SHIMMER

I liked the way the light "shimmered" off this bike at the park.

PASSAGE

OFFICE

An office at the Historic Fort Verde in Arizona.

APPLE

Fresh on the tree in Julian!

I shot these daisies in Big Bear, CA while on vacation. I love the water droplets on them!

BAG

I especially like this bag because it came with a very fancy spoon I received as a gift.

PURPLE

SWEET

POINT

ENTER

My son's dog, Shelby, coming in from her morning sun.

GATE

"B" - Birdhouse

"S" - Soap

Today's word of the day ended up being our choice - as long as it started with the letter "S". I chose a picture of the side of the "Soap Factory".

CHEW

LEAVES

RUST

HOLD

Not sure if this counts or not, but I figured I would use the collection plate "holding" the offering.

SWING

This is a cheat. It's a photo of my niece taken back in February. (I don't get to see her very much, but I couldn't resist using this photo for today's prompt.)

PIPE

KNOT

SNIFF

My hunting dog, Roscoe!

POUR

WAVE

My darling hubby overfilled the pool (he turned the water on and forgot and went to bed) so he decided that first thing in the morning the best way to get the water out of the pool was with a couple of canyon balls!

WEATHERED

I am actually posting the photo of the day! This is a house in the ghost town of Bodie. (EVERYTHING here is weathered.)

SLICE

DUCK

BEAST -- "Wildebeest"

Today's word was "beast" -- I of course went for Wildebeest - this guy was so cute - we saw him on Safari in Africa - he was wonderful at posing.

DOC

A shot (no pun intended!) of my insulin pen.

RACE

My husband & his friend at the track.

REMEMBER

I couldn't decide which photo to use, so today you get two. These are from my trip to New York (5/07) - and this is the site of the World Trade Center. It's so emotionally overwhelming when you're there. Where these two magnificent buildings once stood there's just this hole in the ground where they're finally starting to rebuild. Just to the side of this is a Fire Station. This wall-long plaque is mounted on the side. Here's a shot of the towers on fire and the firemen working and it reads "May We Never Forget". **I think you can see it bigger/better if you click on the image.** Sorry about the sadness of today's post - will do happier tomorrow!
