"Hug" Day 30 of the 30 day photo challenge and month-long topic of "Bridges"

Hug - good lawd, I'm gonna need one.  I've committed to a July writing challenge, 31 days to build a better blog, hosted by Yeah Write.  I flip-flop between the photography and writing challenges, esp. in the summer.

On to the month-long photo challenge hosted by P.J. at hoohaablog.


This month’s theme is: Bridges.
Bridges differ so much throughout the world, so I hope there will be a lot of cool shots this year. OR, maybe you’ll look at this theme in a total different way?

Bridge #1.  This might be a freeway underpass or overpass.  I'm calling it a bridge and sticking with it.


Bridge #2.  Footbridge - not so pretty but functional.


Bridge #3.  Bridge over the Noyo Harbor in Fort Bragg, California.


Bridge #4 - Traveling over the Yolo Bypass, the rice fields stretch out below.


Bridge #5 - Neglected bridge over the one lane road that is no longer in use, just off Jackson Highway where fire raged through earlier in the month.

"My weekend" Day 29 topic of the 30 day photo challenge

I started the weekend off picking out new glasses.  I was at Indi Visual Eyes earlier in the week and these Prada frames had just arrived.  I fell in love.  They held the frames for me so they will be ready in a few days.  Birthday present to myself!


Here is Friday's Frock ~ "I'm not a potted plant" pose.  Linking with Spy Girl's 52-pick-me-up-complementary-colors

Old Navy yellow lace sweater
Charter Club white eyelet sleeveless collared shirt
Final Touch cotton print lined skirt
(All Thrifted)
Birkis pink and white striped sandals (retail)

It will be a hiberation indoors weekend - the weather in the Sacramento area will be over 100 degrees!

"Grass" Day 28 of the 30 day photo challenge


What am I going to do with an image of grass?  I Holgaarted it.  In the boondocks where I live, no one maintains a lawn.  This lovely strip of grass was at a McDonald's drive through.  (You do whatcha gotta do.)

"Teeny-tiny" Day 27 of the 30 day photo challenge


I can't recall where I picked up this teeny-tiny figurine, but he reminds me of Mr. VZ, so he is a keeper.

I'm having Google Friend Connect withdrawal.  I was so jazzed to have over 300 followers (mainly through GFC), it feels like I am starting over.  I'm sure a lot of bloggers feel that way.  *sighs*  I guess those that really like me (shades of Sally Fields), will follow wherever I go ...

The dessert I made for my birthday was nearly-ripened plums cut into small wedges, added to the Knox gelatin mix for cheesecake and poured into the pre-made graham crucker crust.

"Bokeh" Day 22 of the 30 day photo challenge


Better bokeh than never.  This is one of the smalls I added to my collection.  The striped dress is glazed ceramic no larger than one inch and on the base of the pedestal is written Marilyn Monroe.

"Fresh" Day 21 (using a free pass) and Friday's Frock

I'm going to go with this image, the sorta frazzled me, the antithesis of "fresh."  This is my one freebie pass on this challenge, I don't think an image of a salad will cut it for my audience.

I so love this Sigrid Olsen print skirt, a recent thrift shop find, Basic Editions collared sleeveless shirt and Talbots lined short-sleeved sweater.  I did more than one photo shoot in different iterations with this outfit.  Sometimes you just have to throw in the towel and go with what you've got.


Ending with a roughed-up Madame Alexander, a shopgoodwill.com inmate.  She looks how I feel by the end of the work week ~
