We've been having wonderful weather for the holiday weekend. Somehow it didn't even get quite that hot here on Saturday though not far away it hit a record-breaking 99 F. We've had a pretty quiet time. Watched some Wimbledon tennis, sad that Maria and Rafa both lost, watched and listened to baseball games. Tonight I guess it will be fireworks on TV.
Meanwhile I've been working on more of the July scrapbooking challenges. I've done two with photos of the American Robin nest that was built on a window ledge next door. It was on the 2nd-floor opposite one of the windows of our guest room. Two days I set up with the window and screen open to take some shots. They didn't seem to mind, but the day the little ones were out on the ledge I was afraid to disturb them. The first one has two pictures I've been dying to team up. They are in an
Ostash challenge to use at least six of a list of ten elements. The other is for a
web inspiration challenge based on an elegant wall display.
