12 of 12: August

12 of 12

This is a meme hosted by Chad Darnell (check out Chad's site HERE and you can see others who participate each month. There are participants from around the globe and I love to see what they all post.


Here are my 12 photos from today.

1. 7am - Why oh why do we have so many shoes at the back door when there are only two adults and two children living here? I am sure that more than 1/2 these shoes do not fit anyone. I need to go through them again but I am CERTAIN that we just did this last month?




2. I had to steal pictures from my spouse because I felt like all my photos are the same every month. Today while I was working she took the boys to the river. Here are some of her pictures (also from today!)
11:00 - Making their way down the hill.

3. The river. Should something be growing in this water? I am not a river expert. I have no idea. I thought maybe not since the water is flowing quite quickly here.

4. Thinking about going in......


5. Big rock = Big splash!

6. Danger!

7. 5pm
Back to pictures taken by me. This is what I do twice a day, every day. Sit and wait for road construction. I can't complain because my drive home is VERY quick - without traffic - usually. So this is a small price to pay. Of course the day I decide to take a picture the flag person is a male, usually it is a female who is a lot easier on the eyes!

8. 5pm
Harvest.
9. Wheat.
10. A different kind of wheat!

11. 5:30 pm
Wheat for miles.

12.
Ok - is it JUST me or does something seem wrong with this picture.
Wheat. Wheat. Fields of Wheat.
then ... OH! Methanol!
It reminds me of a song I learned in my youth from Sesame Street:
One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong!

Jello LOVESMUKIWA, I do not know where you live but the scenery is gorgeous. From lakes to fields and I could not help but notice the skies (what glorious skies). As for shoes, if having too many shoes was a disease, I would have it too... Cool shot!

The roadsignsman looks creepy, almost like an alien or something!

I like Pic 11 most :-) because there is no "end" of wheat - or it seems so.

Your boy are lucky once because of the rive. Nice to play I think.

Have a nice day

We have two humans and two dogs... and sometimes our front hall looks like yours. :)

The wheat pics are awesome. Methanol... interesting.

I couldn't help peek at your Thursday 13 post... Hugo is adorable! (we have to watch for tails in our house, too.)

Thanks for sharing.

Wow that is some clear water Julie, I'm sure they were thinking of you working away :)

Really nice set of photos, Canada looking stunning as ever.

Playing in the river looks fun, and heh - maybe you need a shoe rack, so everyone has one shelf? ;-)

Sorry I’m late commenting – my own 12 only went up on the 16th lol, as I was visiting friends. But better late than never for posting and commenting ;-)
