I didn't anticipate having a Take Three Thursday post, but unexpectedly I do have three photos to share. I'm joining in with Mary-Lou at Patio Postcards where she holds a weekly meme, posting three related photos. She started the meme in an effort "to notice more of the ordinary in {her} life." My take three this week are a result of my effort to take more steps each day.
Last week I decided to purchase a FitBit in hopes that it would motivate me to get out and get moving! So far it has worked. This photo is not one of the three, but I decided to include it because there is another "unexpected reflection"---one of the prompts for the Summer Photography Scavenger Hunt. (Another of Mary-Lou's wonderful ideas!) At any rate, our original plan for today was to drive to Sturbridge, MA and visit Old Sturbridge Village. It's been over 20 years since we've been there. But the forecast was for 90° and neither of us had any desire to be out walking in that heat. We decided to leave after lunch instead, stopping in Lee at the outlets for a bit. So . . . I had time for a nice walk this morning before the heat hit Rochester, and snapped a few photos as I walked along.
I was walking in the city, and this sunflower was one of several in a very tiny front yard.
My Shasta daisies are just beginning to bloom, but these were a perfect opportunity to get a "where I stand" photo. I didn't realize there was a daisy covering most of my feet until I uploaded the photo.
Finally, one more for the SPSH: "a framed view." A peek into someone's patio.
We'll be on the Cape for most of tomorrow, until our ferry leaves for Nantucket in mid-afternoon. It's looking like we'll be "enjoying" thunderstorms for most of the day, but the extended forecast for the island looks delightful for the four days we'll be there, so I won't be complaining. Plus it will break the heat wave we've all been enduring for the last week.
