Round Robin Challenge-Growing

Right after reading what the new photo challenge was, we were out on the deck watching the activities of some robins and soon discovered they had growing babies in their nest on top of our rose arbor. The digital camera didn't have enough zoom to get the babies recorded so off to the store for real film and dusted off our SLR and zoom lens. It was fun to use that camera again and even though a little grainy with the enlargement, the so ugly they're cute baby robins got captured on film.
Some other pics we had from last summer fit the bill, too. We had a growing Lungwort plant and growing kitttens. One even seemed to be growing from a flower pot!

Round Robin Challenge-Floating

We found the black swan floating in a pond at a Buddhist Temple on Ohau.






The lily pads were floating at Powell Gardens near Kansas City, MO



The floating clouds provided a nice backdrop to the Waikiki Skyline.
