Time...

February photo challenge... day 17

Today's challenge... "time"

Time can be both our enemy and our friend.


Time can help you heal and it can tick on for what seems like a lifetime.

Time can weigh you down. Rush you. Hold you hostage. It can take away regret and even the most painful pain.


Time can carry your memories or fade them without warning. 


There are days when I hate time. And then there are those other days... the days where I am on my knees begging for just a little more of it.

February photo challenge... day 10

Ten days in and I've already failed the challenge. In my defense, I did take the pictures yesterday... I just never had a chance to post them. As soon as I got home from work yesterday, we packed up and went out for a family date night. We didn't get back until around 10:30pm and I fell asleep on the couch trying to load the photos onto the laptop. Sad I know. And maybe a little old lady-ish.

Day 10's challenge was self portrait...

We all know how hard it is to take a photo of yourself. SOOOO I figured I would share a few of the photos that hit the cutting room floor; along with a little comentary, of course, just to make up for the delay.

When partaking in the task of self portraits, the first few pics are always a mess...

You may almost cut half yourself off...

Make may stupid faces...

You may even do stupid shit with your hands...

You might try to kiss the camera...

 More than once...

So as your driving down the road taking pictures of yourself(yeah, I know) you decide that maybe a picture without your glasses would be nice...

hmmm
glasses on???

Or glasses off...

Until it hits you...

HOLY SHIT!! NOW I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TAKING PICTURES OF MYSELF WITH MY GLASSES OFF!!!

So we went with on...

Happy Saturday!

Front Door...

February Photo Challenge... day 9

Today's challenge is about the "front door".

Yes, my front door is black(I am kinda modern like that).

I have been thinking about this post all day. I mean, what can you really say about a door?

We can start with the color...

Usually, black means something bad... like the black hole, death, darkkness... something scary.

But I know, even with the color we have splashed upon it, when we walk through that door. Everyone is safe and we've made it through another day.

Blindness...

February Photo Challenge... day 8

Today's challenge is the "sun".

Staring at the sun feels a lot like your child being diagnosed with a life long illness - everything goes white. It takes a period of time for you to begin to refocus and even then your vision is weak at best.

You squint your eyes, rub them, close them tight; as they water from the burning. The blindness of it all is scary, but eventually we DO start to see again.

Here's to finding our way out of the blindness. 

Button...

February Challenge... day 7

Tadays challenge was tough; either that or my creative juices were all squeezed out. I sat there trying to think of a way to bring life into my photo of a button.

This is what I came up with...

See that green button? Well, if I accidentally hit that button... I hang up on you... accidentally. :( I will not willingly admit weather or not I have accidentally hit that button... accidentally.

Did I mention it would be totally accidental?

No what the hell am I going to do with "Sun"?

Dinner...

February challenge... day 6

Today's challenge is "Dinner"...

BBQ Pulled Pork, Mac-N-Cheese and my favorite guy.

                                   

Doesn't get much better than that. Except for the part where he actually ate it.

10am...

February Photo Challenge... day 5 

Today's photo challenge simply states "10am".

So what was I doing at 10am this morning? I was driving down the road; heading to Hamburger Mary's with about 16 of my co-workers.

No worries... nobody got tooo crazy. After all, we DO have to work tomorrow.

These are not my co-workers

Happy Sunday!



Hands...

February challenge day 3 is all about the hands.

Enough said!

February challenge... Day 2

The "fine print" (for full details... go here) 
1. Use the list above as inspiration and take a photo everyday.
   -okay, so I already broke the the very first rule on the very first day. I am ashamed, but in my defense... I didn't read the rules before I started(typical me) and it was a last minute join at 5 am this morning.

2. Share! Wherever you want... FB, The Twit, Blog, where eva.

3. Check out everyone's pictures. As of today, there are 800 people signed up for the challenge.

********************



Okay, so now that the "fine print" is out of the way...

Today's picture challenge is "words"(see... I CAN follow the rules).

Rather than take a picture, I decided to create one using one of my favorite quotes. I found this quote a little while after I started to "come back to life" so to speak. It made sense to me and I needed to hear that I might still had some strength left in me. I keep this quote in my car and I look at it whenever I pull down my visor. I don't think it will ever get old... it seems as soon as I find my strength, something comes along that pushing me towards giving up again.

Just gotta keep truckin!!

Happy Thursday!
