Pieces of Me

In Kim Klassen's Beyond Layers Class she is challenging us this week with a kinda Scavenger Hunt in capturing images of stuff around me.  Each day M-F we will get 2 prompts and our challenge is to take pictures of those "finds".  Today, the first day, our scavenger hunt items are (1) favorite chair and (2) on our feet.

The first one is easy peasy...in the summertime you can find me in the rocker on the back porch, my favorite place during the warm weather months.

And the second one "on my feet"  well, not exactly "on" my feet, but most of the times "at" my feet is my sweet, sweet Toby.  He really doesn't like getting his picture taken, so naturally he didn't smile. Note to self...Toby needs to go to the beauty shop for a trim.

Before I sign off for today I wanted to share a few more pics from the Arboretum yesterday.  It was such a lovely afternoon and I did take a few pics.....

When I first drove up to the Educational Center where they have several lovely gardens planted I noticed quite a few people walking to their cars in the parking lot and they were all dressed to the nines.  You do know what dressed to the nines means don't you, or have I just dated myself again? The women all were wearing nice dresses and the men were in suits.  Ofcourse I had to ask "what's going on?"  A wedding....oh that explains it.  And then I saw the bride walking toward me, all smiles since she was now a Mrs.  I really wanted to take her picture but since the "official Photographer" was walking with her I thought perhaps not...!!  But I did get one of the bridesmaids...look at her hair!!

Doesn't this look like a lovely place for an outdoor wedding??

And a couple more....

Loved the light on these berries...!!
