And the Winner of Feet Series, pt 1 is...

Photo #3!



It was great fun photographing this little girl throughout the night because she was so enthralled with her own outfit. She would watch the tips of her boots as she walked on her heels. She ran from here to there and back again swishing her skirt around her ankles. My favorite was when she would walk deliberately from heel-to-toe, as if in an effort to get the loudest sound from her boots. Quite a character she was!

(Thanks for taking the time to look and vote! The results come from a combination of votes from my two blogs, "I Am Micalanne" and "Mom, I'm Hungry".)

Feet Series, pt 1

The other day, I took my son to the End-of-the-Year Bash at his school. As he ran around with his friends, I people-watched; and took pictures of their feet. Yes, their feet. This began my year-long quest for pictures that will become my first series of feet.

Out of 292 shots, I have narrowed it down to about 16 favorites. The following are some of my favorites and, because I'm curious, I would like to know which of these are Your favorites. Don't be shy and leave me a comment. I will post the results on Friday, June 19th.



















Oh, and I would love to hear if you happen to come up with any fun captions!

Not the Usual "June Gloom"

Yesterday morning we awoke to a dark cloudy sky. It is not unusual for us to have a bit of overcast weather in June; however, the grayness we were experiencing came from clouds like I have never seen before. They looked similar to quilt batting and, at times, moved like the waves on a stormy sea.


As the day progressed, the gray turned to black causing the relentless clap of thunder, strike of lightning, and...


...Fire! Miraculously, and in an instant, buckets of rain dropped over our valley; then ceased just as quickly.


Because I was safe in the comfort of my home, this storm was entertaining. It afforded me time away from the workload of the house, garden, and chickens. I enjoyed its distraction. In time, the storms fury relinquished itself and the sun began to shine again.




As always, Nature's Show never disappoints.

Who Ya Gonna Call?

If you've got a dead one of these, all you have to do is call...
