Field Day

 

Being new to the

school I'm

working at,

I was able to

participate in

a yearly ritual.

 

Field Day.

An entire day,

spent out

at a ball park

that houses 6 fields.

The entire secondary

side of the school

departed at 8:15 a.m.

and returned at 2:45. p.m.

 

Teams are

determined by

what Advisory Group

the students attend.

Each team,

designed and wore

their own T-Shirts.

Even staff got in on the action

and did their own T-shirts too!

 

 

 

 

Two of my co-workers.

 

 

 

 

The competition was serious

and stiff.

But no team

took it to a higher degree

than this team:

 

 The teacher is the one

in the middle.

 

 

Getting ready to bat.

 

 

SCORE!

By the "Glitter Princesses."

Yes, the guys were all for

the name and pink shirts too!

As evidenced by this

"Coleman's Creepers"

it was a fun day for all!

 

 

The Celtic Warriors

took home the championship

and have thrown

down the gauntlet

for next years

challenge.

I can hardly wait

to see it all!

 

Unfortunately,

the staff lost to the Seniors

but they gave those

young'uns a run

for their money!

 



Spring Evenings

 

 

 

I didn't do anything to this photo,

it's a natural phenomenon and I

thought it was kind of cool.

 

 

As evidenced

by the sun,

spring has arrived.

 

The evenings lull

me to sleep

with it's chorus

of frogs

singing

and soft breezes blowing.

 

 

The story goes,

"Goodnight, Moon"

but I'm bidding the sun

goodnight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the skies remain

clear,

I'll be ready to say

"Hello, Moon!"



Feeding Time

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They're baaaaaaaaaacccccckkkk!

 

The Red Breasted Grosbeak

 

 

 And I couldn't be happier!

 

 

 



This Is...

 

One of the sweetest birds,

I know.

 

The American Goldfinch.

 

It's song is as sweet as they come.

They are living sunshine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



A Very Special Mother

 

I'm trying very hard

not to bother

this lovely

Mother.

But it was Mother's Day

and I could not resist

checking on her.

 

I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are all SOOC.

 

God Bless America.

 

 

 

 



Why, Hello!

 

I've been gone a spell.

Did you notice?

I'm back now.

Ready to get caught up...

after missing you all.

 

A few things have

been happenin'

around here

since I've

been away.

 

So what do ya'll say

we get caught back up?

 

I guess the most significant thing

is I've turned another year older.

Yup. 

Before anyone asks,

I'll just tell ya'll,

I'm 50 crabby.

Ha!  Not really,

it just sounds good.

Well, actually,

sometimes I am,

but we won't talk about that.

 

The next best thing that happened

was I got a NEW CAMERA!!!

Still not as fancy as ya'll but look at these shots!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Yes!
They are fuzzy.
Not perfect.
But these
are SOOC
before I even read any directions.
I'm just so happy
cause now you can
actually see
the birds I photograph.
And just wait
til you see
what I have for you later this week!
I can hardly wait!
Thank you family
and friends for
this new camera!
Especially my sister
and her husband.
I love you ALL!

Until then,
I'll be working on trying
to catch up with all of you!

 I'm looking forward to it!

 



What Do You See?

I understand

these

"What Do You See?"

entries have been a bit,

well, challenging

and/or

frustrating for some.

 

I think this one will be easy.

 

 

This is a REAL tree

a few hours from me.

 

Once again,

my friend Teresa

provided this shot for me.

 

 

 

 

 

You can blame her! :)
