I'm so excited!!! I'm trying something new this month; let me introduce you to the host (each Thursday for the month of August) over at Create a Connection for Photo Thursday: me!!!

Go check it out, and please play along if you're so inclined! Just leave a comment there if you play so others can come visit you :-)

Also, while I have your attention about Create a Connection, I'd like to tell you a bit about Melba's other efforts. Melba is the creator of not only Create a Connection, but of justBe...connected and The Creative Bazaar

If you click on the justBe link...you'll see she's organized a gathering for creative bloggers this coming October...and it's going to be located in my home state, down the cape, Hyannis to be exact. There will be a craft fair and workshops, friendships (old and new), food and fun! I hope to go down on Saturday to meet up with DebR, among others...LOVE the cape in the fall!

Anyway, on to my entry for Photo Day Thursday!

Once you get to know me, you'll know that "fun" is a top priority in my life. Maybe this makes me simple...maybe this makes me smart...who knows!

This week, I'd like to see you post a picture of what is "fun" to you! This could be watching the waves roll in on the beach or eating an ice cream cone or seeing your dog/cat/kid/significant other smile or knitting something or reading a book or cooking dinner for your family or yourself! There are so many fun things in life...and you know, life is too short not to get out there and enjoy those things! So...go ahead and show me what you enjoy, what you consider fun--I want to see!

Here are my pictures of things I consider fun:

Fun! And funny :-)

A stack of books, just waiting to be read...WICKED fun!

Captain Jack Sparrow AND the ocean...swoon-worthy fun!

Stopping to smell the flowers...enjoyable fun (as long as no bees are sharing the flower with your nose)!

My Wolf...a fun dog

Being pulled along on a tube - FUN!

Getting to see a GREAT movie for free, and collecting poppets - FUN!

Rumor is having fun!

So many ways to have fun...so little time! Show me how you have fun!

Ok, I played. :)

What a great list of Fun Stuff!! (You got to see Stardust? How?? Advance screening? It isn't out yet, is it? Or maybe it just isn't out here. Sigh...)

I just went through and looked at the photos and posts and stuff you did while I was gone and I'm not going to go back and comment on them all, but your photos - Wow!! They are SO great!

Yay I played!

Thanks Janet~
For being the host and for offering up some great fun photos here!
Hope to see you in October...that would be fun!
XO,
Melba

Oh dear you, you allways share high quality photos, words and thoughts.
That's why I'm steadily come back and visit your site. You simply give me content to life;)))

This is a great post.

Nice pictures. I did realize you posted all these. I just did one!!

Fun photos...is that YOU being pulled by the boat?! Love your book pile, I love Grafton too...

I've been too busy to play anything lately...what with shooting out of helicopters, going into a burning building and almost having my finger tip cut off on a job!!!

Looks like some fun stuff! How's the shooting coming along lately?

You have so many wonderful choices here. Wolfie is adorable, as always. :)

I finally have my choices up- and like you I couldn't pick just one.

Janet,
Lovely photos --- and the ones of the girls in the post at the top are just as nice too! There's a joy in the eyes of little children playing that lights up a photograph! And your wolf has that same joy:-)

N.

I think I've posted this here before- I'm so not a dog person but there is something about your dogs that totally makes me wish I knew them- they are fun!
