ESG: My Favorite Photo - July from Happy Mom

Hello Swappers and Friends!  I'm trying a new layout for this month's Favorite Photo swap.  Your feedback would be appreciated!  I'm not really a blogger, and I'm not very good at working with the layout, so I'm trying to simplify things.  Forgive me if I lose some of the aesthetics in the process!  I hope you like the photos this month - I always love sharing and seeing everyone else's pictures too. 

This month, I'm starting with my favorite pictures of flowers.  I've seen some lovely displays when I'm out and about...but my favorite is one I call my "Fred Rose".  I'll always remember when I called my friend Linda the day my dad died, and within minutes, she was at my house with a rosebush.  My husband planted it for me, and it's done well every year.  My dad died in 2000, but the rosebush lives on!

We pass these when I take my dog on her walk every day.

Also seen when walking the dog.  My neighbors have such lovely flowers!

This next photo was taken when my husband, daughter and I left a local restaurant, and we saw this beautiful rainbow.  So many people stopped what they were doing, pulled out their cell phones and took pictures.  At one point, you could see a complete double rainbow and it was just beautiful!

I took a picture of husband and daughter taking a picture!

  On our way home from dinner, we stopped at Target.  They went in the store, and I stayed outside.  I caught this beautiful sky while they were shopping.

One more sky photo - I'm obsessed!

My final offering this month is one I snagged off Facebook.  The two in the picture are Bryon and Alisha - They are my daughter's friends who moved from Richmond to Virginia Beach to be the worship leaders of a new church there.  They've been married for a few years and I just loved the pictures they shared from a photo shoot they did.  

So -- that's a wrap for this time around!  I hope you enjoyed the photos, and as always, I'd love to see what you shared for your swap, even if we're not partnered on Swap-bot, if you care to share.  Have a wonderful August, and hope to swap again soon!
