I really liked this prompt, and if I wanted to, I could share fifteen different photos for it. As it is, I’ll narrow it down to, like…seven.

The weather this past couple of weeks has been really nice and mild, and we’ve had a few days of rain storms. So, the grass that had been drying out and turning brown (and what it would look like for all of August, usually), turned mostly bright green again.

Also, the kids, since just before school started, have been crazy about swinging on the swing set. Every day, they want to swing. The day I took these action shots is the day the oldest was at a play date with his best bud, so the girls were doing crazy “stunts” on the swings.

I also took these shots of Erv’s boots and this plastic gardening fork sitting in the wheelbarrow and a little leftover rain water.

Then because I couldn’t help myself, I tried to get shots of the dewdrops and spider webs (that are everywhere) in the morning.
