Welcome to my weekly update for August 17, 2015!
I haven’t gotten too much reading done this week, but we are busy enjoying the summer weather. I have a bit of trivia for my Walking Dead friends: Norman Reedus was in the area today. At least one of my Facebook friends was lucky enough to have her picture taken with him. How cool is that?
Yesterday my dad and I went to a “Beginner Outdoor Photography” class. I found a wildlife education center that’s sponsored by the state and provides different classes like this for free. I signed us up for this class as part of his Father’s Day present. We learned a lot and had a good time doing it! My husband and I disagree about which of these is my best shot from the class. What do you think?

Wow that class sounds awesome!!! Both photos are really well done, but I love the second one. Very moody.
Also Norman Reedus!!! Eek! I would love to meet him. I am jealous. Lol.
I love the pictures. I read like mad last week and I am struggling to do more than 100 pages a day this week.
They are both awesome, but I love the second one best…the dew feels alive.
Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog. Enjoy your books!
I like both the pics but love the second one just like Greg above, so that's two votes for that one. Enjoy the summer weather so you have great memories of it when winter hits!
The summer weather has been nice here, although the last two days have been hot and muggy. Can't believe how fast August is going. Your photography class sounds cool- both pics are nice, although if I had to pick i might go with the water drops.
