Weekly Challenge: Vibrant …

This week prompt is, share a photo of something vibrant. Vivid colors, a lively portrait, or perhaps a delightfully colorful landscape, if you’re in a warmer climate. Let’s wash the web with a rainbow of colors to keep the winter gloom at bay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My choice for vibrant is a photo of Times Square in New York City.  The colors, the crowds, the noises… it all adds to the vibrancy of what they call the ‘crossroads’ of the world..

Weekly Challenge: Optimistic …

The prompt this week is show us something you’re optimistic about, or perhaps a talisman that helps you stay positive and hopeful, regardless of what life (and the weather!) throws your way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wasn’t sure what I wanted to post a photo of.  Thought about flowers and animals, the preparations for a lovely meal… and then i started looking at tulips which are my favorite flower and I realized that they make me happy and therefore optimistic.  I cropped this picture so the flowers are off center just to make it more interesting to me.   Hope you like it.

Weekly Challenge: Alphabet …

This week, let the alphabet be your inspiration: find a string of letters. Try a multi-photo gallery to collect images of single characters. Find some beautiful typography, or look for letters hidden in natural forms. I’m excited to see your ABCs!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One of my choices for a photo of the alphabet is this ABC picture about Martha’s Vineyard which is my favorite place.  http://www.mvobsession.com

Another alphabet choice are these books I saw in a store, I’m not in favor of destroying books but  these were meant to be book ends, which is kind of  an interesting turn of events as this is the end for these books 🙂

New York City Penthouse …

Can you imagine what the inside looks like !  Art deco… perhaps French decor… or maybe a little thread bare from decades of wear and tear… the memories of parties and famous guests having dinner and exchanging bon mots late into the evening.  Let your imagination run wild…that’s what I do when I see the beautiful old architecture in NYC… ghosts roam freely in our imaginations 🙂

Weekly Challenge: Circle …

The prompt for Circle …..With 2016 officially here, we face forward to take on what’s next. It’s a time of endings and beginnings, so I wanted a broad theme that could be simple, fun, and festive, but also complex and introspective. And so, circle it is.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My choice for the topic Circle… is Stonehenge which is located in southern England, it is comprised of roughly 100 massive upright stones placed in a circular layout.  For centuries, historians and archaeologists have puzzled over the many mysteries of Stonehenge, the prehistoric monument that took Neolithic builders an estimated 1,500 years to erect. CLICK HERE to learn more about Stonehenge which I found to be very interesting.
