Queasy


 No state fair this year, but plenty of memories from years past.  I think you can tell who is afraid of heights and who isn't in this image.  It reminds me a lot of a previous blog post of my parents.

Amusedly


 Romeo loved a good joke.

Rhapsodically


 Another throwback of Romeo, the 110 lb lap dog.  He loved people.

I'm experimenting with overlays.

Possessory


 I guess I've changed it to National Dog Week.  This one is from almost 5 years ago, back when Romeo was healthy, robust and had all 4 legs.  He was very possessive of his daddy.

Adoringly


 Thought I'd do another for National Dog Day, even though it was yesterday.  This was taken 4 months ago already, just 4 days before Romeo crossed the Rainbow Bridge.  He loved his daddy so much.

Observedly


 A flashback to 2016 for National Dog Day.  I was trying to get our boy to pose, but he was too intent on watching me flap my wings.

Motivationally

 

The common annual "dog-day" cicada goes through several life stages and typically lives 2-5 years, most of that time underground.  But once they emerge as an adult, they are highly motivated to find a mate as they only have a few weeks to procreate before they die.  

Even though they are big and weird looking, they are not considered to be a pest to plants or animals.

Reciprocity

 

When I get together with my artist friend, I take pictures of her and she draws pictures of me.

Salutary

 

My artist friend's outdoor haven helps her keep her sanity during these crazy times.

Effervescently




 This man lit up the room wherever he went.  He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Antsy

 

I had a nice time visiting with my friend and her cats yesterday.  This kitty wasn't too sure about being in the great outdoors.

Supportingly

 


Two thumbs up for your new husband is a good way to start a marriage.

Whoopsie

 

"Don't tell my dad!!!"  Someone spilled red Powerade on their white dress shirt.

What a difference 10 1/2 years makes!

Muggy


When your wedding reception is outside and the dew point is 74, this is how the bride and one of her new sister-in-laws stay cool.

Regardless of the tropical reception, I had a lovely time with family yesterday.  I love them all to bits.  

More to come.

Coitally

 Love is in the air!  These goldenrod soldier beetles are getting it on in style atop some pretty hydrangeas.  Apparently, they are a beneficial beetle because their larvae feed on plant pests.

Sultry



 For my 2500th blog, I'm honoring one of my dad's passions - his cars.  This is a 1967 Cutlass Holiday Coupe 442 Hurst Oldsmobile.

Unevenly


Last month at Minneopa State Park, there was a couple having their picture taken in front of waterfalls.  The rocks were slippery and their dog was wriggly and I decided to take a picture to document the scene in case they slipped and fell into the drink.

Biology



Back in May, the dead tree across the street was cut down, but then the stump flourished and blossomed out into the street.  The woodland creatures came and made deposits, and now we have delicious corn growing in the flourishing stump.  

I don't know who is going to eat the delicious corn.  Maybe the woodland creatures.

Swelteringly



On a very hot summer day last month, construction workers were getting even hotter while laying asphalt at Target.  I don't envy that job.

Scarcity



I was hoping for a pot of gold, but no such luck.
