Weekly Photo Challenge: Foreshadow

Foreshadow: A warning or indication of a future event.

The familiar sound of the reel shortly after my husbands bait hit the water,  indicated that a fish would soon be in the boat and a little later, on my plate.

The ripple

When I took the picture of this duck, I caught myself looking at the ripples.  It never ceases to amaze me how that if we let God’s creation teach us, it never fails.  There is a lesson in every scene.

As the duck paddled its legs beneath him, the water rippled out revealing motion.  The display of the ripple varied based on his movement.  When he was still and quiet, the water barely moved, but when he flapped his wings and flailed around as he took his bath, there were splashes and ripples and noise.

So, of course I began to wonder, “What is my ripple?”  How does it look and what does it convey about me.

Do I thrash about wreaking havoc all around me?  Or perhaps I am so quiet and unmoving that I am barely noticed at all.   Or maybe, slow and steady is my way.  It makes you think, doesn’t it?

I hope to be steady and sure, confident and moving forward.  I pray that the impression I leave as I make my way through this world is a good one.

God Bless and Goodnight!

Just a smile for you

I took this photo of some flowers I planted with my granddaughter for a butterfly garden.  Our daily rains have encouraged lots of growth.  When I found the quote, I couldn’t help myself, had to share.  Hope you enjoy.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Fresh

When I thought about this challenge, to show photos depicting “fresh”, I remembered this outing I had with my daughter and her friend to the Knaus Berry Farm in Homestead, FL.  We were able to score some fresh strawberries!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Golden Hour

The challenge this week was for photos taken in the “golden hour”. I’m blessed to live in an area where a picture within an hour of sunset is always beautiful.

Weekly Photo Challege: Nostalgic

The Challenge: IN A NEW POST CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PICTURE THAT MAKES YOU NOSTALGIC.

All of the items below cause me to wax nostalgic and even more so, the older I get.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Companionable

The challenge was to pick a photo of an example of one of your companions. I choose this of my granddaughter Ayda and I because the photo just speaks “companionship” to me. I know this isn’t a very unique example, but I still think it quite fitting.
