Possible

Picture Basic | Black & White 

We woke up to rain on our last day at the bowling tournament.  It's an early start to the day since we have to be at the bowling alley before 8:00 a. m.  Looking forward to seeing what's possible at another new venue.

Tantalizing

Picture Life | Familiar

I am at a bowling tournament this weekend, and while this bowling alley isn't familiar to me, it is tantalizingly close to our hotel.  This will make getting there before 8:00 a. m. tomorrow quite easy.

Serene means calm, peaceful, tranquil, and unruffled.  Reading devotions daily helps to keep me calm and unruffled.

At 4 o'clock I was standing at work, where I am familiar to the students I instruct.  My co-workers are definitely worthy of recognition for helping students to improve their math skills.

I am a familiar sight at my local Giant on Sunday afternoons.  A couple of the cashiers and pharmacists recognize me.  The pharmacists actually know my name without asking, and they even know the time that I generally shop.

Majestic

Off Prompt

I actually went out to lunch today with my mom and one of our bowling teammates.  I also actually did take a picture of my food too.  However, I went to a meeting in the evening and saw that this dogwood is in full bloom.  To me a dogwood in bloom is majestic so this just had to be my POTD.  

"Slender and twisted it shall always be
With cross-shaped blossoms for all to see.
The petals shall have bloodstains marked brown
And in the blossom's center a thorny crown." ~from "The Legend of the Dogwood Tree", author unknown

I like to start the day off with a tremendously good breakfast.  Now that the weather has gotten warmer, I am drinking cold brew coffee instead of hot.  I'm also a big fan of cheesy eggs and hash browns.

I spent the day in Williamsburg with a great group of ladies from my photography group.  I love this blue carriage that I saw several times, and for all I know, its design was avant-garde in the 18th century.

Today we traveled to Williamsburg to meet up with some people from my online photography group.  This collage of images was created for a scavenger hunt for the group.

This is collage of architectural points of interest I found.

Today found us at another restaurant, BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse, to take my mom out for lunch for her birthday.  Hubby and I shared a beer flight and then ended lunch with dessert, a triple chocolate Pizookie.  Nothing makes me smile like chocolate.
