Greenie

I had some really fabulous ideas for photos this week, but they just didn't happen. Somehow, not only did I take very little photos, but my house also didn't get cleaned. I'm not sure what I spent my time doing.

I love this daisy because it was a single pop of color in a sea of green. Also, I just love daisies. They make me so happy.

Do you know what makes me even happier than daisies? Sharing food with friends. When I visited Julie and Sara Joy, we shared this delicious appetizer (we also shared fried pickles). Chili cheese fries with green onions. I gave Tommy a fry and he ate it so quickly that I had to check his lap to make sure he didn't drop it.

Do you know what makes me even happier than daisies and fried food shared with friends? DESSERT shared with friends. We totally got something off of this delicious dessert table (and then we went to a bakery. Yes, a bakery AFTER eating dessert), which conveniently had a vase full of green stems in the middle.

Oh, and clearly the answer to the question of what I was doing when I was not photographing and not cleaning this week? I was eating. Check back next week when I discuss how my pants no longer fit.

Beautiful! I now have this strange urge to go have breakfast and play in the garden. Hmm...

Lovin' the daisy! They always tend to scream, "Take my picture!" :)

I love that daisy shot! My yard is full of daisies right now and they make me so happy!

And I'm totally considering eating a piece of cake for breakfast...

Erin!! These shots are very cool. The daisy one is just wow. What killer contrast and that daisy almost looks fake floating up there. So awesome.

But I really like the second shot with just the glimpses of green. I really like how this challenge made me notice colors in a whole new way. Very cool.

How's life and summer? Hope it's all happy!

Nice job, Erin. You showed me that green doesn't have to mean solid green. Your photos are all great and caused me to add a different one to my post.

What was that again? I was distracted by the pretty table covered in cake ;-)

This is awesome and I love that you guys were together.

I love how pristine that daisy looks against the green. Great shot, sugar lips.
