FMS Photo A Day. January 7. Todays prompt was White. I’ve been trying to think of something white all day and could not think of anything. I went out in my CAR today to go to the grocery store. I went back home and unloaded the CAR. Then I went back out to lock the CAR. And still could think of anything white. Duh! Talk about missing the obvious. #fmspad #fmsphotoaday
Todays FMS Photo A Day prompt was the word Breakfast. Here is my typical morning. A cup of coffee and my laptop. I rarely have breakfast. So I had to create a breakfast for todays photos. #fmspad @fatmumslim
Todays prompt from FMS Photo A Day was the letter B. Having decided to use song titles each day this month I chose an ACDC song for today. Back In Black. #fmsphotoaday #fmspad

I am a avid traveler. But I have this on my wall in my family room to remind me what is really important #fmspad
FMS Photo A Day - March 15. Todays photo prompt is A Fleeting Moment. I took this photo in Lima Peru several years ago. I happen to hear music and loud drum beats from hotel window. I walked down the main square and found a huge parade and celebration going on. I just snapped photos of the parade and the crowd. When I was editing them later I found this young girl in a large parade group photo. I did some editing and cropping and ended up with this photo. I just caught her at the exact moment she twirled around and smiled at the crowd. It was not a planned photo and was just a spontaneous crowd photo. But now it's one of my favorites of my travel photos and hangs on my wall at home. #fmspad #fmsphotoaday
Lucky. I helped a turtle cross the road and found my first four leaf clover. www.explorecreatewonder.com
We have got out of Colorado for a few days and headed to Austin, Texas to watch the MotoGP races. We were at the Circuit of the Americas today and sitting right above turn one. This is Quateraro aka El Diablo putting his bike in the right spot. There were a number of times that he went through where there was definitely a “Merde” head nod happening as he got off line and didn’t make it through smoothly. Looking forward to seeing him tomorrow and hoping he can keep Marquez off of the pole position. While I love seeing these guys, I’m actually here to see Rossi. This is his farewell tour. I got a couple of pics of him but neither were as sharp as this. You can tell Rossi just isn’t pushing he’s happy just doing laps and waving to the crowd.
I’m going to show you my schizophrenic use of English here. Fall is here in Colorado. The leaves are changing and turning all sorts of beautiful colour. Today, we saw lots of reds and yellows. These trees have been getting redder and redder over the last few weeks. Some of the aspens have gone from bright green last week to yellow this week
This old building is from the early 1900s, the Fly’n B Ranch house. It’s what passes for history around here. Back in those days our whole area was either prairie or ranch land. Homesteading was allowed to encourage people to develop the land as part of the expansion west. Forty years ago, the town did not exist. Today there are 32000 homes and over 100000 people living here. The guy who built the house used to use the land to grow trees and was known the “Johnny Appleseed” of Douglas County. Today the place is abandoned but there are plans to restore it as a community center. Some of the old ranch land has been put to use as a park and it has its own little fishing pond.
Here is another piece of public art outside one of our local libraries. There could not be a better place for this installation called “Circle of Friends” by K.E. Crain. The friends are the books inscribed around the circumference of the pipe. As a reader, I am pitiful. I read lots of stuff on a daily basis newspapers, white papers, blogs, emails, contracts, RFPs and other work related stuff. Book are a completely different challenge. I set myself a goal of 24 this year. If I hurry up, I might make 15 and one of those was a business book. This is two worse than last year and two better than 2019. I’m going to back my goal down to 20 next year and see if I can achieve that. I’ve seen a couple of people today post about reading 200 and 135 books this year. I just don’t know how that is possible.
Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland, you can tell you’re in Michigan here. Note the Michigan Wolverine signs when you look past the village. 💚❤️🎄
FMS Photo A Day. July 2 - L. This is my letter. L for Larry. But I am also trying to use song titles as my inspiration for each letter photo this month. Todays song will be Hats Off To Larry. Written and sung by Del Shannon #fmsphotoaday #fmspad
You can’t get much redder than this Volkswagen Beetle. Although, the lady who got out of it was wearing a bright red sweater. I couldn’t move fast enough to get her in the shot too. I was more interested in getting to breakfast at a little place around the corner. We’d walked past the place on Saturday and there was a line outside the door. It was definitely worth going to today. I had biscuits and gravy with a spicy, cheesy sauce. It was a classic diner with a counter and being in New Orleans a couple of slot machines.
Lucky, lucky, lucky.
I’ve got a lot of four-leaf clovers. (And five-leaf, and seven-leaf...)
I have always loved going out to look for four-leaf clovers. It’s like a mind-soothing activity for me.
I press them into whatever book I can find. I only went through about half of one book to get these, I still missed a ton in this book, and any with the “found on” date written down I left in the book and didn’t use. Some of them even have little stories, or I found it for a specific person. (“Found my missing keys at Lake Marion” is a fond memory, but I didn’t locate that specific clover in this book! I don’t remember which book it’s in!)
I even designed myself a little clover logo. A green clover in a hot pink square. it is based on the two B’s of my initials, back-to-back to form a clover. I designed it forever ago but only use it rarely.
(Yeah, totally dropped the ball on Photo a Day for January. Lots of excuses: bigger ongoing projects, upload limit filling up rapidly, short attention span, etc... Honestly I (respectfully) didn’t have the heart to come up with a “Pets” prompt this time, and I (disrespectfully) didn’t want to take one more bad photo of a white/grey overcast sky just because “The Sky” was the prompt and I had no clever ideas. Lol)
