Time for "Our World" again! This is a wonderful way to find the beauty, the fun, the good and even the bad things about Our World and to share them! Hope you will join us! Click on the link  to go to the Our World site and sign up!!
 It's been hard to capture anything but GRAY this week, but I can always look back and I always love the mountains and, of course, who doesn't have a favorite shopping mall!!!  A beautiful skyline is beautiful even in gray! Hope all of you have a wonderful new week!!

    I like how the umbrellas have popped up like mushrooms at the mall. The gray city scene is soft and lovely. :)

    First shot is spectacular and yes a grey city scape looks gorgeous in it's own way. My favorite shopping centre is called Karrinyup, weird name hey Sylvia, it's got to mean something in Aboriginal haha!

    Nice shots, I love that first one with the mountains and the water. And GameStop is always worth visiting, I'd go to that mall!

    Hi Sylvia! Sorry I haven't commented lately, life has been chaotic for me.

    Love to see photos of your neck of the woods. The first one is definitely my favorite. Take care.

    I love the mountains, so the first shot is my favorite. The city skyline capture is pretty too. The mall looks nice, I am sure the teenagers love it there. Have a great day and thanks for sharing.

    maybe it is because the Belgian skies are often grey that I like the second picture so much?

    By the greenery and flowers, it must be summer, so why is that mom and her little boy dressed for something much colder? I wish you some real warmth. It takes a fair bit to thaw out our bones
