Happy Trails... by Weezilou

Happy Trails...


The vacation was over for our new friends, Tom and Kelly, John & Eva. We said our good-byes and Ken took a photo of us. It wasn't until he turned the back of the camera to me, to ask if I liked the picture, that I realized we were nearly all in red. Good enough for the theme! Instead of hunting for something more visually interesting or arty, I set my camera aside and decided to stay around the house. Think of today's picture as though you were just looking over my shoulder as I saved this to my personal album.

I made a batch of pancakes and then spent the rest of the day at the computer. It was a pleasure to spend time with you all again!

Tomorrow: Breakfast Club and an afternoon of blueberry picking. The computer needs time to cool down...
Very cute. You could call this the boy in the yellow shirt.

You all look so coordinated----planned or not! Your summer has certainly been blessed with many special people (animals too).
August 29th, 2010  
Ooh love this :)
August 29th, 2010  
i adore shots like this that are snapshots of a moment in our lives... a lot of times i think these are better than anything you can plan out!
August 29th, 2010  
Great shot. How funny that you all (or most of you) happened to be wearing red for the photo!
August 29th, 2010  
How perfect!
August 29th, 2010  
you'll always remember the red theme when looking back at this.how perfect.
August 29th, 2010  
Lovely photo and great for the theme!
August 29th, 2010  
A very good looking family (and friend!)
August 29th, 2010

Very cute photo! :)

Awesome group shot! Have fun berry-picking tomorrow. We will be driving home from our beach vacation. Thank you so much for your comment on my red glasses. I too fav a lot of photos, but my theory is that it's easy to find something among my favs but hard to go back and find it in it's original posting.

You know...I've been wanting pancakes ever since Eva made them for you all the other day. I may just have to make some tomorrow...lol. This is such a wonderful photo.

Now I know I haven’t been a 365’er long, but it seems to me that strangers who meet you become friends, and those friends become part of your family. That’s quite a testament to you! Great photo!
August 29th, 2010  
great minds think alike, you know! how fun is all that red?! this shot is a fun memory of your newfound friends. i'm quite sure they are richer for the experience of spending time with you!
August 29th, 2010  
Did you send out an invitation to this gathering saying "Please wear red"? Too cute! Love your stories. Thanks for opening the door to your home and the door to your heart once again : )
August 29th, 2010  
How sweet.....I'm sure they will remember this vacation for a very long time!
August 29th, 2010  
Awww, I like how you all match... The yellow pops nicely :D

Pancakes, you say?
August 29th, 2010  
Lovely group shot, and thanks for all of your kind comments Louise. You should change your profile name to 'mum' as you are mum to us all!
August 29th, 2010  
Great group picture...great idea for the red theme!
August 29th, 2010  
More theme-related synchronicity.
August 29th, 2010  
Great shot!
August 29th, 2010  
Great shot for the theme :-)
August 29th, 2010  
Cool shot for the theme and a nice group capture for you to remember
August 29th, 2010  
It was meant to be... The yellow shirt provided the contrast you needed to make the red stand out!! Fun photo of all of you.
August 29th, 2010  
Lovely photo of you all!
August 29th, 2010  
Perfect for the theme...even better that only one T was not red and it matches the headband :) You couldnt have got it better if you'd set it up!!
August 29th, 2010  
Make sure you save some blueberries for pancakes later in the week!

About the cheerleaders: I get nervous when they're doing new stunts for the first time but I make sure that they know what they're doing and we have a lot of people to help catch. I used to be one of the girls that would "fly" the stunt so I relate to the fliers now. They work hard and trust each other, which makes all the difference.

Great picture. Lovely coincidence. J
I actually thought it was a snap of a football team with a small goalie from the thumbnail!
August 29th, 2010  
the red portrait..... =)
August 29th, 2010  
thanks for you comment...and i love blueberry pancakes so feel free to send me some! ;)
August 29th, 2010  
happy people........what could be a better subject!
August 29th, 2010  
What a really pretty picture Louise xXx
August 29th, 2010  
Hello, Louise! I'm having 365 with my morning coffee - FINALLY (Must be Sunday!) The first thing I notice about this shot was all the red. What a coincidence! Know you are going to miss your new friends ... will they be back next summer?
August 29th, 2010  
hehehehehe my morning coffee is coming soon. had the morning walk and started the laundry, about to have some oatmeal and then shower THEN coffee while on the way to work. :) Because I know you needed to know how my day was going. hehehehe

adore picking blueberries, or any fruit for that matter. Have fun!!!
August 29th, 2010  
Good photo of all and especially my namesake!
August 29th, 2010  
Blueberry picking? Sounds like heaven! And, I *hope* there's a picture in it!

Rick and I will drive Nique to Oregon the week of September 20th. She will have her introDUCKtion and then it's Welcome Weekend for students and parents with the first day of class on the 27th. She and Rick arrive home on Thursday ...
August 29th, 2010  
BTW, don't know RS, but they're obviously from Grand Junction! Barb and I met for the day - shopping, eating, and a massage! (Thought that would make a good shot, but couldn't figure out the logistics - LOL!)
August 29th, 2010  
How fun! Pass the blueberry pancakes, please.
August 29th, 2010  
What a nice picture to remember your newfound friends with! I like all the brightness in it, both in the shirts and your faces!!
Sounds like you´ll have a great day again tomorrow too. Enjoy!
August 29th, 2010  
Pancakes? Did you use Eva's recipe? All that Lunenberg Red makes me think that Lunenberg must cast a spell over its inhabitants by the time they're ready to leave. :-)
August 29th, 2010  
yea for theme red:)
August 29th, 2010  
Lovely photo of you all . you will miss them! Enjoy your pancakes in the morning
August 29th, 2010  
Wonderful image....and funny that you were all wearing red. haha! That seems to happen. It must have been red day! :)
August 29th, 2010  
mmmmm i love blueberries on my ice cream. and yes i see someone else likes the 7th and main sculpture!
August 29th, 2010  
Lol Louise,,,you are the only one that red the paper. I was taking notes on a how to page on photography. When I looked for a paper to put an F on, it was all I could find laying around. Too funny isn't it.
August 29th, 2010  
Great family picture.
August 29th, 2010  
Aw, it's sad to see them go!

And in reply to your comment on my picture...when I first got a dslr, I thought I'd really miss the screen! (i borrowed my uncles which had no live view) and so when I bought mine, i made sure I have one with live view...but I hadn't realised until yesterday how much i look through the viewfinder rather then looking at the screen and I really missed it!
August 29th, 2010  
what a beautiful RED photo, it's nice to just stay at home sometimes, for a change, i do that to, especially when I already have that photo in mind....
August 29th, 2010  
this is a great picture! Love all the red shirts and the happy faces!
August 29th, 2010  
Guess John didn't get the memo haha! Did you use your new pancake recipe?
August 29th, 2010  
Love it !!!
August 29th, 2010  
this is such a lovely photo! goodbyes aren't forever though, that's okay. :)
I think it's awesome that almost all of you all were wearing red. lol it's so cute! :D
August 30th, 2010

Can't wait for the blueberry photos :D
