MY ENTRY THIS WEEK
This week was a hard week for me to get new photos. With the fire smoke (yesterday being the worst day yet) I’ve been staying inside and quite still for me. I’m making it through pretty good though.
All photos were taken with my Sony a7II Full Frame Mirrorless – handheld. I used my Sony FE 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 G OSS lens.
So yesterday I took this clock photo. It is in our living room. It actually fits snuggly between two open spaces in a hallway that leads to Chris’s office. It helps let light into the hallway from our living room.
This photo I took outside in my front yard. We had a tree that was diseased cut down a few years ago and now the bark on the stump is peeling away.
My neighbors wind vanes in his front yard. They are actually quite colorful.
Back inside though house. Our cat Charlie (left) and Freddie (right) sleeping on a chair in my office.Qi (energy) hugs

I like how defined the bark pealing off the tree stump is! So much variation of textures and detail! (And the cats are fur is SO fuzzy and soft looking!!! )

Cee, I actually had about a dozen black and whites I was going to make a mosaic of for this challenge, but when I bleached the last one–the flower–the first line of a poem popped into my head, so I only used the photo of the white hibiscus along with the poem. Guess I have fodder for future b&w posts!!!! https://judydykstrabrown.com/2017/08/12/bleach-all-the-colors-cees-black-and-white-photo-challenge-aug-12-2017/

Freddie and Charlie look very chilled Cee. And I’m glad you’re surviving the smoke.
We are having very mixed weather, and much as I moaned about the heavy rain yesterday, I’d rather have that what you’re going through.
Despite that, the weather was very kind to me on Sunday morning and here is a quick glimpse of the east of London: https://travelwithintent.com/2017/08/10/suits-and-petticoats/

Can no one compete with those cats. I went out in the rain (there is a compliment to you right there, Cee – you made me go out in the wet) and I had a specific subject for a new photo in mind (I did take it and it will pop up soon, probably as oddball) but then I was distracted by a completely different subject.
