Day 207 – The pear tree is bearing fruit. I just hope we get to the pears before the bees do. Last year we lost the entire crop to some very hungry wasps.
Bearing Fruit
Peter Rabbit
Day 206 – When our son was very young we read to him every night. Some of his favorite stories came from a collection of Beatrix Potter stories – Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Benjamin Bunny, Ginger and Pickles.
Singing Ice Cream Man
Day 205 – The last day of school marks the start of summer vacation. And what’s better in summer than the sounds of the ice cream truck (or cart)? This ice cream vendor walks the neighborhood near the school ringing his bells and singing. The kids usually aren’t too far behind.
Fences
Day 204 – “The fence that makes good neighbors needs a gate to make good friends” – Anon.
September to June
Day 203 – Another school year comes to an end. What a fantastic year it’s been!
Ambassador in Blue
Day 202 – Since we are still talking about what a great time we had at the air show yesterday, I thought I would post another photo. I have also uploaded some other photos to www.fineartamerica. Click on the link on the right and it will take you to my page.
Rockford Air Fest 2012
Day 201 – We went to the Air Show today. It was thrilling. I really had a difficult time picking my favorite photo from today. There were so many amazing aerial displays! Photos can’t do these planes and pilots justice. You have to see them in person, to hear the roar of the engines as they fly by. The fighter planes in this photo are part of the Thunderbirds.
At the Zoo
Day 200 – We just watched “We Bought A Zoo” so I thought I would post a photo that I recently took during our trip to Lincoln Park Zoo.
Vanessa
Day 198 – I sure hope Vanessa is okay. That’s a pretty steep drop off into the water below and that ladder looked questionable.
What Do You Do With This?
Day 197 – What do you do when you get a weird, gross, but strangely cool picture? I don’t know if I like this shot, but I do find it interesting.
