May 2 - Skyline

Skyline

Day 2 - May Photo a Day Challenge: Skyline

My family took an overnight drive to Yakima, WA for part of our Spring Break. While there we decided to drive down to Maryhill to see a World War II memorial that is a replica of Stonehenge in England. While driving down Hwy 97 we stopped at this scenic outlook. Mr C had just learned about Washington landmarks in class (they had to make a cookie map replica of the state and use candy for landmarks) and we were happy to see Mt. Adams for the first time. I was even more happy that this shot of Mt Adams had an old house and trees in the foreground. I love taking photos of old homes and trees. I can sit back and let my imagination run wild about who lived there, how did they live and why is it abandoned now. My second favorite types of Skylines is anything with the sun!

May 1 - Peace

PEACE

My oldest daughter, Miss M, is a very peaceful person. She loves anything tie-dyed or with peace signs. We have a peace sign bean bag, peace sign rug and peace sign t-shirts. She's my little hippie.

We recently took an overnight trip to Yakima, WA for a quick get away. We found this wonderful park with a wall full of inspiration and art. This peace sign instantly reminded me of my daughter.

Now I'll need to blog about our Yakima trip!
