Another week has flown by..
Where does the time go. Last week went so fast it was like a blur.
And I have a feeling this coming up week will be no different.
When I stopped working I thought I would have so much time,
But it seems like I am more busy now then I was then.
I sometimes wonder how I did it all while I was working.
Well, onto this weeks Scavenger Hunt....
SCHOOL
Some of you might have seen this on my facebook page.
While in Portland this summer I got to visit my cute grandson at preschool..
Just look at all those cute little faces..
SCHOOL #2
Here is a school that is in my daughters neighborhood.
It looks like such a cool place to go to school. Not only did they have a
regular garden they had a butterfly garden. Who wouldn't want to go
to a school were they have a butterfly garden.
RULE OF THIRDS
I am pretty sure I got this prompt right. As long as my shot
is not bulls-eyed than I think its good.. Right...
SIDE PROFILE
I caught this little guy while we were camping..
So little and cute isn't he.
SMALL
This shot was an accident. I didn't even see
that bug until I was at home editing my photos.
I swear I need some new glasses.
MOTION
Once again Humming birds fighting at the feeder.
Can't they just share and get along.
No I did not take this photo.
Well as some of you know I went Ice Skating last week.
And I have to say for an Old Lady I didn't do half bad. I definitely
wasn't doing twirls on the ice. But I was able to keep up.. And thank goodness
I didn't fall once. We were on the Ice for three hours and let me tell you my legs
were so sore. The next day I really did feel like an old lady.
I took this photo with my phone. Not the best shot but
it is most definitely a day I will not forget.
Thanks so much for stopping by..
Hugs~

Amazing shots as always. Love that happy accidental shot. Gorgeous!

Oh look at little Myles at pre-school...how did that happen, they just get older too dam quick !! He is so very cute and also handsome, yes. Love your humming bird photos, even if they are fighting and also love your new blog header. Well done with the ice-skating, we don't get the opportunity to do much of that in South Australia, I have been a few times, don't know if I would be game now, but it sure is fun. xx

I love that your small was an accident. I can't even count how many times I've shot something and then notice a teeny tiny bug on it when processing. Great shot! I am loving the little bird!
Great photos, and well done for surviving 3 hours on the ice! A school with a butterfly garden sounds like paradise! Valerie

Hey Linda! That is such a sweet picture of Myles! He sure is growing up fast isn't he? Also love that little bird...you see so many different birds when camping in the woods. So, when are you going ice skating again? :-)
Hi Linda, Amazing photos, I love the little bird and the shots of the squabbling humming birds! Myles has grown so fast he is a little star!! Gorgeous too LOL Gay xxx
Another great series ... those little girls are precious.
I think profile is my favorite! That bird is cute.
Wow, love that shot of the humming birds... they look metallic! And what a fabulous place to go to school.. think I could have learned more if mine would have been like that. Hope it will be a pleasant and happy place for little Myles... he is so precious!!!

The hummingbird shot is simply stunning! But I think my favorite is "small". Very dramatic. :)
Lovely Lovely Photos Linda... Myles has grown so fast!!! Hes such a darling!!! Thanks for your kind comments.... always put a smile on me... Have a great week ahead... xoxo
These are awesome! The small shot is fantastic. And for the record, I would love to go to a school with a butterfly garden!!
Your rule of 3. and bird photos are absolutely beautiful !!!!
I just love to stroll thru your photos!! Always inspiring...So precious is the one Myles at school! The flower and bird shots are SO SO beautiful, mesmerizing. Glad you had fun skating with the girls. Stay cool and have a great week my friend:)
I always love to visit here. Your photography is outstanding! I would LOVE to attend the garden school ... although my grades would suffer as I daydream looking out the windows!
My son (the future ornithologist) says you have a Pygmy Nuthatch and possibly a Rufous Hummingbird. Beautiful!
Great set.
Your Small shot with the little bug in it is awesome.
Also that sweet little bird in Side-Profile is just darling and the colors of your hummingbirds in the Motion shot are just outstanding.
Those pictures are beautiful! Your grandson's preschool looks amazing too!
beautiful set of photos
I bet you were sore after 3 hours on the ice! I don't think I'd be able to move at all the next day. :) So glad you had fun with the girls, Linda! And I love all your photos. You amaze me how you capture the teensy animals. And I love your school photos, too. Little Myles in preschool is so darn adorable!
I knew you'd be one of those fun grandmas...good for you for getting on the ice. Those are the memories worth making! :)
Gorgeous photos as usual. My top faves are the side profile of the brown headed nuthatch and the dreamy yellow flower in rule of thirds.
Thank you, Linda, for your sweet comment...I still have to be cautious with light, but it's wonderful to be back!
