Well, it is Friday again — already. Hard to believe. But here’s my offering for Floral Friday Foto challenge this week.

Floral Friday Foto 146 – Neighborhood Blooms
Well, now that I’m into the Floral Friday Foto project, I will try to keep up. This little cutie is sitting on my front porch right now, welcoming the coming of my very, very, very, very most favorite season of the whole year: Fall

And these wild beauties climb up my neighbor’s fence. They generally bloom twice each summer.

Special Award To Cee Neuner
This post is specifically to give a special (no-rules-attached) award to blogging photographer Cee Neuner for her creative-fun photo of a roll of toilet paper.
Now admittedly, I am presenting this award with “tongue in cheek,” but Cee is an extremely talented photographer, and if you have not visited her site, you should. Her work is fantastic, and I think she deserves recognition. Besides, the funny side of me just could not resist making special note of work that goes into realms most photographers leave untested.
You’ll find the photo, along with others, at the link connected to her name above.
And as stated in parentheses, there are absolutely no rules attached with this award. I do not believe in awards with rules, because the person receiving that honor has already earned it fully.

WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: Dialogue
This week’s challenge is predicated on the idea that certain photographs, properly juxtaposed, can actually express dialogue.
What do you think???
Join the fun here.

Floral Friday Foto – 8/28/14 – Pink Lily Pads by Terry Valley
I decided I had to participate in Floral Friday Foto this week so I could showcase this brand new picture by my photography friend Terry Valley — since he doesn’t blog these days so can’t showcase it himself. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

Waters of Rest
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadeth me beside the still waters of rest;
He restoreth my soul … .”
(Psalm 23:1-3)
Thanks to my friend Terry for this perfect picture of peace.

Happiness is a Picture
This is St. John’s Lutheran Church in Rabbit Hill, Alberta, Canada. It has no particular significance for me other than the fact that when I look at it, it makes me feel happy. Thought I’d share it.

WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: Contrast
Thought I’d do three photos this time around, and for some reason my contrast detector zeroed in on Christmas.
The first shot is a picture of a favorite gingerbread house in brilliant color, but I was intrigued by how the contrast of light and dark seemed more pronounced when I turned the picture to sepia. I loved it, so it’s my first offering.
~~~
Next up is my bathroom Christmas rug from this last Christmas. I fell in love with this rug the moment I saw it, and it was primarily because of the gorgeous contrast of colors.
~~~
And thirdly: What to me is the biggest contrast of all — my azaleas blooming in deepest winter against the Christmas lights on my front porch.
