Up Close | My Sunday Snapshot #30

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot! Today my snapshot is of a tree frog. Have you seen or heard one of these? Cute little critter! One of my absolute favorite thing to do is sit outside in the late evening (dark) sitting by the poolside, the solar lights glimmering and the sound of tree frogs. Peaceful.

This is the first time I had the opportunity to get up close to a tree frog. It was on the side of our cabin (down by the pond). It was a beautiful day when my daughter and her family came out for a visit.

Isn’t it so cute?!

Have a wonderful week!

Mysteries | My Sunday Snapshot #29

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot! Today I got up early, went to the grocery store. As I walked toward the entrance I happened to glance at the bike parked at the bike rack. Not exactly why it caught and kept my attention. But it did. It took a moment, but did you notice what grabbed me? The bike had no seat. I wondered if someone tried to steal it. So I walked up closer.

I was more surprised. Now the mysteries are really rolling through my thoughts. 🙂

Have a wonderful week!

Inspiration | My Sunday Snapshot #28

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 28! Today’s image did not materialize until just this morning. Hence, my later than usual post time. I first need to explain the conversation I had with Kevin last evening. Out of the blue, he asked, ‘Would you want to go to 8 O’Clock church tomorrow?‘. Sure!

So this morning while selecting the clothes to wear, I was going thru my closet. Starting at one end, I looked at each of my shirts. As I was nearing the end, I had found THE one. It reminded me of my Aunt Phyllis.

The sermon was just what I needed to hear. It was like the Good Lord knew I was going to be there. 🙂

My day is filled with love.

Have a wonderful week!

Realistic | My Sunday Snapshot #27

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 27! I had a lunch date with my friend, Cris, yesterday. I had taken her wedding pictures last year. We try to get together every 2 to 3 months. The Legends is half way for us to meet. Wonderful place to meet. After lunch we walked thru the moll and visited many of the stores. Girls and shopping, what else can I say 🙂

Checking out several clothing stores, we finally went into Maurices. I typically shop Wal-Mart, yep. Well, the one thing I noticed was all the signage. Not just here, but at all the clothing stores. It was here, I saw more realistic posters. The featured image, in my opinion, is a better representation of the ‘average’ female person. They had the slender models in other posters. It was just refreshing to see ‘this’ poster and the one below. I felt more comfortable seeing them 🙂

Kansas Comfort | My Sunday Snapshot #26

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot #26. I had the most wonderful time visiting and photographing a lovely young lady, Cresinda. Senior Portraits! As I have mentioned, I am a ‘retired’ professional photographer. However, if any of my past clients/friends request that I take their photo, I am pleased to do so. This was such an occasion. The featured photo and the ones posted below were taken with my iPhone. The actual images for Cresinda’s gallery were taken with my Nikon. I must say I was quite pleased with the phone pictures.

Commercial Driver’s License | My Sunday Snapshot #25

Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 25!

This week my image is more about a change. This change was unexpected. Currently, I work 9 to 5:30 from home. This isn’t too bad one may say. For me, not the best. In no near future will I be able to work the open shift, 7 to 3:30. when I did have this shift, I was able to be in the pool by 4. Get an hour in the late afternoon sun. As it is now, the pool is mostly in the shade. I am 60, my kids are grown and I am only working for the health insurance. Otherwise I would be ‘retired’. Okay, rant over.

One of the local towns I drive thru to get to Lawrence is Tonganoxie. One day in July I had seen a huge sign that the school needs school bus drivers. Ding, ding 🙂 With an inquiring mind, I went to the USD website and looked up the description. Full time is 20 hours a week. One can select either the health insurance or vision/dental insurance premium to be covered 100%. It would be split shift, morning route and an after school route. but I would have 4 hours between the two shifts I can be floating in the water 🙂 There would also be the occasions for extra driving time with school activities. I completed the online application. So we will see. I’ll keep you posted.

One more little rant. After picking up the CDL manual and reading; there is a section on Road Rage. I found this interesting. Many times I wonder if other drivers (especially the ones out of driver’s ed) knows this. On highway’s with more than one lane traveling the same direction, the left lane is for passing, not to just drive in. Did you know this?

Here is more from Flo (Progressive).
