August Break 2015 – Week Two

On to week two!

E I G H T: smooth. I absolutely adore the silky texture of the lining of my recycled sari skirt. Time for date night!

Sunday morning. Nature is my church, in so many ways. <3

N I N E: earth. One of my favourite patches of earth, this stretch of pathway at Nose Hill Park. Although, it was particularly buggy this time of the year. 😉

I adore how Nose Hill Park offers a variety of habitats / terrains to enjoy: foothills, forest, prairie…

T E N: talisman. My secret compartment ring, which I use for aromatherapy oils instead of poison or pills (as in days of old). 😉

I know they’re weeds, but they sure are lovely to look at when they get to this point. Wishes, anyone?

E L E V E N: edge. While there were a lot of interesting edges to admire at Telus Spark Science Centre, it was the bike racks (and their shadows) that really caught my eye.

I can tell that fall is on its way with the return of “early morning light” when I actually wake up (instead of well before then). Siiiiigh.

T W E L V E: yellow. As I was laying in bed, pondering what I might photograph for this prompt, it occurred to me that Lego yellow is a very distinct yellow. And goodness know, we have a lot of it… 😉

Then again, so does the garden. Mmmmm – time for some dill and cream potatoes!

T H I R T E E N: last year. Last year, Bowness Park was closed for repairs due to the 2013 flooding. I am SO glad that they’ve finally reopened, as the boys and I love to visit.

Splashing. Skipping stones. Rescuing drift wood. Following minnows. Finding cool rocks. And actually playing together. (Not to mention the playground and Popsicles!) Yes, it was a very good visit.

F O U R T E E N: favourite smell. When I was a child, my grandmother’s rose scented things were… too much for me. Nowadays, I absolutely adore the smell. I hope that doesn’t just mean that I am getting old. 😉

That’s two down, and two to go. Gah! Where did the summer go?! Ah, well. Happy snapping, y’all!
