weekly winnerage!

I have taken thousands of photos since the last time I posted weekly winners, so it's gonna be tough to figure out which ones to use -- and really, since I have so many to choose from, you all are probably gonna expect really amazing and awesome photos, no? I hope I do not disappoint...


Weather in August. Definitely not in the desert any more...

fireweed. when the blooms reach the top, summer is pretty much over, and when it turns red, there will be snow in six weeks. that's what they say, anyway

  4. The mountain shot is stunning, and the moose pic, wow! All I get in my backyard are squirrels, and an occasional fox.

  8. Of your weekly winners I think the one of your son and father grabbed me most. Then most pictures of grandparents with grandchildren get to me. The setting is amazing too!

  11. I love all the photos! Glad to see you back up and running. Your new look for your blog is terrific. You've got me thinking about my grandfather and the house he built in Illinois. I may have to scrounge up some old photos and scan them in.

You like me! You really really like me!

Or maybe you just find me horribly annoying and are about to let me know. Go ahead, I can deal.

So, whatever, you know, leave a message. Thanks!!!
