Week of 9/2 - 9/8

This was a strange, weird, and wonderful week.  I did not capture it much, and I've definitely given up on a project 365, but I do plan to continue to take pictures weekly and post them.  I will do a yearly photo project, but it won't be a daily thing.  Now to this week...





Park time on Labor Day.

We decided to visit Vedauwoo this weekend. It's about 1.5 hours from our house and we try to visit once or twice per year. The rocks are fantastic and the dogs just adore scrambling, picnicking, and chasing the various chipmunks that inhabit the area.

Week of 8/26 - 9/1

Wondering if Rose made it to Boulder in her "Bad Wolf" phase...

Alas, it was bound to happen... I forgot to take a picture on Saturday, August 18th. The whole point of this project is to have fun, so I'm not going to stress about missing the occasional picture now and then and honestly, I'm surprised I made it thus far without forgetting.

The Bells of Ireland were supposedly annuals according to the seed pack when we planted them last year. But, like the pansies in our front yard, these guys came back and grew like weeds this year.
