My Week in 5 Photos (New!)

For the past 25 weeks (wow--time flies crazy-fast!), Friday's been the day that I post Joyful Reads for the Weekend, and while I'll continue to collect and share thought-provoking pieces from super-talented writers, I also want things to stay fresh and new around here.

So, I'm adding a new Friday feature: "My Week in 5 Photos." It'll be a way to share what I've been noticing...studying...appreciating, in this little corner of the world.

I'm not dropping Joyful Reads, but I'm not going to adhere to a strict Friday schedule, either. I want to go where the whim of the week takes me! If I find five fabulous posts that I cannot wait one more week to share with you, you'll see them here. And if I take five photos that perfectly encapsulate the week, that's what you'll see. Deal?

(And by the way, yes, I know this post has six photos--I'm bad at math, but not that bad! I just needed a pretty pic to lead off the post.) So, here goes...

1) Right after Lilacs, I think Bleeding Hearts are my favorite flowers. Those mini heart shapes...oh my goodness! So sweet...

2) I continue to be amazed by ants and their...antics (too much? I couldn't resist!). Here's one guy bridging the gap...

3) I knew that peaches had fuzz, but tomatoes? News to me! Macro lenses can be very educational...

4) I know we're not supposed to "covet thy neighbor's stuff", but just look at this tree! I covet my neighbor's tree. Can you blame me?

5) While it may look like my daughter is crying in this picture, she was actually just "having a think" in the warm sunshine. Always a good way to spend a quiet afternoon...

I hope you have a picture-perfect weekend!
