Hi, I’m Back

My last blog post was July 31.  The main reason I have been absent from the blogosphere world is that my laptop crashed the second week in August.  It happened during my Annual Mother-Daughter Vacation in Martha’s Vineyard.  It was the first time in six years of vacationing in the Vineyards that I took my laptop.  My plan was to blog about my daily experiences and activities as well as share photos during the vacation.

I took a lot of photos.  Actually, over the seven-day vacation in the Vineyards, I took a ridiculous number of photos.  When I downloaded them to my laptop, the count was 787.  The computer crashed and I feared my photos were lost.  Thanks to ICloud, I didn’t lose one photo.  Computer-challenged, I am not sure how, but grateful that through this technology all 11,000+ photos taken and/or retrieved from other sources over the past five years were successfully downloaded to my new laptop.

Taking photos as I meander through daily life is a new passion that brings so much happiness, peace and joy to my life.  Daily, capturing photos during my early morning bonding walks with the two daughters was the highlight of my Mother-Daughter Vacation this year.

Many more photos to share, over the coming weeks, as I recall and share memories of the many things that occurred during my, almost two month, absence from blogosphere.

Glad, I am back and looking forward to reconnecting with my blogging friends

 

 

 

 

Weekly Photo Challenge – June 19, 2015

Roy G. Biv

Acronym: Made of the first letters of the seven colors of the rainbow:  Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.

Challenge:  One or More Images Containing All Seven Colors.  

After checking out the challenge on Friday, I searched through the likely photo albums and  couldn’t find one or any combination of photos to meet this challenge.

Then, late last night, I thought of the photos taken on a visit last year to one of the local shopping malls and I was distracted, in a good way, with the 2014 Christmas Decorations.

I think the photos shared touches on all seven colors.  Do you agree?
