This was taken with one shot. No overlapping editing.

Day 188 - Bougainvillea Plant

As pretty as these things are, according to my brother they are extremely difficult to get rid of and grow very fast. I thought it made for a pretty picture though.

A little disappointed I haven't been getting very much "Where I Blog" lovin'. :( Come on, peeps. How about giving us a little glimpse into your space.:)

Day 187 - Juvenile House Sparrow

I had about 10 minutes before we had to leave for church for me to run outside and snap a few photos. Isn't this little guy cute? I just wanna snuggle with him. He looks so cute and fluffy.

Favorite Photo of the Week Winners - Week 6

Well, we had a drop in entries this week but I'm sure it was just because of the holiday weekend. I'm sure I will be seeing lots of patriotic shots in this week's contest.

PLEASE READ:
Unfortunately, some photos had to be rejected for last week's contest because they were taken after the contest's date parameters. To make it easier for everyone, I will start including the dates that the contest runs through. Thank you all for your submissions!

Day 186 - Double Rainbow

Not the greatest picture of a rainbow, but it was the end of the day again and I hadn't taken a picture. I noticed it was starting to get gloomy outside so I stepped out on the balcony and noticed the double rainbow in the sky. It's like God is keeping his promise two-fold. :)

Genesis 9:13-16

King James Version (KJV)

¹³I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
¹⁴And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
¹⁵And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
¹⁶And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

Day 185 - Independence Day

What a privilege it is to be an American! With each pop and crackle of the firework show, my heart burst with pride and thankfulness that I live in the land of the free and the home of the brave!

This was one shot. No overlapping editing done.
