Race

Mark was in a bicycle race yesterday. He came in eighth!



Here he is, on the right, kind of at the back of the pack. This was at the beginning of the race.




Mark's number was 123.





Struggling up the hill on the last lap, getting close to the finish.








After all the effort, he was still smiling.

Sunflowers

I know it has been a while. I have been taking pictures, but I have not continued to do a new type of picture each month. In May (or was it June?) when I was doing portraits I found myself seeing things that would make good pictures and thinking, "Well, but it's not a portrait" and then not taking the picture. Also, we've had a lot going on and other priorities, so I have not spent a lot of time on photography this summer.



That's not to say I haven't been taking pictures, however. The part I haven't been spending time on is the uploading, editing and posting. So I will try to get caught up in the coming weeks by posting pictures I've taken this summer. I'm starting with these sunflower shots which I took just this week. Hope you like them.
