365 Days of Photos – Day 69

Does this puppy look guilty?

I will not chase little bunnies.

I will not chase little bunnies.

She is guilty! She caught a baby bunny this morning….and apparently thought bringing it into the kitchen would make her moms proud? Happy?

Well it didn’t! She got chewed out…her response was to lay her head on Tina’s bag and put on her

“I am so sorry Mom” face.

“I will never chase little bunnies again.”

“I just wanted to show you what I found….I didn’t mean to break him.”

Do you think we could stay upset with her? Of course not!

365 Days of Photos – Day 68

My final West Texas photo….until we head back out there in a few weeks!

Another shot I noticed on our last trip. A line of mailboxes outside a trailer park. Yep…I notice some odd things! Imagine what its like riding with me. Oh yes I tend to drive most of the time (I have control issues) and my head is bopping back and forth….seeing this, checking out that….and sometimes I look out the front windshield!

The Color Orange!

This week’s photo challenge at The Daily Post is the color orange. As I started searching through my photos I suddenly started questioning my judgement of color. I shot this field of wildflowers last Spring. Once I start looking at the photo….my brain starts questioning my eyes….orange or red? Red or orange?

Pumpkins on the other hand are a given….definitely orange. Well, unless they are gourds….then they might be green or tan or…..well, not orange.

Halloween (an orange season) is my friend Sonya’s favorite season. She has enough Halloween shirts that she can wear a different shirt everyday of October. In this photo Sonya was doing one of the only things she enjoys more than Halloween…..singing. Her stage was inside the Vortex at the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth. When you talk (or sing) inside the Vortex, everything echoes……needless to say she had a blast!

And finally….an orange butterfly…and yes, I’m sure he’s orange!

365 Days of Photos – Day 67

We have been making frequent trips to West Texas lately. The purpose of yesterday’s trip was to deliver an electric wheelchair to Tina’s dad. There are basically two routes that we take to Brownfield and because of this we have become very familiar with each town we pass through. During our last trip (a few weeks ago) I noticed this abandoned store. We didn’t have time to stop so I made a mental note. As we headed West on I 20, early yesterday morning, the store made it on my list of must stops for this particular trip.

Do other people have reputations for taking pictures of things oddly placed?

A few months ago while walking along the Trinity River Trail….one of my friends noticed this crayon and pointed it out to me….knowing I would need to take a few pictures!

I love how well the crayon matches the gravel and I wonder how the rest of the box of crayons is getting along without this guy!
