the Weekly Photo Challenge
It runs for one full week from Friday mornings to late Thursday nights.The challenge beginning May 22, 2010 is:“Green”
suggested by ZimboI’ve been out of town. I left home on the 22nd of May and was there through June 13th. I had to date it with photo information because I couldn’t remember it seems a long time ago and I am so glad to be back home with my hubby. I wasn’t planning on so long a stay but I was helping one of my sisters with a book she is writing and I am the more computer oriented and software able. I not only had to organize a word document but I had to learn the latest edition of word so twice the fun.
Anyway, I’m back So, catching up with Zimbo’s challenge, Green. I am using photos from the drive on May 22, 2010 I71 to Columbus, Ohio.
Photos for Green
1- This view is always pleasant and green during the Spring and Summer months. It’s a community we pass on our way to the expressway going North.
2- This McDonalds is a block from where we enter the highway. It’s well kept up and green and flowering. I have taken some fun photos of Ronald McDonald at this spot, Ronald is hidden behind the sign and hedges.
The American Flag always flies at McD’s.
3- We entered the highway maybe 3 minutes ago and here we are stuck in a traffic jam. It was waiting for us and the only green, from where I sit, is the green paint on the Fed X delivery.
4- Lots of green to the left and right and the jam problem came into view a while back. A horsetrailer with horses in it had a blow out on the South bound lane, throwing the trailer into the air so it had to be winched down into this position on the North bound side of the highway.
5- Not the best view of the horse but I can tell you it was quivering all over when we saw it. I think it will be a while before it loads into a trailer, easily.
6- We are out in front of the jam now with the view of green grasses either side of us. The traffic in the South bound is a mess on the other side of the highway and will be for a good while.
7- Wet and green, a branch we cross not far from our destination.
8- We made if, finally about an hour and a half longer drive than usual. A little sitting area in my sister’s garden, surrounded with green. It was the only time I saw it until the day I left to come back home.
9- I did see the views of the flowers from her living room window and the daisies were in full bloom, just beautiful. Our next visit will be to enjoy the flower beds and some outdoor cooking, I hope.
Hoping everyone is well, in good spirits with a beautiful season wherever you are.
Lots of prayers for the environment in hopes of a REAL sollution to clean up the terrible BP oil catastrophe. Will we ever learn?Thanks for your visit and comments.

Guess you have had a busy time but nice to see you back. Looks like a horrible accident. Your sister has a nice green area for afternoon tea. Like the river too. ~ Tim
Really nice greens. I always worry about the horses in those trailers after a bad accident here left several so severely injured that they had to be put down. Thank goodness that one was okay.
@tim_beddard - Thanks Tim, I’m really tired and glad to be back home. Later Dude.
@fetherland - The news said two horses where in the trailer and the way it up-ended I guess they piled one on top of another and had to be scared to death. I’m not sure how many people but some when to the hospital. Scary business driving anything on the road today. Thanks for stopping by. Becca
Thanks for stopping by…I’ll gladly share the recipe with you! I made blue ones the other day…kinda ugly because the batter is very yellow so the blue kinda went sickly. Red might be nice! or just normal food colored. I like your green pics and glad to know you’re home safe and sound.
@ziggswife - yes, would like your recipe and you can post it or send in my messages or whatever is easiest. Let me know if you post it on your site, I rarely get to any entries except for the weekly challenge. I found the recipe on the internet but yours looked like much more fun. Thanks for the comments, always, they are appreciated.
