Rainy Holiday Parade...and Traditions

My photo assignment today was to take a photo that embraced the theme of "traditions."   Each year our community has a parade that includes silly things--dolled up golf carts, dogs in bicycle baskets, and walkers with flags.  This year was a rainout--but I still found the beauty in the day.  Happy 4th of July!

Today is Day 3 of my Picture Summer Class

I'll add my day one and day two pictures too, just so I can get caught up--then watch for a lull midmonth when my camera and I (with the kids!) head to the Gulf coast of Florida for a shooting good time! (I mean that in the nicest way!)

Our assignment was to center something--mathematically speaking! I'm very off center, so this is a tough one for me, but I gave it a go!

Day 2 was a "splashy" photo, and since my children are home sick, I used an oldie but goodie!

And my first assignment was to take a picture of what summer represents to me. This again was tough because my kids were home sick, but we did our indoor version of an ice cream stand!
