Couple more from MN Zoo

I entered a couple photos in a contest at the MN Zoo.  I'll know in a couple weeks if I make it to the finals.  Then voting starts on facebook.

Through the leaves

Tennis court

More from the Capitol

The building......

And more GREEN.....

Wisconsin Capitol

We visited the Wisconsin Capitol Building in Madison last weekend.  I found some green there too.....

They plant this star shaped flowerbed on the north lawn every year to honor those lost at war.

Octopus

Came across this GREEN critter outside a car wash in our travels this weekend. 

And the trees

The trees that surround that lake in yesterday's photo.

A little pink....

But mostly GREEN muck in the lake at the zoo.

Going Green for August!

During the month of August I am participating in National Blog Posting Month's challenge.

The theme this month is GREEN so I'll be attempting to post a daily photo of something green on my blog.

 

While riding on the freeway today I was determined to get a photo of an exit sign.  I finally did after about 10 tries.  But what I had planned to do while editing wasn't turning out like I'd hoped so I changed it up a bit and went with neon green.

Project Green, Take 4

I didn't realize just how many green items we have around the house until I started looking.

This is my hubby's bike helmet.

Project Green, Take 3

My daughter's favorite color is green so of course she had to have the green ipod with green earbuds and the green glucose monitor. She also sleeps with this green "squishy" pillow on her bed.

Project Green, Take 2

I know the majority of this photo is not green but I just really like the color of the green ball. I tried to crop in a variety of ways but I just didn't like any of them so I left it as is.

Project Green, Take 1

I've been surfing around lately looking for other photography blogs. I came across Anna Carson Photography. She has a project going now called Project Green where you post a daily green photo. So I thought I'd give it a try, I'm always looking for ideas and new things to photograph.

I took this one over the weekend before I even knew about the challenge.

I have a couple more I may post but now I need to see what else I can come up with.
