151/365 ~ Red | Hue | Just A Touch Of | Variety
This is a whole lot of red but I couldn't resist capturing this... the group I was helping filled roughly 1200 water balloons. I am guesstimating that with the other helpers today, there were probably 2000 filled! Wow! Tomorrow is the last day of school so today was used as an all day fun day. The munchkins got to watch a movie this morning and then this afternoon was the water carnival! There were (wet) games and (wet) races. The fire truck even came and soaked us all! And by us, I mean that Evette pulled me right under the spray of the firehose too! We had so much fun!

Oh what a beautiful world we live in. I am especially grateful for zoos today because my daughter participated in her class field trip to a local zoo. Where else can you see exotic and beautiful animals up close and personal. Just like this beautiful bird that hails from Australia. This bird cage was the big attraction and for a small fee, you could feed them. The birds were very friendly. So much fun! 149/365 ~ Chocolate | Dark | Brown | Neutral
Thank goodness for uneaten Easter chocolate left in the candy jar! This is typical for my family... each big candy holiday that passes, the jar fills up, and then by the next holiday, the old candy is thrown out and it's filled up again. Today's prompt gave me a nice excuse to play around with it and have a tasty treat myself as the chocolate kept melting on my fingers. 148/365 ~ Stars & Stripes | Flags | Flying High | Display
I am honored to be part of a country that puts a whole day aside to remember those who have laid their lives down protecting our freedoms. To those who sacrificed all ~ you are thanked and remembered dearly today and always!

I was asked to attend a candlelit sound sanctuary tonight with a very dear friend. Wow was it peaceful! The noises that the horses were making in the background were lovely. It was a nice way to spend a couple of hours after a busy week! 144/365 ~ Curved | Crooked | Loopy | Swirly
Love the beautiful blooms right now! Between the lilac bushes and these beautiful crabapple trees ~ there is no shortage of lovely fragrances anywhere you go outside. It never lasts long enough! So blessed to have these to enjoy on my walks with Luna. 143/365 ~ Light Trails | Low Light | Streak | Long Exposure
No opportunity for playing with light trails so I am opting to use some natural ones. There were some beautiful sunshine streaks peaking through the clouds right before a wonderfully welcome rain shower tonight as I was out shopping. 142/365 ~ The End of the Line | Imagine | Blur | Waiting
After waiting so patiently for some baby teeth to come out ~ it's finally Gavin's turn for braces. His brother got his braces last December so it's been a long wait for this guy! We can't wait to see what the end of the line (or in this case, wire) will look like after his care is over. I imagine the time will go by so fast it will all be a blur! |

This is my FOURTH challenge! I completed an entire 365 in 2014 - then in 2015, I tried to do something different and failed miserably so after finishing 2016 successfully I just had to keep going in 2017! I am part of an amazing group of talented photographers who post an image from an interpretation of a prompt that we receive every day in our e-mail. It's so neat to see how differently a person perceives a simple word or concept and how they translate that into a photograph. I enjoy this challenge very much and I am looking forward to seeing what 2018 brings! You can view my past projects by clicking the links below for each year. CY365
