Our cat hasn’t let us out of his sight since we got home from our trip. He really misses us when we are gone. (And we miss him). I happend to catch this photo of him mid yawn…makes him look like he has gone a bit bonkers.

Day 229 – Not So Snowy Snow Canyon

I decided on a scenic photo for today. We spent some time today on a beach at a near by reservoir, but non of the photos from that mini adventure seemed right. And so I give to you, Snow Canyon State Park. It was named Snow canyon, not because of the white stuff, but after the name of an individual.

Day 226 – The Ugly Gosling

Okay, before I get hate mail…I don’t think these gosling are ugly. ๐Ÿ™‚ I named this photo that because of Tasra’s Theme Thursday theme…diversity, and because the the story of The Ugly Ducking. I have vivid memories of that story from my childhood. My parents created duck puppets out of Styrofoam and feathers and my siblings and I acted out that story in a puppet show. That story taught me a great deal about diversity, that often we do not understand the true potential of others. It also gave me hope that when I grew up maybe I wouldn’t be as ugly as my brothers…didn’t happen. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Day 225 – Scout’s Honor

James Jr. received his “Arrow of Light” award tonight and has officially moved from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. I usually don’t use selective color, but on this one I desaturated everything but the most saturated colors. It left the beads and his blue shirt in color and the liquid in the jar still looked like it was glowing. (The ceremony that Joseph put on was cool and involved making the stuff in the jar glow.)
