Kenny Revisited

First Bloom

I'm afraid that this might be a boring continuation of last Monday's post.  But here are more Kenny 365 photos.  It is not always easy to come up with a new photo 365 days a year.  Luckily I only have to capture Fridays. The top photo is the first bloom on one of my orchid plants.  I have two and now I have 30 blooms and counting.  Orchids are so amazing.

Here are more photos in no particular order.

I'm keeping Up with Kenny...

By now most of you probably already know about the community photo project I'm involved in. I had a little fun in the backyard with the top photo. The scoop is I take a photo each week somewhere in the Kenny neighborhood where I live. A photo is posted on our website 365 days a year.  That is a lot of photos.  Here are a few more of mine...

The only gator you'll find in our neck of the woods.

How long has this dude been sitting here????

Ground Cherry

Hana

Lunch

A new Moon.

A new dried Fall bouquet.

 A public hanging.  There goes the neighborhood.

Do you see the skyscraper weed?

Someone has been chewing this pumpkin.  Hmmm.  Who would do a thing like that?

A wooden star.

My crafty purse sewing project.

My first book made the cut!

My inlaws Jim and Patt!

P.S.  I just passed 50,000 blog visits.  Hooray!

Kenny Lives Another Year!



The Kenny 365 neighborhood photo projects has continued for another 365 days.  And of course I'm still a part of it.  Do you have a photo project in your neighborhood?  Well, you should.  Neighbors pick a day and document everyday life through all the seasons.  Rain or shine.  I just found out today that I've submitted 55 photos so far!  I had a little fun with some sticks in my backyard for the top photo.  I love it when creativity strikes!














You would probably need to be a Kenny resident to be interested in visiting our website.  But here it is www.kenny365.org

Check out my hood...

The Kenny 365 (days) photo project is quickly approaching full circle.  And I think it will be continuing for another year.  You should start one in your neighborhood!  It is a fun way to document life in your neck of the woods.  Every neighborhood photographer catches different perspectives of the place they live in.  And all seasons.  These are my last 9 weekly entries.  And I think it might be my favorite batch.  The first one is last week's Doorstep Dog.  I see him watching the world go by all the time.

Goose JE13.  I caught him with some weed in his mouth.  Call the cops!

These are my orchids.  It was a dark and rainy day so I decided to highlight my beautiful bounty. FYI.  There are 22 blooms between 2 plants right now.  And 5 more buds yet to open.  

The tree trimmers attacked our street on this week.

 I finally photographed some people.

A colorful find.  

Shadows.

Power.

Wind power!

Kenny 365

 The Kenny neighborhood photo project continues.  One photo for everyday of the year.  Until June.  That's when the whole thing started. I've loaded all my entries since my last post.  Starting with the yellow caution tape.  I called this one CSI Kenny.  And joked that it must have been a KILLER party.  Or I suppose it should really be CSI Minneapolis.   

A garbage can with a story.
Kenny Gargoyle.  Its job is to scare off random solicitors and squirrels.
 Frosty appeared after a brief flurry of snow.  Just like magic.

Yikes.  It's us.  We wished our neighbors a Merry Christmas.  One cat is looking one way and the other (looking perturbed) and refusing to look at the camera.  "Mom, this sucks!"  said the cat.

 His eyes are on the sparrow.  And ours are on the feeders.

I should have taken a panoramic shot of this massive oak.  Its branches spread clear across two Kenny homes.

 A little patriotic Fall activity.  The scarecrows are actually bound together with a rope.  The rope prompted me to comment, "The ties that bind a community and a country"  But who knows why the homeowners really tied one on!  

Great idea!

 A late bloomer.  Well, I set up this post so long ago that I've submitted 6 more weeks of community photos since then.  Oh well.  Next time...
