This is a sneak peak of one of the sessions I did at Photos for the Flood this weekend. This little girl and her brother had the most beautiful eyes! Mom hasn’t seen this yet….got to get a few others edited first!

Today I participated in Photos for the Flood, a fund raiser organized by Nashville photographer Sarah B. Gilliam. The Pied Piper Creamery, voted the best ice cream in Nashville, allowed us to use space at their store. Today also happened to be the day summer decided to invade with high’s in the area near 90 degrees. Needless to say, the Pied Piper was extremely busy helping keep people cool with their delicious treats. I snapped this shot when this little girl stood on a stool at the ice cream counter to pick out what flavor of ice cream she wanted. I thought the look she was giving her mom was so cute. She was probably having a hard time deciding because there were so many choices.

In case you haven’t noticed, I realy like colorful things. Most most favorite color is purple, but not far behind are red and yellow. I bought some new yellow place mats this week. I thought it would be nice to get a shot of one of my red wine glasses with the placemat as the background. I have two of the glasses. They were a gift from a Secret Pal exchange I participated in several years ago and I rarely use them. They are red wine glasses made of red crystal. I know they are crystal because you can make them “sing” if you wet your finger and run it around the rim. This was my favorite of the shots I took. I like the contrast of the red on the yellow.

Not something in flight, but something that was once in flight. This is a sun dial at a local park. It is made from the tail sections of two jets. I used to know what kind of jets, other than big ones, but I forgot.
It’s really a bit strange to look at because you can’t tell it’s a sun dial from the main road that passes behind it. I guess it’s “modern art”….it’s definitely different. As you can tell from the clouds we were about to have another storm. I just made it back to the car before the rain started.

I sat in my car under a shade tree today and ate my lunch. It was a beautiful day with a nice wind blowing. The pattern the leaves made on my dashboard was interesting to me.
