Monday, July 7: Weeds? Or wildflowers? Doesn’t matter, I’m taking a picture.

 
Tuesday, July 8: Drove down to the city to spend some time in my friend’s studio there. Happened to get stopped at a light where I could snap a photo of this sculpture (?) that I’ve driven by a lot but never had a chance to study. Also note the very colorful hotel in the background; I want to see more buildings like this.

 
Wednesday, July 9: Home from my ladies group meeting on a hot steamy night. Sundress is one I kept from my mom’s wardrobe when my brother and I cleaned out her house after she passed in 2016; the cardigan is older than that.

 
Thursday, July 10: Sometimes the view is so pretty when I’m driving home that I have to stop in the pullout and take a picture.

 
Friday, July 11: Sat out on the steps at the side of the house to paint my toenails. Blessed to have this view.

 
Saturday, July 12: I didn’t quite get the focus right on this thistle picture, but it was still the best one I took all day.

 
Sunday, July 13: In contrast to Wednesday, when I put on makeup and got dressed up a bit, this day I stayed home bare-faced and looked like this at the end of the day. I’m hoping I’ll live long enough to look back at this and marvel at how young I looked when I was 63.
