2016 Project 52: Week 17: Celebrate Spring

letters and numbers

What a great day it has been...I started off with a couple of hours at Whitefish Island enjoying the birds and looking for photos for this week, followed by a couple of hours at the Science Festival with Amanda, followed by a working visit with my parents at the campground. A bowl of cereal for supper and some blues in the background are making a perfect end to the day.

I really enjoy looking for letters in nature so I put this topic into the plan for the year even though I did it not too long ago during last year's project. Last year however, I just found random letters and this time I wanted to spell something. I decided on "spring" and headed out this morning to find those letters. As I went along, I decided to add 2016 to the challenge. I started enjoying the challenge a little less when I realized that I wasn't going to find a decent R, G or 6. So be warned, you may need to squint or use your imagination. I should have begun looking earlier in the week but man, the weather was ugly to begin and then I had a project that took some of my time.

I recently realized that I had three paid-for photobooks that expire next Thursday. I had already started a book about things we did last summer and I had photos from Las Vegas to use but there was nothing I could think of to use in the third book. Inspiration came in the form of a puppy. Pam adopted a sweetie pie from Northern Critters in Need and I figured they might need a Welcome Riya book (Riya is her name). I have had fun trying to get the little dolly (and her peeps) to cooperate with the camera. I admire pet photographers more every moment.

This is Riya, a maybe lab-shepherd mix.
