Day 13 - Reminds Me of My Childhood

This is a rest area between Yerington and Smith Nevada.  I spent many happy moments in this river, Walker River.  Caught my first fish here, swam on so many occasions, brought my children here.  I love Nevada!  My childhood was mountains, desert, desert streams, sagebrush, and swim team...the "desert fish".  I have a bag filled with sand and sage from this area.  After 4 years, it still smells of home!

Day 12 - Sun Flare

This was a fun picture.  Trying to get the sun, I usually get it by accident.

This is Nevada 2007, our first sunrise at my mama's.  I LOVE Nevada!  It just smells amazing!

Day 11 - Silhouette

I had to read about this kind of photography.  I found it fascinating!  This was the first shot I took on the morning of the 11th.  I tried to get my golden in silhouette...didn't work.  Either his coloring threw it off or he just moved way too much.  I do like this effect!

Day 10 - Animals

It's HOT here!  Grey is taking advantage of the shaded porch.  Why is this obviously orange kitty named Grey?!?  Goofy eldest daughter is a "Grey's Anatomy" fan.  All my kitties got old and moved on, Grey is the only feline in the house now.  She is happy with that

This is Buddy...yep a golden named Buddy.  Go figure.  I bet there are thousands similarly named goldens.  He was barking at me...probably telling me to let him inside!  He has been a good, if not huge, inside dog.

Day 9 - Fresh Fruit

Cherries are my favorite summer fruit.  When I was a kid, we had a cherry tree, my Gram Gram had two. Cherries just mean summer is here to me.

 I love a sweet watermelon!  These seedless ones are the best!

My River Fairy thinks so too!

Day 8 - Sunset

Sunset did not co-operate tonight.  This is the sunset I saw...could've cheated I supose, but the best sunset pictures I have are from 2007 in Nevada.

This was taken south of Vegas.  We were headed to Kingman, AZ.

Day 7 - High Angle Photo

My little Bug playing in the front room.  I am up in the loft taking the picture.  She is probably happy being in there, as it is not usually allowed.  I try to keep one room clean for company...rarely works...but it's not too cluttered at the moment,
