Every Day is a Gift!
Let’s have some fun identifying plants. Terri’s theme of Floral ABC’s is to post three flowers starting with the letters A, B and C. Can you guess guess the flowers in these three photos? You can check your answers at the end of this post.

Every Day is a Gift
Today is Flag Day in the United States. On June 14, 1777, the second Continental Congress made the decision to adapt a national flag with thirteen alternating red and white strips and white stars set against a blue background. Today there are 50 stars representing the 50 states.

For this challenge Patti has given us tips on how to focus on the subject in our photos.
She asks us to “Select 2 or 3 tips and then use them to compose several photos. In your post, share your photos. Try to limit them to 4. Identify what tip you used. For an extra challenge, post a “before and after” photo of the same scene/person/object. Identify how you could improve the first shot and then reshoot it, using one of the tips mentioned here.”

“Bicycle, Bicycle, Bicycle
I want to ride my
Bicycle, Bicycle, Bicycle”
…. lyrics from “Bicycle Race” by Queen
In honor of National Bike Month, Terri ‘s challenge this week is Bikes. When I saw Terri’s topic the song “Bicycle Race” by Queen immediately popped into my head.
I haven’t ridden a bike in a long time. My balance just isn’t what it used to be.
Many thanks to Terri for her Sunday Stills challenge Bikes
