NOT AGAIN!!
Catching up…
For Harbor Days my Aunt had a picnic on the beach.
When I think picnic… I think lawn chairs and blankets.
She thinks tables, pillows to lay on, spare sun hats, shrimp shishkabobs, cabanas…
Well look for yourself.
We left a little early because Coop was driving Ben and I a little crazy.
It’s odd, if he doesn’t get a nap he won’t stop, he keeps going and going and going…
Anyway we swam in the river.
There’s my gorgeous man… It isn’t only octogenarians he makes swoon.
On the way there I took two minutes to snap a couple of pictures…
guess what…
Oh come on…
YUP! You got it barns…
Are you sick of me yet?
Okay which do you think works?
I’m not sure I’m terribly happy with either and may go for a little drive tomorrow.
I wish I could show you all the fields of sunflowers they are so gorgeous!
I’ll see what I can do.
******************EDIT*************************
It has been brought to my attention that the first comment sounded like complaining!
Are you kidding?!My Aunt C has Class in spades…
and I LOVE her parties… the things she thinks of AMAZE me…
that’s all.
It felt like a picinic out of a magazine.
If you want to see incredible though you should see the Christmas party.
She has like five Christmas trees… all gorgeous.Let;s just say she goes above and beyond and it’s always lucky to get an invite…
NO COMPLAINTS HERE!

okay… no kidding I LOVE the barn and sunflowers photos! My two favorite things and you’ve put them in one photo! Hands down you have just become my favorite photographer! LOVE IT! No lie! of the two with the barn I think I like the second one best… its like the sun rising on the barn… very, very cool!
I’m just so jealous. Why couldn’t I live somewhere like that!??
I love barns too.
I like your aunt. nice photos -I have taken sunflowers and they’re hard but I think you did good.
i like the swingset pic… but i always think that swingsets are cool. well, not the ones with puddles of water in the seat that you dont notice till after you sit down, but you know what i mean.
what kind of person complains about shrimp shiskas anyway?
The second barn pic is FABULOUS! I love how the sunflowers frame the barn .. and I love how sharply focused the sunflower is in comparison to the barn in the distance. LOVE IT!!
Great picnic on the beach!! Wow .. she sure knows how to throw a good one! Love all your pics .. your man is a real hottie … no wonder the 80-somethings love him!!
that’s good, everyday you can see Mr.Sun…!!
I just can see Ms Rain everyday…!!
You missed it, I got it up!
Looks like fun! I love both barn pics. I can’t pick….dont make me!!!!!
fingertips, trailing in the water…
NAH, I didnt think you sounded like you were complaining – she sure does “overdo” it a bit……..but as you say – its amazing what she manages to come up with!
Okay, and I LOVE those barn pictures – they are the ultimate – I guess its because I am partial to Sunflowers – lol! I like the second pic better, with the big sunflower head and the barn in the background – in fact I want you to enlarge it, frame it and mail it to me – LOL!
Have a super weekend Ang, Happy picture taking!
D; I just decided to work on a different unfinished piece since there were parts where I didn’t need a reference. Now I just need a reference for a strawberry and I’m set…
Your Aunt thinks like my gram. My gram loves that kind of stuff- social events and things… maybe it’s because she really loves to gossip. >>;
I think both barns work. The first one in a way that’s unique and not a commonly done perspective from behind the flowers, and the second one in a classic way that makes it beautiful.
blissful…
Great pics. Hey with her doing all the work, just enjoy!
Have a great weekend, I don’t no where you find all those barns? LOL!
Looks like a great time to me!! Love all the pics!! Happy friday my sweet one!
your comment about my doggies tickled me! they sure can be little terrors when they are awake! who knew that such tiny things could wreck such havoc!!
the first barn pic. And no, I don’t get tired of the barns
I want to learn how to make a watermelon basket like that.
I can’t wait to see more pictures! When is your coffee table book coming out? Hehe!
Lovely pictures! I like the last one the best!
I love all your photo’s – I am partial to the ones of Cooper in them – “more watermelon please” Your Aunts not Martha Stewart or someone like that is she?….- hey didn’t you know that lack of a nap intensifies energy in little kids? Have a great weekend – remember to watch the meteor shower Sunday night
I’m sure you know the way sunflowers follow the sun with their little faces? So, they are different at all times of the day. I hope you get out there and snap more pictures of them! Yeah, my little grandson gets SO wired up when he misses naps. I don’t know how they keep going! Have a very fun weekend! Peace
Didn’t know Martha Stewart was your aunt, hehe.
Looks like a nice shindig, that’s for sure.
I love the second barn picture. I mean, they are all spectacular, but since you asked…
Have a wonderful day, sweetie.
Big hugs,
L
Love the sunflower picture!
Nice Barn. It explains Ben’s “Farmer Tan”
You are quite the photographer! I look forward to seeing more!
I like the second barn pic better but they’re both great. Also really like the swing set and the hand in the water. Very cool.
LOVE the watermelon basket!!! So cool!! I like the first pic of the barn.
