Thursday Doors – Remember The Alamo

It’s been a while since I came across any doors impressive enough to post on Norm’s Thursday Doors, but this one definitely deserves a mention. The entrance to the church at The Alamo in San Antonio, Texas.

June Squares – Texas Roofs

This week’s entry for Becky’s June Squares features some interesting roofs that we discovered while visiting Texas last week. The first is at The Bishop’s Palace in Galveston; the second is in McGovern Centennial Gardens in Houston; and the third is at the Miller Outdoor Theater in Hermann Park, Houston.

More about our Texas trip in upcoming posts.  For more on Becky’s June Squares go to Algarvian Roofs

My next entry for Becky’s June Squares is the ornate roof at the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Bartlett, Illinois.  And yes, the sky really was that blue!

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge – The Path Taken

This week, Cee has given us plenty of scope for the Black & White Photo Challenge with the topic Ground: Sand, Dirt, Grass and Paths. I was particularly drawn to the last on the list so here are a few paths that I have taken. The first two, more formal paths, can be found at the Chicago Botanic Garden.

 

The paths at Arches National Park in Utah were a little less structured.

And the ones at Alta in Utah were downright rugged!

June Squares – Roofs

I thought I’d try something different in the way of photo challenges and this one is from Becky who is looking for photo squares.  This month’s topic is roofs so I’m starting out with an image that was captured at The Botanic Gardens in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Waving the Flag

This week, the flags are flying for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge.  The first three images were captured in Chicago, one at the Tall Ships Festival at Navy Pier and two at Wrigley Field.

Next we travel up to the Maritime Museum at Sturgeon Bay in Wisconsin.

A little closer to home, flags add a festive air to the carnival at Melas Park in Mount Prospect, Illinois.

Two events in Skokie, where flags of many nations are prominently displayed. The first at Skokie North Shore Sculpture Park and the second at The Skokie Festival of Cultures.
