Carolyn - July 2011 Assignment

Things that make me happy.  One of my favorite places to visit is NYC.  This photo I took while on the train heading into the city. 

Neon Lights.  ( My children just love seeing this bridge, it means we are almost to Grandma's house! )

Garden Tool - I had the pleasure of traveling to Lancaster PA this past week.   It was really neat to watch the Amish work on their farms in their "Gardens"  

A Snack 

Jana- July 2011 Assignment

So.. I just couldn't seem to get out there and get all of those scavenger hunt photos! I thought about what I wanted to do for ages, and the creative process was lots of fun - I'm sorry I didn't actually follow through with it.. I did get the following four photos, so I suppose you can score me a 40% and a C for effort :)
