Five on the 5th - June 2011

It is the 5th of the month, time for Stephen Chapman's Five on the Fifth posts. I am a tad late, because I was working on the photos, which I just took last night. This month, Stephen suggested the theme, "New." Last night, I went to my niece's dance recital, and took pictures. It was darling, with plenty of kids of all talent levels.

Dancing on point is so pretty.

I love the motions of the dresses.

Five on the 5th - Reminder for June

I received notice from Stephen Chapman about the latest edition of Five on the 5th. So I just wanted to take a moment to give a heads up with plenty of notice so everyone can take advantage of the opportunity! In case you are not aware, the site has a new look, which you can see by clicking here.

This Sunday, '5 on the fifth' returns. Take 5 photographs over the next few days and publish those on your own blog and then add the link to my blog so that others can see your images. If you don't have a blog, Stephen will be glad to host your pictures on his blog.

You can either take 5 random pictures or follow this months theme (of which there are 2 from which to choose): NEW!

When you are living on a farm, you might look up to the cupola of the barn and see a bird or two there.


You might also look up to the top of the privacy fence around the manure pile, and see something growing.


If you look even higher, the hawks circling the area looking for food is not unusual.


Visiting my sister's house in New Jersey, you can look up through the trees and catch the sky.


Sometimes you can get lucky, and catch a bee flying next to a bird perched on the barn roof.
