We were proud of the Y's we found during L's ABC photography summer. The top photo is a y-joint in some pipes in our basement storage room. The middle photo is an awesome stick that we found in the grass. And the bottom photo is an amazing tree stump with a Y right in the middle of it!





We are going to wrap up these ABC posts in the next couple days! I'll also be posting the last photos that E has taken for her photography summer. Back to school in 7 days!
