Good Sunday morning all.
Wonderful image this weekend and thank you all for sharing.
Natalie, I took a photo of a zucchini blossom, the first one to bloom in my garden this year. Unfortunately, there were no other blossoms so that that bloom could be fertilized. they are pretty blooms and look very much like your beauty but much bigger. Of course, I am sure you know that.
Natalie, I have been taking my cukes and slicing them into chunks and adding chopped tomatoes, olive oil, and a little garlic salt to make a really refreshing salad. I can't wait till I get the tomatoes fresh from the garden.
Hey, Peter.
Patty, When in Florida, sometimes there are bands of crows and they drive me crazy with the screaming. I like how you got of a photo of the Hawk with its mouth wide open screaming its head off. They is a good shot considering the distance and atmospheric interference, and of course, he was screaming so he wasn't perfectly still.
Dave, I am going to follow your lead (in a way). I love your dimly lit succulent. The lighting adds mood to your shot which is expertly cropped. It is the red outline of each well-focused petal that makes it striking. Of course, the red and green combination adds a lot to the color composition. It is a winner, Dave.
Rich, I would have enjoyed the BIG BAND concert. It looked like a nice crowd but those bleachers must be quite uncomfortable seeing that people brought their comfortable lounge chairs to sit in. I probably would have done the same. It has to be fun to have so many events that you give you opportunities almost every weekend to take photographs. And we really enjoy them.
Yesterday I attended a memorial for a very close friend of mine. There were 240 people in attendance! The venue was at a beautiful historic golf course, Indianwood about 30 miles north of Detroit. The program included speeches given by friends and family. Great touching and funny stories were told as the gal lived life to the max and was such a fun, friendly and loving person. The program ended with an emotional finale when were directed to go outside on the patio overlooking the 18th green. From below the rolling hills that lead up to the green appeared two bagpipers that walked up the hills playing AMAZING GRACE. And when they were finished playing two additional tunes, they turned around walking down the hills until they disappeared from where they came. That put many of us over the edge.
I made a rather large cake for the event, it was my friend's favorite flavor, Chocolate with chocolate icing. It was not enough to feed 240 but the kitchen sliced it perfectly into thin slices (it is a rich cake) and I was amazed at how many plates of cake they brought out.
After baking, decorating and the emotional event yesterday, I am taking the day off but not before I post this beautiful Candy Apple Red Packard.
Enjoy your day and call a friend this week and tell them how much they mean to you.
You know I feel that way about all of you , my FF friends.
Blessings to all,
