#140 Closely Cropped (Theme #55) For Iona

As we were driving home from the cemetery today, I saw one of Iona's hay rakes in a field. I told my husband "wait, wait", but someone was right behind us and he couldn't slow down or stop for me to take the picture. I had my camera in my hand and snapped a quick one as we went by--then cropped it for better detail of the hay rakes.
This was my original "drive by shooting".

#139 Polka Dots (Theme #237)

These lilies have polka dots in the centers--enlarge to see them better.

#138 Transparent (Theme #335)

The wings of this dragonfly are transparent.

#137 Angels (Theme #11)

These angels were keeping watch at the cemetery today. Looks like they've been on duty for quite a while.

#136 Risky (Theme #261)

Socks has picked a risky place for his new perch. It's not so bad sitting on the wood stove in the summer time, but come winter, he'll probably wish he'd picked a cooler spot!

#135 Rest in Peace (Theme #260)

I went to the cemetery today to put flowers on my mother's and two aunts' graves. Afterward, I wandered around taking pictures of whatever struck my fancy. I came across this broken winged angel sitting on this tombstone with words that fit this theme perfectly.

#134 Mural (Theme #126)

This mural was on the wall of a prayer garden at the academy where campmeeting was held. I don't know what kind of paint was used, but they had put plexiglass over the painting to protect it from the elements. I believe it was painted by students several years ago.

#133 Tent (Theme #318)

Last week, my son and I went to an old-time campmeeting where many of the attendees stayed in tents like these. This is our tent, shortly after moving in and setting up (my daughter came and stayed a couple days--hence the third bed).
This was taken across the parking lot in an effort to show the number of tents--there are about 10 rows of tents behind this first row.

Campmeeting is my son's favorite event of the summer. (I enjoy it, but he lives for it).
