs. The cafe looks delightful, so bright on a rainy day. Glad you were able to throw the toy for your dog again. I’m sure he was very happy. Have a great week.

The african lilies are stunning. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that kind before. Love the sky pictures. Your skies always seem so blue with those puffs of clouds drifting by.

I loved all of your posts – so much life and colour in your world. I’m glad your elbow is feeling better – it’s miserable when something keeps on hurting.

Beautiful post. Your participation in the meme world is valuable with reflective sharing of positive thoughts. Molly looks very athletic. And your garden is beautifully tended and formal with lots of variety of flowers all year round. Happy day to you.
