"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.  


Please give a looksee at the other participant's posts ~

"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

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.
