Iowa skies Part II

The other day as I was in leiu to the 'Loo,

the sky was quite inspiring.

So, without ado,

I photographed the rays a-firing

from the clouds of blue (ish).

The End

More bunnies!

Look! I have angora bunnies!

(but no bunny müntschis!)

Sadfaced

Its soooo sad when your brother gets really cool toys for his birthday.

And you get some toys, too.

But not the really cool ones.

And you really wish your birthdays were on the exact same day.

And then your auntie takes photos of you being sadfaced.

So that one day, you may look at them.

And laugh.

Cool do's

Uhhh. Yeah. It got a little late at my sister's house one night.

And the hair got a little out of control.

Are we children of the 80's?

Or what?

Big ol' bunny

The new bunnies inspired the guys to get out their big ol' bunny.

I think this one is Snuff.

Muff was Snuff's sibling...one of them has been history for awhile.

This bunny usually hangs out in its hutch,

but it was fairly calm when E1 brought it inside this fine day.

He's really pretty too...and super soft, even though he's NOT Angora!

Spider boy

Showing me his climbing skills.

Remote Control Plane

My dad got a new toy.

Its a super lightweight remote controlled plane.

He's working on perfecting his skills.

But sudden gusts of wind tend to be a small problem.

Its ended up in a tree a time or two (or ten.)

Off into the sunset it goes....

ooooooooh---Tarzan boys

I learned that these guys can swing on the willow tree in their side yard.

They wanted me to take videos of them, but we settled for a series of photos.

Its all very technical.

You must be sure you have a large enough handful of branches, you see.

Enough so they don't break under your weight.

But not so many that your hands slip off as you're swinging.

THAT would be swinging fail.

Looks like nephew #2 is a little scrawnier than #1.

(His handful of branches is pretty slim!)

Bunnies!

My sister got her boys (or herself!) some Angora bunnies.

This is Fluffy.

He's appropriately named.

But he reminds me of a vampire bunny.

This one is Sheila.

(Shown off by Janine.)

They're both cuddly bunnies...and super cute!

Billy Elliot!

Every once in a while,

I listen to the must-see raves.

Especially when it involves an outing with this group.

Thanks for a great weekend, peoples!

Picnic

We decided to enjoy a break in the rain

and have a picnic on the steps at Trinity College.

A break from chips!!!

But, Alas, it rained on our picnic.

This is during the sprinkle.

Which became a deluge.

We did find cover, and waited it out.

Feet on cobblestone

Must.take.feet.photos.

In Ruins

Found the remains of a church whilst

wandering around a town.

Celtic Cross

We saw some of these in town squares,

but they were rather hard to photograph from the moving car.

So I found a nice quite graveyard.

It fascinated me for quite some time one morning.

While everyone else was wisely sleeping.

Shepherd

We were quite excited to see a shepherd,

his dog,

And his sheep.

All moving across the field.

Girls in Ireland

Sheri S, Sherri H, Kerry S and I.

Howth, Ireland.

July 2010

Sheeps

Yep, Finally. Some Ireland photos.

This one is my favorite. It pretty much IS Irish countryside.

Green. Sheep. Rock fences.
