Skywatch - is that winter I see?

Well, as you may remember from my post a few weeks ago, summer in my neck of the woods is pretty much cloud-free. But just look at what we've been seeing this past week!

Yes, I think that winter may be on her way :)

Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! #39

I can't believe I'm late getting this out! It was just a wee bit busy around here, with the first day of school this morning! Wow! I'm really sorry to see the summer vacation go...

Anyway, here's a photo that I took a few years ago and posted to Robin's old meme, Summer Stock Sunday. Of all the photos I've taken, this one most reminds me of summertime, and so I thought it appropriate to post today, as we wave farewell to summer vacation:

And there are some nice windows in the background there, so we're all squared away :)

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 - hosted by me!

How exciting! Shadow Shot Sunday has always been one of my favorite memes - I feel like I really have a better eye for finding interesting things now that I've trained my brain to spot interesting shadows :) Thanks so much to Tracy for starting it, all those years ago!

Macro Monday - a melon

I was inspired by the photo on Bing a few days ago. For those who didn't see, it looked like this:

Looks like country roads through some green pastures, right? Wrong - it's a close up of a melon!

Naturally, as soon as I woke up the next morning, I got out my trusty camera and attacked the melon I had in the fridge! Here's what I came up with:

And my personal favorite:

 Okay, they're not as cool and close up as the one on Bing, but still, not bad, right?

Whimsical Windows, Delirious Doors! #36

Wow! 36 weeks of our favorite new little meme!

This isn't a great photo, I confess - I took it quickly, while sitting at a red light. Despite the mild blurriness, I just love the subject! Isn't this a sweet gate? It leads into a public park in Jerusalem. Quite welcoming, if I do say so myself!

Sunrise, Sunset...

Can you tell the difference?
