Photo Challenge – Simply Red Squares/Hulk Hogan

On By TimelessladyIn photo challenges5 Comments

Both of my sons are now in their mid-forties. No longer boys, but grown men with families of their own. This photo is a reminder of how they loved to mimic boxers and wrestlers when they were young. They would set up rings in the backyard, gather friends, and put on their own wrestling matches. Oh, of course, there were sometimes bumps and scuffles, and perhaps some hurt feelings amid defeat, but I am so glad they spent a good portion of their childhood outside, rather than being glued to a screen.

I was sorry to hear that Hulk Hogan passed away on Thursday. He brought a lot of joy to many little boys, as well as just as many grown men and women. Rest in Peace, Mr. Hogan.

My wrestler with his pop of red gloves is my choice for today’s Simply Red Squares.

Are you like me and remember when these rides cost a dime? I wonder if you now need a credit/debit card to take a ride on this Fire Truck with Snoopy and Charlie Brown as companions. The fire truck is part of The Life of B’s blog Simply Red challenge. Thank you to Becky for hosting.

The Elk Neck State Park has a beach area for visitors on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. My family has had many camping trips to Elk Neck State Park. I love this photo of the grandgirls looking for rocks and treasure and my family relaxing. My son is wearing the shirt that is my pop of Simply Red for The Life of B blog’s photo challenge.

Photo Challenge – Simply Red/East Point Lighthouse

On By TimelessladyIn photo challenges5 Comments

The beautiful red roof of the East Point Lighthouse is just one of the charms of this beautiful building. Built in 1849 on the Delaware Bay in Heislerville, New Jersey, the lighthouse is still an active lighthouse.

The pop of red of the lighthouse roof is my choice today for the Life of B blog, Simply Red photo challenge and Skywatch Friday.

SWAK

How many remember what SWAK means? Sealed with a Kiss! This signage was photographed this week on the Wildwood, NJ boardwalk. It’s been a HOT summer so far in Jersey. Stay cool my blogging friends.

Thanks to Becky of Life of B blog for hosting this Simply Red Square challenge.

Photo Challenge & Phavorite – Mr. Lincoln Rose

You could lose yourself in the fragrance and softness of the petals. I’ve grown them for years. They grow high enough to stand and bury your nose in the beautiful bloom. They are definitely one of the joys of summertime.

Thank you to Becky for hosting the Simply Red Challenge.

Phloral Challenge – Simply Red/Coast Guard

On By TimelessladyIn Photo Challenge at Wordpress9 Comments

This photo was taken at the docks at the Bayshore Center in Bivalve. The Coast Guard is an important part of our country’s defense that many people forget about. I also love the unexpected swallow photo-bombing my capture.

Thanks to Becky, at Life of B, for hosting the Simply Red Square Challenge for July.

Photo Challenge & Phloral Arrangement – Christmas in July

On By TimelessladyIn Phloral Arrangements, photo challenges12 Comments

I have a happy combo post combining two blogs that offer a challenge. It is day seven for participating in Becky’s Life of B square challenge of Simply Red. I’m using the Christmas in July Santa Mug floral arrangement as part of Cathy’s IAVOM challenge on the Rambling in the Garden blog. A thank you to both of these ladies for the energy and time it takes to host challenges. I enjoy them very much!

Inside my Santa Mug are Simply Red flowers from my garden and a bit of foliage. A Mr. Lincoln rose, red geranium, and Lady in Red salvia. I like the curve of the mug that extends through the drape of the flowers. Happy Monday to all.

Photo Challenge – Simply Red/The American Flag

On By TimelessladyIn photo challenges4 Comments

I love the American Flag. I’m delighted to use a photo of the flag as my July 4th response to Life of B’s photo challenge, Simply Red. To gaze at a flag snapping and fluttering in the wind against a blue sky fills me with joy, not only for the flag itself but for the nation it stands for…God bless the USA.

Photo Challenge – Simply Red/Crab Shack

On By TimelessladyIn photo challenges12 Comments

Becky, writing from the Life of B WordPress blog, has named July 2025’s Square Photo Challenge “Simply Red.”

I am lucky to live near both the Atlantic Ocean and the Delaware Bay. Each has their advantage over the other. The bay is easier to fish and crab, and the ocean can’t be bettered for jumping and riding waves and walking the boardwalk.

The square photograph today is a shack along the Delaware Bay. At first glance, it might appear that it is a place for selling crabs, but it seems to be more of a refueling destination for those who are crabbing in the waters of the bay. The bay has many trails for riding bikes, and this photo was taken while riding bicycles.
