I am participating in a 52 Week Project with Carolyn (@sixteenmilesout). The project is simple: a list of prompts is provided for the entire year, giving me a week to take a photo for each prompt.

Welcome to the Summer quarter of 2024

July 2024

Minimal | Picnic | Framed | In my Zip Code

Soon, the wheat will be ready for harvest. Until then, we can enjoy the endless expanses of gold with tractor tracks creating a leading line to the tree in the middle of the field.

---

What do you do when planning a picnic and a thunderstorm rages outside? You have a Teddy Bear picnic inside, of course! We are all set up on our quilt on the living room floor, just waiting for the tea to steep. So much fun!

---

This beautiful scene is naturally framed by the trees on either side, with leaves and a rail fence. The soft golden light from the sunrise highlights the tall grass and even the spider webs among them.

---

This is our local sunflower field. I always look forward to this time of year when they open it to the public. They have created a wonderful meandering trail that allows you to walk among the flowers and provides interesting viewpoints for photography enthusiasts.

Macro | In a Pot | A Stack | Where I Live

I saw this unusual iris (iris domestica) in a local garden. I love how the spent flowers twist themselves up!

---

My red prayer plant (Maranta leuconeura) thrives in its new pot. I repotted it in a beautiful, spacious container, providing ample room for its roots to grow.

---

While strolling along the shore, I stumbled upon an inuksuk, a cleverly stacked arrangement of rocks! How amazing!

inukshuk | iˈno͝okˌSHo͝ok | (also inuksuk)
noun: (plural inukshuks or plural inuksuit | iˈno͝okˌSHo͞oit |)

• a structure of rough stones stacked in the form of a human figure, traditionally used by Inuit people as a landmark or a commemorative sign: the figure of the inukshuk is omnipresent in Inuit tradition.

I watched the mist rising from the farmer’s field behind my yard this morning. This is the view from my back fence, with autumn colours beginning to show.

Books | Tea Time | On the Table | Rows | Faceless Portrait

This is one of the bookstores I frequently visit. I am an avid reader but need more room for new books. Luckily, the public library comes to the rescue. I always have one or two books on the go.

---

I love having a nice cup of herbal tea in the afternoon while spending quality time with a good book. Today, I am enjoying a cup of ginger turmeric tea with a bit of honey in one of my fancy teacups.

---

I rearranged the side tables in my living room and moved my Pothos closer to the window. It seems to be thriving in its new spot, don’t you think?

---

Rows and rows of corn are almost ready for the harvest.

---

The weather was perfect to sit in the shade with a good book!

---

It is hard to believe that we are now in the last quarter of the year! Stay tuned and thank you for visiting!
