SHS Photo Challenge 27

I am so enjoying the longer days and warmer weather, the tulips and daffodils and singing birds.  
The promise of spring fulfilled once again. 

 This week we were looking for Simple, Grain, Transportation, Stitch and Bubbles.  

1.  Simple
A single branch of  a lipstick plant against an off-white wall . . . love the simplicity of this shot.

 2.  Grain
A trio of grains . . . brown basmati rice, flax seed and my favourite, popcorn.

3.  Transportation
Glad I never had to ride one of these to school every day . . . just the occasional field trip.

4.  Stitch
Found in my friend's sewing room.

5.  Bubbles
My girl was happy to take a break from yard work to blow some bubbles for me.

  4. Woof!
    Bubbles make me tear but I love it.
    And I never knew that there is lipstick plant!
    Does it make the lips green?

  13. I loved this post... so much that I relate to it is almost startling until I see the simplicity of connection and commonality. :) I too have a lipstick plant, popcorn is my favorite choice for snacking, I (unfortunately) had to ride a school bus to school all those years ago, the sign is similar to one in my mother's sewing room, and I keep a bottle of bubbles on my windowsill for moments of playful gratitude. I even tended the garden yesterday - I should have taken a cue from your girl! As always, Andrea, your photos are beautiful and inspiring. Thank you!

  16. I love the school bus shot best. There is a graininess about it that makes it look "sketched" and that is very nice, in my non-artsy opinion. I love that your daughter blew bubbles for you. My son, grandkids and I were at a park and some orthodox Jewish families were playing games and they were blowing bubbles, but I wasn't sure they would want me taking their pictures. They were all dressed in black and the men were wearing yamakas. It would have made quite a picture, but I was too fearful of making a cultural faux pas.

    Thanks for stopping by my place and giving me your much-appreciated welcome home.

  25. I, too, love that Sewing sign --- especially since I am such a poor stitcher!
    And nothing better than some time blowing bubbles. It didn't take much to keep me amused as a kid --- just a jar of bubble stuff!
