#photoadayMay – Group 3 and Group 4

Thanks to fatmumslim, I’m participating in her #photoadayMay this month. Want to join me? Check out her site!

Because I’m running behind (I told you this photo challenge was difficult for me!), here is group THREE and FOUR (well, at least parts of them):

May 11 — kitchen

I got nothin’.

May 12 — something that makes me happy

As much as I love calla lilies and hydrangea flowers, there is nothing more beautiful than a gigantic magnolia tree. It reminds me of my great-grandmother, Nannie. Just thought of her makes me smile. And that, makes me very happy.

May 13 — MOM!

I saw this hen turkey near a friend’s house and she was walking along the county road with her 12 chicks. Such a cute feathery family!

The photo of the baby chick doesn’t count for this photo challenge, just consider it a cherry on top of your photo sundae. I’m nice like that.

May 14 — grass

Husband is the best, he mowed. Again.

May 15 — love

Sorry, no picture. I got nothin’.

May 16 — what I’m reading

If I told you my “twitchy palms” were stowed would you know what I’m reading? My inner goddess is prancing around dripping in diamonds … and a grey silk tie.

Any guesses?

May 17 — snack

This is a reminder that I owe a particular set of kiddos at church a batch of strawberry cupcakes. They’ve been asking The Cupcake Lady (ahem, yours truly) for cupcakes and I have yet to deliver. I have the ingredients. Must. Make. Cupcakes.

May 18 — something I’ve made

I’m really proud of my “accomplished” Pinterest project. These paint chip drink coasters (for tutorial, click here) are so colorful and festive, plus I already have the materials to create more with initials and monograms, team spirit and sports teams, plus some really gorgeous prints.

May 19 — a favorite place

The good ol’ U.S.A.

May 20 — something I can’t live without

Again, I got nothin’. No picture, that is. What can I not live without? Hmm … besides the obvious (water and food), I’m not sure. I know I could live without scorpions.

I’m hanging my head in shame. Good day.

That’s all.

#photoadayMay – Group 2

Thanks to fatmumslim, I’m participating in her #photoadayMay this month. Want to join me? Check out her site!

Here is group TWO of my photographs:

May 6 — ME!

I really hate for my photo to be taken. I cheated and took a photo of my Facebook wall on the computer screen. Let’s move on.

May 7 — someone that inspires me

There are so many people that inspire me. I’m blessed with incredible people from all walks of life that guide me, teach me, challenge me, entertain me, and nurture me. For the sake of this post, I’m breaking the rules because I did not take this photo of Lisa. Besides, it’s hard to take a photo of someone who lives in Virginia. Please, visit Lisa’s blog and tell her I said hello.

May 8 — a smell that I adore

It’s hard to describe the smell in the back woods of western Kentucky. Luckily, I have this picture from a trip to Kentucky last summer ….. I’m on a roll of breaking the rules, so forgive me …… that takes my breath away every time. The trees, the water, the sky, it’s peaceful, sacred, and, most importantly, it’s my Kentucky home. I miss it. A lot.

May 9 — something I do everyday

Humor me. I doubt the world is ready for the offspring Husband and I have the potential of creating. It’s better for everyone that I take these pills every day. Seriously.

May 10 — a favorite word

Again, my sense of humor is on overload.

This photo challenge is really difficult for me. I don’t take my camera with me wherever I go on a daily basis and I’m always scrambling to complete this goal. I envy those with cell phones that take pictures. I won’t bore you with the ancient features of my cell phone: it dials numbers and receives incoming calls. Is there an app for that?!

Anyway, happy shootin’ and see you next week for Group 3 photos!

#photoadayMay – Group 1

Thanks to fatmumslim, I’m participating in her #photoadayMay this month. Want to join me? Check out her site!

Here is group ONE of my photographs:

May 1 — peace

Husband moved this hay-ring (used around a fire pit) so he could mow near the area it usually sits. By adding a four-by-four wood post and two metal support brackets, the hay-ring became a peace sign!

May 2 — skyline

It’s not the best of photos, but it’ll have to do. The faint circle is the moon. This weekend, a “super moon” is supposed to be visible. I hope the clouds stay away so we can see it.

May 3 — something you wore today

I don’t wear a hat and Oakley sunglasses like I did when I played competitive golf. But, every now and then, I like to wear them. Today, because the weather was absolutely perfect, I wore my hat and rolled the windows down in my car. Instead of taking the main highway, I drove county roads with the radio turned up loud.

May 4 — FUN!

Today is Kentucky Oaks (read my super-duper post HERE) and I splurged by betting a whopping five-dollars on the horse race. Unfortunately, my horse did not win, or finish in second or third place. I won no money and I did not squeal in excitement. However, the winner, Believe You Can, is owned and trained by two Kentucky men and the jockey, Rosie Napravnik, is the FIRST FEMALE JOCKEY to win The Oaks.

May 5 — bird

I have bad news about the bird nest in our driveway: two of the four killdeer eggs were disturbed by “something” and the remains are disheartening. To say the least, I cussed whatever destroyed this nest. I used really, really bad words. Mama and Papa Birds are nowhere to be found. They disappeared the same day Husband discovered the nest. It breaks my heart. But, life must go on.

Alright Y’all, I’ve (barely) completed the first week of this #photoadayMay challenge. It’s more difficult that I imagined, but I’m going full speed ahead and looking forward to week two. I’ll share group two photos next weekend. Until then, happy shootin’.
