Welcome to my April 2019 Great and Powerful Blogging from A to Z Challenge!

I’ve revealed my theme (A picture-story a day (in the life, so to speak)), and as I have every year, I am going to be blogging my theme letters on the fly – this year I didn’t even plan to do otherwise!  So, here goes nothing 🙂

Today, D is for…Distracted (And today’s April Writing Challenge and the April Photo Challenge themes are: Skinamarinky Dinky Dink, and Cute, respectively.)

Now, I don’t pretend to know what Skinamarinky Dinky Dink means, although I know the song says “I love you”, but I don’t think it’s ever established that “I love you” is what Skinamarinky Dinky Dink means.  But I suppose I could take it at face value, combine it with the Cute photo theme and come up with this:

I’m not sure if that adds up to a true writing challenge, but perhaps the rest of this post will.

I was working at home today, so came to a point this afternoon when I was ready for a break, and a walk in the sunshine.  As with many of my walks, I carry the trust Canon, and as I was walking came to realize that my theme today had to be distracted.  Because I was, distracted, many times.  By what, you may ask?  Well, have a look:

My first distraction happened as I walked down our steps.  Tulips loving the sun!

Then construction – can’t even walk down to the water without running into it these days!

I could have just taken pictures of the flowers, but the fence made a distracting frame.

Never saw this building from the path before – and the bikes were a nice additional distraction.

Not gonna stop to eat these mushrooms…

More construction…sigh…

And finally very much distracted by finding that the herons are back and building their nests.  I, of course, did not have the best lens with me, but I sat for awhile and tried to catch what I could!
