March Afternoon …
Weekly Challenge: Harmony …
This weeks prompt is : a beautiful harmony: a “combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes… having a pleasing effect.”
Of course, harmony also has a meaning outside of the world of music: “the quality of forming a pleasing and consistent whole.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My first thought is of music. My second thought was where you might hear beautiful music. My third thought was… Carnegie Hall of course 🙂
Weekly Challenge: State of Mind …
The prompt this week is to share an image where you see a particularly strong connection between what we see and what you felt as you pressed that shutter button on your camera. I thought about this for a few days and decided that instead of showing photos that depicted my state of mind I would share where my mind goes when it needs to be elsewhere. When I need to relax, day dream, recollect memories or just pretend I’m there… that place is Martha’s Vineyard and if you read my other blog www.mvobsession.com you’ll know that it is where my heart and soul reside.
This collage pretty much describes my almost constant state of mind 🙂
I had to add these two pictures from a visit to the Grounds For Sculpture in New Jersey that I thought were whimsical.

February Afternoon At The Lake …
Weekly Challenge: Seasons …
This week the challenge is to embrace the season: share an image that embodies the world or the weather where you live.Share an image that expresses the seasonality of life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My first inclination was to share photos of flowers because in the midst of February flowers blooming and things greening and the change of season is greatly looked forward to.
But.
This picture, taken in NYC a few yers ago, definitely says change of season to me.
Hearts andFlowers …
Pink Tulips In Water …
Weekly Challenge: Time …
The prompt is to think about time and portray it photographically. Perhaps you have a fascination with clocks. Or maybe contemplating time takes you somewhere else completely.

This is my granfather Charles’s pocket watch. He died in 1910 and I’m not sure how long he had this pocket watch but it’s safe to say it’s over 100 years old.


A close up of the intricate pictures on the front and back.
For many years the watch sat in my jewelry box untouched. Recently I took it out and wound it and it began ticking… it was missing hands though.
New hands, new pocket watch chain, thorough cleaning and the watch is keeping time once again. Actually that’s not entirely true, Charles the watch doesn’t always keep the correct time every day… seems Charles is having a bit of a good time teasing us.
It’s okay that Charles the pocket watch is ticking to its own time… sort of goes along with this wall clock of mine that cares not what time it is 🙂
