Guess it's a cliche shot, but you have to take a tunnel pic sooner or later

It's a shame they only bloom for a day.

Tried adoramapix to see how well their prints turn out. Pleased to see they match the colors I see on my computer quite well.

When a butterfly lands on the sidewalk in front of you, it's just asking to be photographed.

Don't you love that name?

I'm not a big fan of convertibles or old cars, but it would be fun to drive this one, even with a few of the parts missing.

My lavender has been loaded with bees and butterflies. I can't blame them, that's where I would bee if I was a butterfly :)

184-366 "Happy 4th!"


184-366 "Happy 4th!", originally uploaded by saralonde.

I'm throwing my 366 a bit out of order, but seeing it is the 4th of July in my part of the world, a bit of happy patriotism seems in order :)

This flag is absolutely huge! In a weird personal note, for some reason it makes me nervous to go anywhere underneath it. I have no idea why. "Largeflappingflagophobia" maybe?

179-366 "homemade caramel latte", the unStarbucks

Definitely cheaper than Starbucks, but not quite as pretty :). Although I must say, the taste was very close, and that's what counts, right?

178-366 "too cool for the pool"


178-366 "too cool for the pool", originally uploaded by saralonde.

The day I took this, the temperature outside actually went down a bit, from the high 90s to 75. With a stiff breeze, even sitting outside was a bit too cool.

One of those days when nothing turned out very well, but the 366 must go on...

176-366 Leftovers from flower arranging

Always get some loose petals

175-366 old photos


175-366 old photos, originally uploaded by saralonde.

I've been going through boxes of old photographs left by my parents lately, many of which were taken by the old Zeiss camera in this image. A lot of them are pics of people and places that I don't know, taken before I was born. It's an interesting glimpse into their younger lives.

174-366 Before you know it, they'll be gone, too

so I might as well shoot them while I can.

These are all over my front yard.

172-366 Lavender smells wonderful! If I was a bee, I'd hang out here, too

It's summer...got to have my bee and flower pic ;-P.

169-366 Father's Day gift


169-366 Father's Day gift, originally uploaded by saralonde.

Since our daughter is the pastry chef at a large restaurant, she is busy most holidays. So this time we went to her restaurant for a Father's Day brunch. She brought out a special plate for my husband with lots of little goodies.

At some point I'm going to get images off my camera, through Photoshop and up onto Flickr. I can manage the taking a pic a day, just not the time to get them up! :)
