#17 Joanne's mega assignment

This was QUITE the assignment!! I was not exactly able to complete every one of Joanne's requested photos, but the following are what I did manage to get.

 

#1 Bubbles

 

 #2 newspapers. I included the iPad in this photo because my husband and I read addt'l newspapers electronically. 

 

#3.  A B&W photo of my choosing

 

#4. It starts with "J"

 

#5. Yard critter taken at ground level.

#16 Nature

Howdy friends! In spite of these seeming like an 'easy' topic, and in spite of the fact that where I live is totally surrounded by nature......I simply could not get my mojo going on this topic. I just couldn't seem to get "inspired". LOL - this is my official disclaimer for my meager offering this week.

#15 Elements that make me ME......

#1 My Wall Street Journal and coffee every morning. Yep, that's me!

 

#2 Saturday WSJ and coffee....even more special than Mon-Fri! Only me, I guess!

#3 Short red hair for over 35 years....along with my cervical scar that is over a decade. These elements make me ME!

#4. I've been a nurse for over 35 years. It is who I am.

 

 

#5. Ditto # 4.......

 

 

#6. Where I live!!! This is where I walk to almost every day! It helps make me HEALTHY ME!

#13 Mailboxes

 

#1 - I just thought this one was interesting

#2 - Creepy and interesting, don't you agree?

#3 - I really hate this mailbox, but just couldn't stop myself from shooting it!

#4- Ozona! I'll be curious to see if Robin posts this one also since she lives in Ozona! :-)

#5 - Tarpon Springs - former semi-driver for U.S. Post Office lives here. Hey, a double "score" for me on this one!!!

#6 Just an ornate mailbox just around the corner from me.

#7 Can you say Honeysuckle mailbox??!! I think the postman hates this one because of all the bees that are constantly there once all the blossoms come out.

 

#8 - Tarpon Springs Post Office.....since we have a P.O. Box, I couldn't resist.

#9 - and of course, Tarpon Springs...known for sponge diving!!! Classic!



#12 Framed

 

#1. St. Francis of Assissi framed by the trees in the garden

#2. The street is framed by the trees.

 

#3. Tree limb frames the steps in the park

    

 

$4. Palms also frame the steps in the park

 

 

#5. More trees frame this path in the park. (You'd think I could find something other than trees as my frames, eh?!)

 

 

#6. Trees in the park frame the kids!!
