Perspectively

More from Franconia.  In this image, the sculpture looks small.  In the second image, you can see just how large it really is.  It's all a matter of perspective.  I think this is the first time I've been at the park for sunset.  

Implausibly

 Most people have seen a sawhorse before.  Yesterday I was fortunate enough to capture a rare image of the elusive sawbuck.  

Greedily

 I've found the perfect fountain for the backyard.  He looks really eager for that first drink.

Observatory

 Bros enjoying the wildlife viewing station together.  As seen in 2018.

Greatheartedly

 Mom and her dad, many moons ago.  This is one of the few pics where my grandfather is hinting at a smile.  Looks can be deceiving though, he loved children.

Bleppy

 Daisy, back when she was fatter and sassier.  As seen in 2017.

Ambulatory

 As seen in 2017.

Energetically

 Kids are so funny.  As seen on Thanksgiving Day, 2018.

Soundly

 Power.  Nap.  I love that tiny blep.  As seen in 2019.

Providentially

 I got this holiday card from my good friend, Turkey Lurkey today.  Whew!  It's a good thing had I already planned on having lamb for Thanksgiving dinner this year.  That would have been awkward!

Snarky

Don't let the raspberry fool you.  Romeo loved to be out and about.  As seen in 2015.

 

Wanderingly

 In 2017 we did more road-tripping than I ever have in my life.  Over the course of the year, we traveled from one side of the country to the other – my husband for work and me to tag along, enjoy the drive, and take pictures.  

This was at Yellowstone during a 7 state road trip in September of that year.  I had never been to Yellowstone before and was awestruck by all the different kinds of beauty there.

Ironically, I had told my husband at the start of 2020 that this was going to be our year to travel again, but of course, that didn't happen.  Maybe in 2021?

Pertinacity

 Between a rock and a hard place.  Oh wait, that would be 2020.

Opulently

 I was thinking about Pennsylvania today, so I sifted through the archives to that time we were visiting one of my besties and her husband and had dinner at the Grand Concourse restaurant in Pittsburgh.  That place was so beautiful and the company lovely.

Draggy

Back in the day.  Second to last photo lab I worked at.  We had to be open New Year's Day, but not many people were coming in, so we looked oh-so-terribly busy.  The day dragged on and on. 

It's been almost 11 years since I took this picture (with my first smartphone) and it floors me how much has changed in my life, the photo industry and the world since then.

 

Secludedly

 

Formally

 Mom and her parents in the 30s.  Grandpa is all dressed up and looking pretty snazzy.  Not sure if this was for Sunday church or some other event.  Most pictures of grandpa back then were of him in his overalls.  

Illusionary

 That time my husband went swimming in an invisible lake in the backyard.  

Memorably

From a random Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome Twins game in 2004.  It was a work event and we got field access after the game.  That's how I got a close up of the base and Twins logo.  The look on that EMT's face is priceless.

Techie Corner – Digital cameras weren't the greatest in 2004, but mine did ok.  I was using my very first digital camera – a 5 megapixel point-and-shoot Pentax Optio 555.  

Gaiety

 Here's a nice big cheesy grin to make up for the grumpy picture from yesterday.  This is from the same church campout as the one from the other day. 

Animosity

 Young mom sporting her "don't mess with me" pose.  

Germy

 I went to the doc last month for a routine check-up.  

After I put on the gown, I remarked to her that it looked like it had little viruses all over it.  She said they just got new ones and she was happy they were vibrant colors instead of the old gray ones.  Then she looked again and said that they do look like germs.  I countered that at least they weren't red and she agreed that was a good thing.

Later she confessed that now she couldn't not see them as germs.

You're welcome, doc.

Hobby

 Mom's favorite pastime.  

Cavernously

Mom was always up for a goofy pose.  If she opened her mouth any wider in this one, she'd need a flip-top head.  

There were several years when we would go to the all-church campout together.  Instead of a tent, which could fall victim to late-night shenanigans or downpours, we would sleep in the back of our Volvo station wagon.

Don't ask how I know about late-night shenanigans involving mysteriously deflating tents of fellow parishioners.  In the famous words of Sergeant Schultz, "I know nothing!"  

 

Hilarity

 When your belly laugh is so big that it threatens to take over the whole wide world.

Noisy

One of my all-time favorite photos of mom.  
 

Seventies

 Mom in the seventies.

Relivedly

 Votey McVoteface is pleased that I voted but more pleased that the election ads are over.

Nationally

 I think an image of the national bird is appropriate the night before the national election.  

Grinny

 It's a cheesy mom-grin kind of night.
