Photo Blogging Challenge ( #Photoblogchal ) for October: Water

It's been awhile, but I wanted to join in again this month with A 'lil Hoohaa's photo blogging challenge.  It was the theme that captured my attention:  water.  Oh, how I miss water!  Living in the desert, this challenge was really a challenge.  Where could I find water? Water is almost imaginary here, so I headed toward the lands of imagination:  theme parks!

Even though I traveled a bit to find water, I should have been patient.  On Friday the 28th, we had rain!  (Hey, PJ--can you please choose "Snow" in December?  I'd like to place an order for a white Christmas!)

  4. Nice photos! I too visited a theme park close to me, not as special as Disneyland though. They all came out pretty cool too! I like the spiderweb picture, it came out very cool.

  5. Ha, yeah, I heard you guys got some rain in California! Very clever to ask for a snow theme - let's see what happens :-)
    Too bad you had through all the trouble of visiting Disneyland to take those cool shots!

  8. Kristi your photos are wonderful! Sure do wish we could get some much needed rain here.I think you got rain when we didn't the last time. We were supposed to but it just didn't get this far south. thanks for sharing your pictures! They inspire me.

  9. Haven't visited a Disney theme park in years and your peeks at some easy-to-overlook details have me thinking about a return visit now that I'm into photography. I especially like the reflection of the castle and the water drops on the spider's web - that one's a tough shot to get properly in focus (yes, the voice of unsuccessful experience :-) ). Hope your December wish comes true.

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Lovely Autumn

I've mentioned before, but it bears repeating, that I love fall.  This week I noticed the following:

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
