Weekly Photo Challenge: Forward

Posted on by
22

Forward. This week’s photo challenge… inspired me to think about how many times I have moved forward and what that moving forward has meant for me.  I can remember many times in my life certain people stated that I seemed to be a person that was constantly running away from people, places and things.  The truth is, I have never ran from anything but have spent a lot of time running towards everything.

This week’s photo challenge asked what ‘forward’ meant to us.  Well, to me it has always meant finding interesting people, places or things that are ahead of me and that have caused me to want to move forward and toward a new and unknown destination.

I have had an amazing life with many shiny objects ahead of me that have distracted and caused me to want to leave behind one thing (or in some cases many things) that I truly loved and appreciated in order to move on.  For this I am grateful.  I cannot imagine, even for a second not moving forward.  Because of my inability to run away from things I will always remember fondly the places I have been and the people I have met.  Because of my ability to move forward, I will always anticipate the amazing things that are yet to come.

This week’s Travel theme is circles.  Most of my favorite circles surround the theme wine.. and If I’m wining, I’m usually dining.  Enjoy some of my random circle art finds as well.

But I can’t tell you why;

JakesPrinter’s has brought another great theme for this week.  CITY

After reviewing all of my favorite shots from my favorite cities I found too many to narrow down.  So what I decided to do is pick my favorite city to highlight and post some of my favorite pictures from that ONE city.. and for the others.. well.. I couldn’t just ignore them so they will need to follow in a slideshow.  Now if you’ve read a few of my past posts you will know what city I’m going to profile.  I hope you enjoy.

THE CITY

Statute of Liberty

New York

Canal Street New York

Elmo New York

New York Cabs

New York Times Square

It seems that Ailsa from Where’s My Backpack just did a silhouette theme recently (actually she did on Aug 24 – my Silhouette theme) and yet here we are again with the Daily Posts Weekly photo challenge of Silhouette.  I hate recycling old pictures but might still use a few of my favorites just because I like them and don’t have many new ones to use.  I hope you enjoy.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Big

Posted on by
6

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge was easy this week.  For the past couple of weeks I have been traveling.  First to visit the Panama Canal and 2nd to Cape Canaveral, Florida.  When I saw this challenge I immediately knew which photos I wanted to use.  I hope you enjoy.

BIG. It’s larger than life, it’s unexpected, it’s the protagonist in a scene. It’s big. It often helps to have some normal object as part of the scene so people can understand the scale, as I did in this picture of a GIANT mortadella in the grocery store. It must have been 10 feet long. 

Share a picture which means BIG to you!
