Such a nicely planned trip. If we were closer, I'd be devo0uring all the details to go there, Exactly how we do our own Fourths. Quiet please, Yes! :cool:

Love how you used the blueberries as an element, the yellow splatters, and the red ribbon ties two round photos together.

Love your use of white space. ;)

Beautiful! The photo, the framing and the page design. Love the wild twig with yellow leaves on the left and the torn paper background.

After two months our canna had grown to almost five feet tall and was bearing its first fruit. Wikipedia listed 14 uses for the canna, from food to fiber to dye to insect repellant. Since the eye-level flowers were just outside our door, we got lotsof chances to study them for the first time.

Wonderful ART eye as always! Congratulations on the Standing O.

Wonderful selfie with cat. My favorite photo ever of you, and life is better when your cat loves you. ;)

Of course we're a train family, as you know, and your pages made me think of the most meaningful train heritage place we've seen, and we've seen our share. It's Golden Spike National Historic Park at Promontory Point in Utah. You should go! :D

So powerful and timely. I feel this and in my way am in the fight and putting out the message, of what it was like to be ten and repeatedly violated. My own mother called me a liar. We fought and thought we had this fixed. Its so sad to have to keep fighting. And to have to fight for democracy...

Love the silhouette and the silver fx on the logo. And the buttercup is perfect. It's always a better day if you can see it on the bike. And wonderful that the heron stayed. Lucky, lucky you! ;)

Note to self to use Alfresco when I find some photos. We did that backyard wildlife habitat thing in the 90's and went through your trials for years before my mindset matched the reality. Amazing the volunteer black walnut tree is huge now, and so many good things from wildlife's droppings. It...

Love your photo treatments, typography and overall design. Beautiful!

Wow! LOVE the vid, and the QR is such a great element. It adds so much more to your page, and I love your use of color. Niiice! ;)

It just twists up my stomach to think about this. But your page is excellent as always.

What a wonderful excuse for a little joy ride, and a super presentation of the history.

Love your page design and blending of your photo. And what an easy bird to learn. :D
