Weekly Photo Challenge – Treat

Some of my favorite holiday treats: rugelach for Hanukah, snicker doodles for Christmas and noodle and raisin kugel for any Jewish holiday:

It’s always a treat to see what hubby and daughter come up with each year when they carve the pumpkins.  Here are some from past years:

Weekly Photo Challenge – Muse

“What subject keeps you coming back? This week, show us your muse.”

Seems I have two that I come back to again and again: flowers and sunsets. So I think I’ll do a gallery of each if you don’t mind. Enjoy!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Roy G. Biv

Sure, I’ll play!!

Roy G. Biv: no, he’s not the new bagger down at the grocery store. “Roy G. Biv” is an acronym made of the first letters of the seven colors of the rainbow, to help you remember: Red. Orange. Yellow. Green. Blue. Indigo. Violet. It’s also your photo challenge theme for this week!

such a beautiful red!

And one last one of the Wabasha Street bridge decorated in rainbow flags the day after  Governor Dayton signed the freedom to marry into law in 2013:

Weekly photo challenge – motion

I had no idea what I was going to enter for this week’s theme. Then it became a gorgeous day.  Gorgeous enough to toss a basketball.  Two of my favorite people were doing just that and I grabbed my camera.  Click anywhere in the gallery to see larger photos:
