June Theme Day - Tranquility




What to do, what to do? It's Friday which means one of my new favorite theme days Friday Fences and it's also the first of the month which means "Theme Day" for our City Daily Photo group. CDP is the reason I started my photo blog in the first place so of course I am loyal to them first and I think I missed out on last month's theme day....this month's theme is "Tranquility". Last weekend, my husband was out of town and Ashlyn was off doing something with friends, you know teenagers with cars, they are never home...so anyway, the Buchanan Theater, my most favorite little theater in the whole world was playing Red Tails. This is a movie my boys had really been wanting to see. We had no plans, no where to be, no one expecting us to be somewhere so we had all the time in the world. We drove the 20 minute drive up to Buchanan and got there about a half hour early just so we could walk around downtown. I love Buchanan's downtown and even though all the cute little antique shops were closed, it was a warm summer's evening with some humidity hanging heavy in the air and my boys obliged me by walking up and down Main Street until the ticket booth opened.

Originally I had intended to use this photo for Friday Fences and as I realized that it was the first of the month and that I also needed a "Tranquil" shot, I decided this works for me. This breathes "tranquility" for me. It was such a wonderful, lazy summer's night, just me and my boys. :)

And a bonus shot of my boys from that night :)



As this post goes live, I'll be on our way to Jamestown with Braden and Dalton's 4th grade class. I won't get much of an opportunity to visit with you all on Friday but will try my hardest to get my visits in over the weekend!! Have a safe and fun weekend :)

  6. Looks like the fence is used to keep people from traveling down a cliff. Have a great time in Jamestown, I remember reading about that place in grade school.

  10. Your fence photo say "tranquility" without even a stretch, Tanya. Can just imagine strolling down this peaceful street in the evening. And I'll bet there's a nice garden behind this fence?

    Three cute movie "dates". Love that red hair. I too want to see "Red Tails" and am excited that it's available to rent real soon. What were their reviews?
