Every Day is a Gift!
Our host Johnbo asks us to feature cool colors for this challenge. He tells us “Cool colors evoke calmness, serenity, and tranquility, feelings often associated with water, sky, and nature.” I’ve included a few of my favorite cool colors for this challenge.
Many thanks to our host Johnbo for the challenge Lens-Artists #313 – Cool Colors
Terri’s Sunday Stills challenge is Nature’s Golden Yellows. The Lens-Artists challenge from Ann-Christine is What’s in a Garden? Both these challenge have flowers and nature in common so combining them into one post made perfect sense to me.
I’ve discovered many golden yellow flowers and butterflies during walks in nature and when visiting gardens. The following images are a few of my favorites.
I’ll finish with a gallery of yellow flowers
Many thanks to Ann-Christine for her Lens-Artists Challenge #311 What’s In a Garden?

When I read Patti’s challenge was ZigZag I didn’t think I had any images that would work. As I went through my photo archives I was surprised by what I found.
Bridges with ZigZags
Zigzags in Ireland
Rivers that Zig and Zag
Roads that ZigZag. I had too many to include them all so I chose this one that descends into Palo Duro Canyon in Texas.
Many thanks to our host Patti for her challenge Lens-Artists #310 – Zigzag
Are you enjoying watching the Paris Olympics and cheering on your country’s team? I sure am. 28 years ago, I wasn’t watching the Olympics on television. I was an Olympic volunteer.
During the 1996 Atlanta Olympics Henry, our daughter, and I were volunteers at the Olympic Yachting events in Savannah. For two weeks we got up at the crack of dawn to spend our days on the Day Marina, a floating barge system where the boats were launched and the athletes prepared for their events.
Our job was to help with launch and recovery of the boats. It was great meeting athletes, coaches and trainers from around the world and to see the boats up close.
It was exciting to see the athletes returning to the Day Marina after their events.
Being an Olympic volunteer was a once in a lifetime experience. The memories of those days will stay with me forever.

Our guest host PR of Flights of Soul chose Balconies for this challenge. Decks and porches are more common where I live so I searched through my travel archives to find images of balconies.
I decided to feature a few balconies from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
