Weekly Winners – Last Minute Edition

Oct 15, 2011 | Photography, Scavenger Hunt Sunday, Show & Tell, Weekly Winners

All taken w/ Canon Rebel XS.

I was pretty much elsewhere in my head this week. I got most of these at the absolute last minute…like tonight (Saturday night).  Hoping for a much more creative week next week.

1. Abstract
What is a weed? A plant whose virtures have never been discovered. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Counsel woven into the fabric of real life is wisdom. ~Walter Benjamin

2. Round
Music is the harmonious voice of creation; an echo of the invisible world. ~Giuseppe Mazzini

I had a few ideas for round.  My headphones were my favorite.  I wear them all the time when I’m writing. They’re also my salvation when hubby is watching horrible scary movies.

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars. ~Og Mandino

Our end table lamp is so perfectly round I had to use it. I wish I’d been able to get my camera high enough to get the outer ring too.  But I love that the bulb is a circle within the circle of the lampshade.

Photography love...

3. Fire
If you don’t light fires, smoke won’t get in your eyes. ~German Proverb

4. Faces in Unusual Places
This is another one I struggled with. Then tonight in one of her fits, Angel decided to hide her face IN the couch. It hit me, that was a face in an unusual place. Yeah, it’s a stretch, but really…I had nothing.

5. Stars
Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars. ~Henry Van Dyke

When it is darkest, men see stars. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

A Simple Thing:
My simple thing for this week is my Riley. The girls is a future model. The camera loves her, and every time it’s pointed even close to her direction, she posing. This was at Brandon’s last cross country meet. She saw me with the camera and it was five minutes of constant motion, posing and turning, and posing again.
