Water. Week 39-52.

Sometimes I like to challenge myself... try the water theme in a big concrete jungle... when you force yourself you can find your theme anywhere.  You just have to look.  I found water fountains, standpipes for fire engines and the Hudson river.

Wildlife. Week 38-52

I was hoping for something more exciting.  But this is the exciting wildlife within 1 mile of my home...
Butterflies in the garden

Geese and gulls by the lake at the bottom of our hill

Commerce. Week 37-52

Just spent a lovely weekend at a family wedding in Portland, Oregon.  I loved Portland and I hope they do keep it weird. A great town.  I didn't see anything that was typically "commercial" but I loved that it was a city of food trucks.  This one was my favourite.

And I loved that this doughnut place had an insane line just for making quirky doughnuts.  I guess successful commerce is all about the sale of goods and services.  I thoroughly enjoyed the goods (mainly food) that I bought in Portland.

Summer. Week 36-52

Tomorrow our Summer is officially over. School, preschool and work all start back with a vengeance.  Urgh.  Summer was so lovely and warm and full of great colourful adventures... farm stands and flipflops, freshly squeezed juices, kayaks and of course...sunscreen.
