Allegheny River & Samuel Justus Trails. Not too far from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
I know. I promised us all a break. It’s coming. Soon. I have this fabulous internet connection for the next few days so I thought I’d take advantage of it.

This week’s photo challenge from The Daily Post is Faces. This seems like a good time to share the assortment of gnomes and other creatures I have left over from this summer’s adventures.

A rainbow of colors
Karma’s August Photo Hunt challenge is to show summer in a rainbow of colors, photos representing the prominent colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. I have all the colors covered in the one photo above. Our spinners don’t come out until the summer months, and this one has all the colors of the rainbow included in its design.

Somewhere on the south side of Pittsburgh just after sunset
My day is filled with family. I’ll be back soon.
P.S. I met my outdoor commitment today by going out and doing some clean-up after last night’s storms which were strong enough to knock over a heavy, concrete bird bath.

Hiding in the colorful balls
The Weekly Photo Challenge for this week is Colorful. I have quite a few colorful photos from our trip to Pittsburgh and Idlewild with our granddaughters and their parents. While some of these are not the best photos, they do meet my criteria (they are colorful and they don’t show too much, or any, of the girls’ faces).

Way back in the beginning of May, M and I took a trip out to New Jersey and Pennsylvania. While we were in Pennsylvania, we spent a morning hiking in Lancaster County. One of the areas where we hiked was Shenk’s Ferry Wildflower Preserve. The main wildflower trail is approximately one mile long, and an easy hike. One could probably hike it fairly quickly if one didn’t want to stop, look at, and photograph all the flowers.
