For this weeks Photo Challenge, they ask, what do I treasure. They want us to show in pictures, what we treasure.

I treasure a lot of things. But I didn’t want to just show ‘things’. Because I treasure so much in life.

Mother nature, even though she seems to be having major anger issues lately, is to be treasured in all her beauty. I treasure my dog Sam, as he is my constant companion and confidant. I treasure good friends. I also treasure a few family heirlooms I’ve gotten. Gifts from friends and family, some of these are to be treasured. Experiences in life can be treasured.

So I decided to try to capture all these things that I, personally treasure.
