Just practicing some candid photography at the farmer's market.I didn't take quite as many pictures as I should have, and I need some more practice aiming without the viewfinder.
Unfortunately, my favorite subject turned out blurry...

Some flowers from our yard.

An almostsupermoon! 
I was pleasantly surprised by the results, though the next day I read an article about photographing the supermoon well, and it had and example picture- pre-edit- saying "not a big winner, uh?"
Well, it's a winner in my picture book.

Mushrooms
by Mary Oliver

 Rain, and then
 the cool pursed
 lips of the wind
 draw them
out of the ground - 
red and yellow skulls
pummeling upward
through leaves,
through grasses, 
through sand; astonishing
 in their suddenness, 
their quietude, 
their wetness, they appear 
on fall mornings, some 
balancing in the earth 
on one hoof 
packed with poison, 
others billowing 
chunkily, and delicious - 
those who know 
walk out to gather, choosing 
the benign from flocks 
of glitterers, sorcerers, 
russulas, 
panther caps, 
shark-white death angels 
in their town veils 
looking innocent as sugar 
but full of paralysis: 
to eat 
is to stagger down 
fast as mushrooms themselves 
when they are done being perfect 
and overnight 
slide back under the shining 
fields of rain.

Sometimes you just need pictures of people.

But, just to satisfy the trend...
Today we biked the seven miles to Anna's house, then to Antler's Park. A beautiful day for the beach!
(we didn't end up swimming, or staying long. nonetheless...)

We Biked!
The Stone Arch Bridge festival was today... On Father's Day.

At Minnehaha

(Notice the segway-ers on the path...)

A  flutist at the festival


I have set my rainbow in the clouds, 
and it will be the sign of the covenant
 between me and the earth.

A flower... zinnia? dahlia? i don't know my flowers well... at Gertens, which is way too big for anyone's good, by the way. Glad we had frozen food in the trunk... :)

Still manning our garage sale.
Luckily the weather's stayed good so far.
There were some cute lil' kids come through, today! One inspired this picture, though she would have been a striking addition to this shot.

Sweet Style
We're having a garage sale today to raise money for our mission trip!
Honestly, we don't have that much good stuff, but it works.

Our last (half) day at Okoboji... :(
The sun came towards the end of our trip... There was a rainbow on the way home!! But the other crew had my camera (I rode home with Julie for lack of space, with TJ and Sam).

We visited Arnolds Perk, a cute little cafe near the Emporium

Ruthie colored a dandy dino

And Katie drew a loverly picture. I drew a willow tree :)

Jessamine and Anna


Riley Anna Marcella, to lunch

Rob demonstrates modeling for Anna and Jazzy. :) Not bad.
 
If I had more time, I'm sure I could have gotten better ones. Not a bad start, though.
