So excited to join Saturday Celebrations with Ruth Ayres!
It is fun to live my week thinking about what I will celebrate on Saturday.
I celebrate an active week filled with adventure, talking,
a bit of shopping, and lots of walking while visiting my daughter in NY.
I walked to the Farmer's Market with my daughter's landlord.
We purchased corn on the cob, raspberries, blueberries, and tomatoes.
Then we enjoyed a delicious lunch with our fresh bounty.

Daughter and I walked to Cayuga Lake and discovered this sign on the way there.
As we walked under an overpass, a beautiful blue heron took wing.
A short bit later, we saw our friend again.
I persisted for some time (33 pics) in order to
capture this butterfly with his/her wings open.
I love the willows lining Cayuga Lake.
On Friday evening we walked downtown to purchase sandwiches
for a picnic and music on the quad with four women fiddlers.
I had to snap a pic of daughter with this sunflower, one of her favorite flowers!
After the concert, we enjoyed an evening walk around campus.
We've already walked 9,000 steps this morning
with a stop by Ithaca Falls on the way home.
That's it! I'm off to savor our last day together with brunch,
a stop by Phoenix Bookstore (a used bookstore in a barn),
a visit to the Cornell Library (pictured above with the bell tower),
and a full day of visiting with my daughter.
What a lovely week! Your pictures compliment your words. I especially like the evening sky.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your week in photos and your persistence with the butterfly is perfect. Memories with our daughters are so important. I LOVE sunflowers too!!
ReplyDeleteMother daughter time is so special. What a great week. I love the sign you photographed! And your butterfly photo is wonderful. Wouldn't it be great to share all the misses and that one with students in a conversation about persistence and perseverance?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to share the photos as we talk about perseverance.
DeleteWhat lovely pictures you have here. It sounds like a wonderful week of visiting your daughter in a lovely setting.
ReplyDeleteLoved all the photos! Sounds like you're having a wonderful visit with your daughter. You're doing all the things that I enjoy doing on vacations too!
ReplyDeleteHave fun today! It sounds like you will. I like sunflowers too because even their name sounds like it wants to be more than it is.
ReplyDeleteHope this final day is wonderful too, Ramona. What a terrific week you've had. I'd love to see all those sights too! A bookstore in a barn sounds awesome! I've always been told that when a heron takes flight near you that it's a lucky omen, FYI, & love that you captured that butterfly!
ReplyDeleteThis is a week to celebrate and savor. Sounds simply wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThat school has it's priorities straight! Love it! And what a great idea about displaying he 33 pictures it took to make one beauty. It makes me think of th times writers revise but shown in such a visual way.
ReplyDeleteYour time with your daughter sounds so wonderful and your photos make your celebrations come to life. The picture of the butterfly was worth taking 33 pictures. :)
