Everyday Images #68

Welcome to another installment of my challenge and reminder to myself to take photos somewhat regularly. I'm not a photographer, but I enjoy taking everyday photos of things I find interesting or want to remember later, and I find that I notice interesting things when I'm intentionally watching for them. Having some prompts that are open to interpretation has helped me pay a little more attention to what's around me. Every two weeks I have a few words and phrases that I'm focusing on, and I try to find opportunities to take pictures of these things each week.

 heritage - Fallingwater is a UNESCO World Heritage site

open and/or closed - had to think outside the box a little on this one. I realized I had a photo of these flowers (wish I could remember what kind they are) with the blooms open, and since they close up when it's gloomy or dark, I made sure to get a photo of them closed as well.

same planter, blooms closed

yellow - more flowers!

river - I had to choose from among several photos featuring rivers! I thought this one of the Youghiogheny River at Swallow Falls State Park was pretty. I did go to the park website to check the name and make sure I spelled it right! Do not ask me to pronounce it!

middle - another photo from Swallow Falls State Park. This island kind of in the middle of the river reminded me of the Avatar area at Disney World Animal Kingdom.

corner - Everything about a Frank Lloyd Wright building is fabulous, but this wonderful corner windows in Fallingwater's kitchen are especially cool!

And a few bonus photos:

Starting with Swallow Falls State Park in Maryland, which we explored on the first day of our family vacation weekend. 

I'm not sure what was being explained but I love this photo
of my daughter, her boyfriend, and my son

A family tradition: my kids doing an "album cover" pose

My son was trying to set up my phone's camera on a timer so we could get a family photo, and my little granddaughter was trying to help. LOL

We found a very nice lady who was kind enough to just snap the photos for us, and I think that turned out better.

I won't dump another copy of the Fallingwater photos here, since it's featured in two of the prompts above. It did get its own post, after all. Two, actually, since I published it here and on my homeschool blog: A Fallingwater PhotoJournal

We also visited Polymath Park, which will get its own photojournal post soon, but here's a little teaser:

On our way home, we stopped at Wheeling and did a brief explore of the riverfront and downtown area.

And I had the yummiest Cubano grilled cheese, and the best waffle fries I've ever had at Tito's.

Back home!

Also, I'm now the proud owner of an OSU themed cornhole game!

I am sharing my photos every other Thursday, along with my prompts for the next two weeks. You can use all or some of the prompts for your own photo posts, or none of the prompts and just link up a post featuring your photos. Simple rules: Your posts must be family-friendly; the photos must be your own; and the post must be mostly photos. If you do share I'd appreciate a mention and link to A Fresh Cup of Coffee on your post.

Everyday Images will continue in 2025, every other Thursday, and the link-up is open for two weeks. 

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
