somewhere in Tennessee last Monday.  No, I was not the driver!   Water droplets cover the windshield as we make our way through the foggy mountains.  my favorite driving conditions.  NOT!


FAITHFULNESS

2 lifetime friends love to curl up next to each other in a sun puddle.


THEN AND NOW

The rock is ancient, has been around for a lot of "thens."  The colored and crispy-brown leaves are new.


FINGERTIPS

This praying mantis was crawling on my front door, no doubt enjoying the warm sunshine.  Not fingertips in the human sense, yet performing some of the same functions.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

mosaic

a Freedom Trail Mosaic mounted on the outside of a building in Over the Rhine, Cincinnati.  This was taken about a month ago while on an American Legacy Tour called Queen City Underground.

says my friend Carol Rucker:   "My women jewelry students and I created this mosaic as part of the Over the Rhine Freedom Trail project a few years ago. We created individual copper enameled hands, angels and other details, and used tile cutters to cut each piece of tile to fit our design. We collaborated on the design and learned basic mosaic techniques from local artist, Suzanne Fisher to complete it. The design depicts women entering the Sarah Center women's ministry, then exiting as angels."

Echinacea blooming in my garden.  The pink petals and orange center vibrate against green leaves.

This is a very fun meme hostessed by Ashley Sisk in which 5 prompts are given and one must then take a photo to illustrate each one.  Come see how others have interpreted these words HERE!  Ashley just had a baby girl, so Sarah Halstead of The Naptime Momtog is hosting for now.  You have till Tuesday, July 10 at midnight EST to join in.


PS:  I've discovered there are various blogs hosting linky parties for fireworks--or patriotic themes, or summer fun.  Here are the ones I've linked with:
