Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy...



Strolling along, I spotted this huge, bright orange pumpkin in a flowerbed. Guess it is being groomed for autumn decoration..or maybe a scary smiling Jack O' Lantern?


Gazing up at the gorgeous Colorado sky, I spot this huge sunflower..with a bee!..staring down at me!



..and yet another sunflower, with a bee, blowing in the breeze!
what a wonderful day full of sunshine,fresh air,and wishes that you were with me on this little excursion.
Maybe next time?

♥ hugs and smiles! Lou

    I really do need to have a date with my Sony. I had shoulder surgery a couple of months ago and the camera is still a bit heavy. I do sometimes take my two smaller Sonys out. I'm still thinking about getting a monopod.

    I enjoyed your pictures of the homes and the descriptions you gave. The sunflowers are a day brightener.

    Z~,I graduated from Kodak easy shares up to the nikon almost a year ago. I don't find it to be TOO heavy or bothersome, but then I don' wear the strap! I have arthritis in my shoulder and hands. Have never tried a tripod nor mono pod..
    look forward to flowers soon from me!
    gotta run..
    thanks for the kind comments!!
    smiles!
