Continuing from Part 2…..

I’m still at Lola’s house.  Everywhere I look there is something interesting to  photograph.  I don’t really visit her enough, I see… and certainly have never spent this much time looking around her porch.  In fact, for every cactus there are as many mementos and I could spend another couple hours just taking pics of those.  Now that I think about it, I may have to go back to take a photo of her dear-departed-husband’s favorite-desert-walking-sneakers filled now with cactii.

Anyway, here are some of the photos that I took:

Continuing from Part 1 – This is the second thing that Lola wanted me to see — her dove family!  Aren’t they phenomenal? Continue reading »

Woo-hoo this is my kind of assignment: “So this Friday’s tip is to stay close to home – in your yard, or at least within a block of home.  Look around to find a unique angle, an interesting view, or perhaps a close up of something that you might otherwise pass by.”

So, I was sitting outside reading a book (on my new iPad if you must know) when my nice neighbor Lola came over and asked if I wanted to see something neat. I make a lot of promises to Lola that I’ll come by and see her  but don’t always follow through.  But hey, sensing a photo opportunity, I grabbed my camera and walked back to her place, which is only a few sites away, certainly qualifying for close to home.

And this is what she had to show me!
