365 Days of Photos – Day 47

I spent time in the yard today taking pictures for the Changing Seasons monthly photo challenge. I took several pictures of our metal pink flamingo…yes we are those kind of people.

Tina and I actually realized how well suited we were for each other when our first Christmas rolled around and we both had the same pink flamingo with a santa hat for one of our Christmas decorations!

365 Days of Photos – Day 42

This is a photo I took right after the new year. It is of the Tarrant County Courthouse downtown Fort Worth. It is a beautiful building, built in 1895. It sits at the far South end of Main Street. This picture was taken from Sundance Square, the activity hub of downtown, 2 blocks North of the courthouse.

365 Days of Photos – Day 39

Yesterday I completed the Hot Chocolate 15k. I have not been training to run so I joined a group of friends and we walked. We did run short spurts and that certainly made me miss running. Unfortunately my knees are old and I have some strengthening work to do before I attempt to get back at running.

Blogger Joanne Sisco, of My Life Lived Full, mentioned she expected to see photos of smiling faces at the finish…I certainly couldn’t let her down!

There were 12,000 participants.

The finisher cup!

The finisher cup contained hot chocolate, marshmallows, Rice Crispy Treats, and more unhealthy things. Unfortunately, 3 weeks ago I committed to a plant based diet that does not include these tasty treats….so I gave away what others would eat and patted myself on the back for sticking to the plan!

And now for the smiling faces…

Incase you are wondering I am the old girl on the left with the ice pack on my knee!

365 Days of Photos – Day 36

This abandon gas station is located in a historic neighborhood. When I see buildings like this I think about the stories, the people, and even the products that once were. I can imagine the rotary phone on the wall and the manual cash register on the counter. I am certain the guy behind the counter knows every person that walks through the door and the young man pumping gas knows every car by sight.

Its an era of simpler times, summer evenings on the front porch and lightening bugs by the thousands.
