Sunday Photo Round-Up: May 19, 2013

It's time for me to share my photo challenge photos from this week.
First, let's get going with this week's Scavenger Hunt Sunday:

Three, Hands, Fence, Cuddly, Sign

Three

 Three little girls standing on the stump of what used to be our favorite tree in the park to play around.

Hands

Two little hands playing with a rock in the dirt.

Fence

As I drove around town, I realized there are not that many fences in our area. I was trying to decide on which one I wanted to use, when my daughter spotted this fence "box" at the thrift shop. It was conveniently right next to a house decoration, so I played around for a bit to get a cute shot. Not sure if I prefer the first or the second, so I shared both.

Cuddly

While we were at the park this little guy was wandering around having the time of his life. He toddled over to me and needed a second of cuddle time. This is the shot I got when he drew near. I love cuddling with this little guy.

Sign

So glad this sign is on the inside of the park now. It is attached to the gate and we get really upset when they decide to close the gate in the middle of fall telling us that it will be quite a few months before we can enjoy the park again. It says, "Park Closed For The Season" in case you can't read it. 

I sort of missed last week's scavenger hunt, so here you go.
Perspective, Golden, Bloom, Dark, Local

Perspective

I hadn't figured out how to get a shot for this prompt until the other day when we were at the park. I had some ideas, but nothing I really liked. This little building is right next to where we were playing and I thought it would be a perfect way to show perspective. 

Golden

The first thing I thought of was the "Golden Arches" and we happened to be out and about the one day and I quick had hubby pull over so I could get this shot. 

Bloom

This little guy was sticking out by the building I shared above. Not sure exactly what it is.

Dark

It was getting dark outside as we were getting ready for bed.

So I took a couple of pictures of the girls in the dark.

Local

The girls are thrilled that our local park is right outside our back door. 

Now onto

May Photo a Day

Day 5: Paper

This is one of our math activities that we used for our Oo:Ocean unit. The dice was made out of paper too.

Day 6: Broken

The winter really took its toll on the road.

Day 7: Something beginning with F

A fish and a flag in the front window of the thrift shop (where people who are frugal will shop).

Day 8: Shape

Some of the shapes on the wall at the grocery store where we were sitting eating our soft serve ice cream cones.

Day 9: Snack

A little snack for Harold while I was cooking dinner. 

Day 10: Stars

I received this angel quite a few years ago and remembered it had stars on it. It lights up, though the batteries are dying now. 

Day 11: Smile

Couldn't just use one of the children for "smile." I had to get a shot of all of their cute smiles.

Day 12: Mother

Being a mother to these children, even on the stressful days, brings me such joy.

Day 13: Sunrise/Sunset

These are both sunset pictures, taken on the same evening on my way home from my Mother's Day dinner my son took me out to. This shot was taken as I was leaving town.

And this was taken at the top of the hill a few miles down the road. 

Day 14: Need

I need to finish my review of this really cool book. Hopefully today. 

Day 15: 7 o'clock

The girls were cleaning the play room while I was cleaning the dining room and Harold was climbing the stairs.

Day 16: Mailbox

Sometimes the girls will go and check the mail for us. They hold hands and watch for traffic and know to stay out of the main road. I just love taking pictures of them holding hands. 

Day 17: Season

Why, it's dandelion season of course. They are running rampant in our yard. I also had to share the picture I took of Harold sitting next to a clump of dandelions at the park. 

Day 18: Want

I want to lose weight, so I ordered a Veggie Delight sub from Subway. However, I really wanted a couple of cookies too and I gave into temptation.

And I'm continuing on with 

over at Mom vs. The Boys
