Land

Picture Color | Emerald

Sundays usually find us at church, a grounding part of the week.  I saw this emerald (well, maybe jade is more like it) candle and thought it would be great for today's POTD.  "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." ~Romans 8:38-39

Luxury

Picture Basic | Wide Aperture

We spent the day with our children and my husband's parents to celebrate my husband's birthday.  Dessert options were chocolate satin pie and peach cobbler a la mode.  After a lunch of barbecue and all the sides, dessert wasn't necessary, but it was definitely a bonus.

Make

Picture Basic | Wide Aperture

My son likes to make Lego projects.  This is #12 Grimmauld Place, the former headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.  Harry Potter and his friends used it as a hiding place in some of the Harry Potter books.  It is generally hidden to passersby on the streets.  In the movies, it is revealed as numbers 11 and 13 slide apart.  Looking closely at this model, you can see that it cleverly slides open and closed.

Kissed

Off Prompt

On July 19 Fauquier County lost two community members.  Pablo Teodoro died in a car accident, and Officer Sal Torelli passed away unexpectedly at home.  Officer Torelli was a beloved school resource officer, and Mr. Teodoro was the proprietor of the local Main Street bakery Great Harvest, which opened in 2010.  These signs have been on the windows of the bakery since Mr. Teodoro's passing.  Many people have left heartfelt notes.  In fact, just before I took my picture, someone was leaving a message on one of the signs.

Journey

Picture Basic | Wide Aperture

The people who were on this train most likely made the journey back to Manassas from a day in the Washington, D. C. whether they were working or sightseeing.  So far I'm not having luck in changing the aperture on the new point & shoot camera that we have.  I was hoping that the train in the background would be out of focus.
