Photo Challenge: Play

Time for the latest Brenda Photo Challenge! The subject is Play, picked by the current challenge hostess, Sharon at Funky Fairy Frolics.

Footsie Play - Give me a fresh pedicure, let me slip into my Crocs Scutes, and my feet are ready to party!

happy summer feet
Relaxing Play - For older farts like me and hubby, relaxing is play for us! Three seasons out of the year, the front porch is a regular spot for us to sit and chat. After a hard day’s work with summertime chores, we sip a cold drink and laugh at the flying gymnastics of the hummingbirds gathered around the feeders. We solve all of the world’s problems out there on the porch. If only the politicians would just call us and follow our advice!

Handmade Play - I catch a little stitching time in the recliner while watching TV. I am comfy and entertained. This little redwork birdie will make a really cute Christmas ornament, don’t you think?

  6. WONDERFUL! I never thought about posting what PLAY meant for me and how I do it. I mountain bike, take photos, watch my kids, and watch some football! GREAT JOB! I love the photo of the porch and I could imagine how wonderful it is to sit with an ice cold drink and chat with the man you love.

    and yes that is going to be a beautiful ornament for christmas!

  12. Thank you, Joan! Isn't that nail color pretty? I keep getting it each time I go this year, LOL. And the needlework picture is DONE now! Just need to wash it up, iron it, and then make it into an ornament. That will take me a while, haha!

  13. Thanks, Hallman Tribe! I was bruising my brain trying to figure out how to picture "play", so I just put it in a personal context - relaxing! I thought about adding a picture from heli-hiking, but that deserves a post just by itself.
