You Capture {JOY}

Well, here it is - joy.

A part of the fun and "joyful" You Capture Challenge, JOY

http://

One that I enjoyed doing, so ingrained into me that joy, with all it's complexity, means something different to every single one of us. Click on the link above to go to the site that originated this challenge and see the other photographers and their intrepretations of the theme JOY.

This is Savannah Rayne and her grandma - me (isn't that darling, that teeny tiny newborn baby smile? Could be gas, could be just an expression or movement, I prefer it to be a true grin, saved for her grandma)

Grandma was full of joy too...

JUST LOOK AT THESE SWEET FEETIES!!! Yep, kissing and smooching allowed.

{sigh}

I'm feeling the joy.

Now, go on over and give the other photogs a gander, go on you know you want to.

If you can tear yourself away from this darling pink bundle.

You Capture-Letters

This week's You Capture Challenge was "Letters".

I said "hmmmm". And then armed with my fav camera, I set out to capture this task.

I did think (to myself, and not very loudly) WHY? Why letters Beth? But then, it's her challenge, and who am I to question this assignment. So, I did this. In honor of Earth Day, yesterday, and for my own need to re-cycle, re-use, and re-invent.
then this

T, is for Turtles. Everyone loves turtles. Even when they are just yard art.

Then, without purpose, I thought of "lmnop", you know, from the famous ABC's song....(often mispronounced by the under three set-merged into one "ellimentopee)

This sign, which I've had forever...has been hung in my home, kitchen and yes, bathroom for years. I love it. Seems I can't often escape the Lard that is there. Nuff said.

And, a shout out to the creator of You Capture herself, let's give a round of applause to Beth at I should be Folding Laundry....(the crowd roars!)
AGAIN, I say

next week, the topic is "Joy". Could be that I take photo's of my new granddaughter, born this day, April 23, 2009 - Savannah Rayne! Happy Birthday!

My family means everything to me.

Perspective Challenge

Today's post, Perspective, was a challenge of photography by Beth.
I was inspired when I first read her challenge and shot a ton of pictures on the ol Nikon, however, today I am home sick and everything kind of has a slanted perspective. Ha, a pun sort of.

I gotta handle on things later in the day, so here's my shot. Simple-to-the-point. I love my coffee.

Check out other talented photographers by visiting Beth's site and clicking on the links. She had creatively challenged her readers to another task for next week.
