181/365 ~ Special | Unique | Trademark | Talent
Oh what makes me unique... I do have those trademark things ~ such as my tattoos or my long hair which are easily visible ~ but something that you can’t tell just by looking at me is my love of water. There is something so peaceful to me about water. Lakes, rivers, RAIN! I woke up to a beautiful rain shower and knew I had to incorporate that today. The sound of rain is especially calming to me and I even have an app on my phone that creates the sound so I play it all night long as I sleep.

180/365 ~ Off Prompt
We have been getting the most beautiful, bright and colorful birds this year at our feeder. They are cleaning it out daily though! 179/365 ~ Up Close | Details | Little Things | Natural Beauty
I am mostly going with the "natural beauty" idea today. We are so unbelievably blessed and have the most wonderful friends who enjoy having us to their house. They live on the Crow Wing river and they had us over for 10 hours today! We spent the majority of that time on the water and then had a lovely BBQ meal once our hubbies came after work. 178/365 ~ Off Prompt
This is actually a screen shot of a video... Here's the story ~ I was on my bike (total of 9 miles tonight ~ whoot!) and I saw a beautiful doe step out on the trail ahead of me. So I pulled out my phone and inadvertently changed it to take a video... When I finally got close enough to her, she lept into the bushes. Behind me, (very suddenly and made me jump out of my skin), her baby sprung out ~ only about 3 or 4 feet from me. Baby looked at me for just a moment and as I thought I was taking a photo, I wound up with just a short 3 second video. Bummer! So, this is what I have today. It was quite a challenge, this 9 mile bike ride ~ especially for my rump! Giggle! But the trail was absolutely beautiful and the weather was awesome ~ oh! And I didn't have 3 munchkins with me wanting to stop every 5 feet to get a drink! 177/365 ~ In A Vase | Complementary Background | Nature | Bud
There's not much more complementary than a nice cold beer and a campfire at a lake! My parents got a site at a nearby campground and we decided to drive out and have dinner and visit. 176/365 ~ Layers of Purple | Foreground | Middle Ground | Background
Dream sweet my angel! (We are praising God tonight! We discovered that the little lamp that Evette had at her bedside to read by burned through her sleeping bag last night. Oh how awful things could have been without God's protection around this beautiful girl)! We were both in tears! Her tears first came because I threw the lamp away for good but when I asked her what is more important: the lamp or her life ~ she agreed with me fully on putting it in the garbage. Then it was tears of thanks that nothing more serious happened. 175/365 ~ Purple Flower | With Green | Make it Pop | Complementary
There is such peace that comes after a rainy night... Such beauty that comes from raindrops from heaven. 174/365 ~ Purple | Shoes | Perspective | On the Floor
When the family is away ~ the bears will play... We were gone for just two nights and found our bird feeder bent over and lying on the ground. It was a quick fix so no big deal. The best part was being welcomed with these beautiful blooms! I got this rose bush for Mother's Day. The petals almost look purple before they finally bloom. 173/365 ~ Prompt Free
Our shirts say "Apparently we are trouble when we are together ~ who knew?!" Totally makes me giggle! I am so grateful for my 17 year friendship with Missy and for her inviting me to befriend Karri too! Then, of course, our hubbies in the background... They really don't have much they need to say. Giggle! 172/365 ~ Set It Up | Picture Frame | Perspective | Fun
Evette got her new bike this week. We thought she would be the only one who wouldn't need one this summer but that just wasn't going to work out for her. So, the kids have been loving being able to just get on their bikes and go! I love it too because now that Luna is used to the bikes, she seems to enjoy a trot along side us as we ride and now I have company when I take Luna out for her walk. |
Danette BadgerThis is my FIFTH challenge! I completed an entire 365 in 2014. In 2015, I tried to do something different and failed miserably so after finishing 2016 successfully I just had to keep going in 2017 and 2018! 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 2019 brings! Archives
