It's Friday, and time for a Fun Photo! I snapped this shot of pink bathroom stalls months ago, pre-coronavirus of course, at a local cinema. Not sure why this somewhat blurry photo makes me happy, or what that says about me, but there you have it. Art is in the eye of the beholder. 🙂
Pretty pictures of wildlife and nature always perk me up, but they're even better when you take them yourself! So I bring you today's Fun Photo Friday post: I snapped this tiny butterfly feeding on a hot-pink coneflower in my small flower garden the other day. It looks a bit like the orange-and-black Monarch butterfly … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Tiny Butterfly
Fun Photo Friday is back, after a two-week hiatus as I was moving! Today's Fun Photo shows my daughter doing AcroYoga at GuatesUP, a paddle boarding tour company in Guatemala where Gabby worked for a while. Not only does this look like a blast, it's a very fun, cool photo, IMHO.
I LOVE PENGUINS. These adorable birds with their devoted and caring parental instincts and their striking black-and-white outfits have always been on my Top 10 Favorite Animals List. And while I prefer seeing photos of them in their natural state, you have to admit this photo of them in colorful handknit sweaters is pretty darn … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Penguins in Sweaters
Today's Fun Friday Photo really cracks me up. My daughter took this while doing a workaway on a South African farm. It shows the farm animals taking shelter during a rainstorm. When I professed surprise that farm animals couldn't stand a little rain, she explained it was a heavy downpour. The funniest parts, if you … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Rainy Day on the Farm
It's official! Santa approves of Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, and my new novel is going on the list of gifts for the Nice people. Maybe he should also put it on the list of gift ideas for Not-So-Nice people who need to learn what is acceptable behavior and what is harassment... #MeToo #TimesUp #HAHG #AlmostCounts
This week's Fun Friday Photo comes courtesy of Tracy Buchanan. Fire safety concerns aside, what a great idea! Books come in all dimensions, which can be a pain when you're organizing your bookshelf. But those differences recede into the background when you use the books to build a Christmas tree. And, much like a real … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Christmas Tree of Books
(All the credit for this amazing photo and story goes to Edinburgh Live.) This Friday's Fun Photo shows members of the Ladies' Scottish Climbing Club wearing--well, as you can see--the immensely practical and athletic clothing worn by all women in the 1900s...as they climb a rock face. See that rope around their waists? That was … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Badass Female Scottish 1900s Rock Climbers
Cows are pretty cute if you ask me, and of course calves are definitely cute, like all baby animals. But these Scottish Highland Cattle take the cake for cute baby cows. The pictures speak for themselves.
Today's Fun Photo Friday feature takes us to Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, where my daughter is volunteering at a paddleboarding company. Lake Atitlan is a volcanic lake in the Western Highlands of Guatemala. I love this photo because (a) it's of my daughter, (b) it has a dog, and (c) the colors are just amazing. The … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Guatemalan Paddleboard
