Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Contrasting Colors
Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Seating
Cee’s Photography has challenged us to share black and white seating photos this week.
So…
Come in and sit a spell!
This old southern saying is a welcoming invitation to feel free to come, rest and relax for a little while.
When the world is frantic and busy…take a moment…sit…rest.
When answers elude…sit…quietly, mediating, praying or just being.
When your heart is weary and broken…sit…share.
When you have achieved a goal…take a seat of honor…celebrate.
When you are feeling adventurous… sit…sit? Absolutely! Feel the wind in your hair, the thrill and anticipation- but hold onto your seat because the ride might just take your breath away.
Take your pick.
Take a load off
Recharge the body
Refresh the soul
Stay for awhile
And then off you go!

The Mourning Seal

Thank you, dear readers for your wonderful response to my post yesterday, 10 Things That Are Helpful To Know About Grief. I had several enquiries about how the grieving seal was doing today.
As you can see from the photo above, the beach was empty this morning.
I suspect, she felt stronger today and returned to the “ebb and flow” (as my friend Beverly so eloquently described it) of her ocean life.
Unexpectedly Livid
One Word Challenge: Livid
Hi! Welcome!
Lovely day for you?
Oh, did you show up to see if I was going to be ranting and ravening?
Nawh, livid is the color Jennifer Nichole Wells has chosen for her challenge this week!
While you are here, have a look at my contribution to the challenge.
Unexpected?

It was for me because I didn’t know it was a color.
Who know livid could be so beautiful?
Livid.
I like it.

My Boys and Their Wheels
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Wheels
Boys and their toys! My boys love their wheels. My contribution this week celebrates the joy of spinning, speeding wheels.
Silent Sunday
Morning Dew
I have had a few early mornings with my camera lately (the weather is co-operating recently). Yesterday, everything seemed to be glistening with dew. It was fabulously beautiful. A couple of spiderwebs caught my eye…so, I went with it.

dew is the fruit of a clear, calm, quiet sky
distilling
softening
quickening life
refreshing
fructifying
Grace is similar to dew
gently
patiently
encouraging
accepting
bringing softness, refreshing and fruitfulness to my heart
Dialogue
WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: Dialogue
This week Frèdèric Biver offered the challenge to offer two photos in dialogue:
Dialogue is an engaging conversational exchange.
When it comes to photography, dialogue can be perceived as a consensual interaction between two images.
Placed next to each other, each photograph opens up to meanings that weren’t there when viewed alone.
Each composition reveals the photographer’s specific sensitivity to certain content or visual elements.
