Krista, over at WordPress has chosen “Reward” as this week’s challenge topic! She says, “Reward is filthy with possibility: it could be your third grader’s beaming smile after reading her first chapter book, a steaming mug of chicken soup after a long run in the cold, a photo of your brand-new baby — your reward for patience during nine months of construction, or your extended family gathered around the dinner table.” Here are my rewards:
A calving glacier splashes into the water after a long wait…
The splash!
A hike takes me to a point where I can view the awesome Yosemite Valley…

After working hard in the garden…
The garden today!
we have an abundance of plants that gave us loads of vegetables!
The entire bounty
Tomorrow’s bounty
We feed the hummingbirds here in the spring and summer months. I was rewarded, after years of feeding them, to have on actually land on my hand!
Hummer on my finger!
There is nothing better than being rewarded at the end of the day with a glorious sunset!
The sun descends in the sky
I hope that you like the photos that to me are all rewards! Thank you for dropping by today! Have a fabulous Friday and be well! ^..^
[…] Life in the Foothills Reward – A WordPress Photo Challenge! […]
Lovely photos!
Thank you Susan!
these are all lovely rewards… i’m not sure which i like most, but probably the image of that precious hummingbird on your hand.
the header image is stunning as well!
Thank you Z! I was indeed rewarded with the hummingbird! The header photo was taken in 2008 after a snow. They predicted 6″ and we ended up with 18″! I hope that you are doing well! Hugs – ^..^
Lovely pictures, and your photo of the mountains is absolutely stunning!
Thank you Francesca!

Love your rewards. The photo with the hummingbird is amazing. Having a garden I can appreciate the rewards of your hard work. Very nice selection for this weeks challenge.
Thanks Spirit! That was amazing having a hummingbird land on my finger. Barely felt the tiny thing! The garden…have not had one like the one in the photo since…gophers, moles, earwigs, birds…

You captured many rewards in your photos and they all are great examples of what Mother Nature can reward us with.
Mother Nature is amazing when we take the time to stop and look! 🙂
All the photos are precious. The best one is the humming bird on your finger, that is really an award from heaven.
