Lelly came up with an awesome set of SPT challenges for July:
"to help channel our personal chi, let's take time this month to focus on the 5 elements of summer: sun, water, shade, grass and ice cream!!"
This week the focus is on SUN!
Living in New Mexico, I see plenty of sun. Albuquerque boasts an average of 310 days of sunshine a year! There's so much sun, that our airport is called the Sunport.
Our state flag consists of a Zia sun symbol.
Here's a self-portrait of me in front of my old street sign. In case you've never tried, it is really hard to take a picture of yourself and get the top of street sign in the same shot!
So here's a shot my daughter took.
We used to live on Flor del Sol street.
- which means Flower of the Sun,
AKA Sunflower!

Sis in law in ABQ! Love the signs and the flag information. Love NM too. My grandmother grew up in Silver City. Like I have mentioned on a few other of the SPT contributers... I am SO missing my western roots. (Tucson)
Thanks for the spanish lesson. I wouldn't have figured it out otherwise. I keep telling myself I will learn, but haven't quite done it yet! I have to admit, I do a lot of take my Self portrait for me's!
Once again I have learned something new on SPT day. That is a lot of suns.
