TIME TO SELECT YOUR FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPH!

It has been a busy week as usual for me. Now my focus is to start the process of getting ready for Fall and Winter. I finally got my tractor fixed, although I will do some maintenance before the snow comes. I have started putting away gardening related things. My biggest project is to get my wood supply split and stacked in the woodshed. I am also working on piles of scrap wood from a pallet mill and get it cut and stacked under cover. I do sort through it and save nicer pieces of wood for craft projects.

Once we get into September our Fall rains can begin anytime. August has been an interesting month because we have received a lot of rain for normally a month when we see no rain. I am not complaining, yet I feel an urgency to get things done early this year just in case Winter arrives early.

Before I get into this weekends photographs I wanted to share with you a new initiative started for @schoolforsdg4. I have supported this project for some time and like this new initiative. @azizbd, the founder of the school has "created the school's support page on patreon". @azizbd, on @schoolforsdg4 Discord Server further indicated: " I really need suggestion if any of you have expereince with it and how to manage it effectively. I am expecting to raise supporters there and raise fund at least $500 monthly. If we get 500 Supporters, it will be 1$ monthly for each person (example). https://www.patreon.com/schoolforsdg4"

"Become a patron of School For SDG4 today: Read posts by School For SDG4 and get access to exclusive content and experiences on the world’s largest membership platform for artists and creators."

I have become a patron and hope those who can afford a small amount ($1, as mentioned by @azizbd) will try and support them.

The above photograph of this beautiful red rose is all the more beautiful with the waxy appearance of the leaves. I hope you enjoy.

This next photograph is a different angle of the bridge I have shared previously from the Japanese Gardens at Manito Park, in Spokane, Washington. In someways I think it would have been a great first photo because it would like you were entering a flower garden, given the photographs that follow. But the red rose won out.

This next photograph of the daisies I took of my daughter's flower garden:

My next photograph looks like it might be from the the daisy family, although I am not sure what flower it is. I just know the orange color with the lighter center is quite striking.

I obtained the following photograph off of one of my trail cams. I found it interesting with the sun coming up, depicting a bright new day for this young deer.

This year I have one of my best plantings of Sunflowers. It has been maybe 5 years since I had such a nice patch to enjoy, and now share with you. I am taking photographs of them daily. There are so many variations. I have to watch for the birds because when the seeds ripen they will come in and clean me out. I want to save as much seed as I can. I hope you enjoy today's choice of Sunflower (sunshine in the form of a flower):

This brings us to a close for this weekends photographs. I trust each of you found at least one of the photographs that pleases you.

I am using a Canon EOS Rebel T5 for all of these photographs, except where noted.

NAMASTE
