Project 360: Week 26

{175} After a full day of babysitting, this is about the most creative photograph I could muster. :)

{176} Lovely zinnia.

{177} Had some amazing finds at the local bargain outlet. Blue Skies Tomorrow: the third book (that I haven't read yet!) in a WWII series I love. Summer and Bird: a book with a gorgeous cover that I pinned months ago (no, I'm not fond of birds. But look at it! It's beautiful). The Rise and Fall of Mount Majestic: a book I hadn't heard of, but Brett Helquist illustrated it. He did the incredible illustrations in the Series of Unfortunate Events books.

{178} Someone let us borrow The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the series from the 80s. After the first episode or two, I was like, eh. But they started getting better and better! I'm really enjoying them so far, and I love getting to watch adaptations of some of the stories I'd never even heard of before. But don't worry...BBC's Sherlock is still my favorite. :) I think what this series is lacking is the emotional impact that Sherlock has. {Particularly the episode "The Final Problem," which is the equivalent of the Sherlock episode "The Reichenbach Falls." There's no comparison, really.}

{179} A coreopsis bloom. (I think? Some of these sprang up from a wildflower mix my dad planted.)

{180} I am a bit obsessed with this particular zinnia. It's like an inch and a half thick and so fluffy. :) I have to pet it when I walk past it in the garden.

{181} My macro setting is not cooperating today...it seems that happens a lot when it's sort of cloudy and overcast.

Until next time,
