Hope all is well where you are and may peace and love be in Las Vegas today.

Hello folks! I just had to show everyone the snow we are getting right now. Our first snow of the season….what the hell happened to fall?
Hope all is well where you are and may peace and love be in Las Vegas today.
I’m sure you know by now that today is National Dog Day. So in honor of today here is my favorite dog and best buddy……Sam the Man, Sammy, Sam, Baby Boy…etc……
For this photo challenge, publish an image that conveys serenity.
The following pictures convey serenity to me. Mother Nature, animals and good coffee.
This weeks photo challenge from The Daily Post is minimalist. Here is my interpretation of the prompt, with a picture and a short poem. Thanks for reading!
Sharpened pieces of wood
Colors of the rainbow
Waiting to be held between my fingers
My imagination flows, which way should I go?
Soft pastel, bright or bold
The colors draw me in
To a world that begins
Shaped and shadowed, then filled softly in
Hello people!
Another fine edition of Share Your World, hosted by the talented Cee from Cee’s Photography is here once again. Why not click on over to Cee’s blog and see what all the fuss is about? Better yet, come join us!
This is where Cee asks us fellow bloggers 4 questions every week and we answer them. Great fun in getting to know your fellow blogger friends a little better.
So here we go!
Would you rather take pictures or be in pictures?
A picture of me is a very rare thing, almost extinct. So yes, I would much rather be behind the camera then in front of it.
What did you most enjoy doing this past week?
Taking pictures of my neighbors gorgeous fall colored tree. It’s been beautiful here in my corner of Alberta, Canada. Sunshine, bright blue skies, big fluffy white clouds and this wonderful tree. Sam and I have enjoyed the fresh air and the sun.
What is your greatest extravagance?
Besides books or coffee? Well, actually I find books and coffee more necessities than extravagances. So I suppose I am going to have to admit to buying anything arty and colorful. It can be something cheap and easy like notebooks or pads of colored paper, pens, pencils. Pretty much anything I can afford that is bright, colorful and cheerful. I love to have color around me, even in the small things.
Which letter of the alphabet describes you best?
Now this took some thought. I am going to say the letter B. Why B? Glad you asked! I picked B because I’m curvy and have a tendency to run into myself a lot. Let me explain that one. When I try to do something I really want to do, I’m my own worst enemy. So I run into my inner self a lot. I will make excuses why I won’t succeed, or I’ll even find myself sabotaging myself so I fail. I’ve always been this way. I think it stems from being told most of my life, “You can’t do that.” So I tell myself that. Then I have to talk myself into doing what I really want to do in the first place! So I’m always running into myself. Hmm, does that make sense?
So that’s it for me this week. Thanks for visiting and thanks for reading. You guys are the best!
What’s YOUR greatest extravagance?
The Daily Post photo challenge this week is: contrasts
Here is my contribution.
My dog Sam and my cat Pouncer sharing the same sunbeam. Now they are a contrast as their personalities are such that this sharing is a very rare occurrence.
I love this picture I took last year of a sunset off my patio. The bare trees are a sharp contrast against the beautiful fiery sunset.
My mother, who will be 85 this year. A woman of many contrasts. She can be the nicest person in the world. Just don’t dare cross her! My mother and I have had our difficulties in the past, but she is the strongest woman I know as she has overcome so many things in her life. She is only 4’11, but she is a giant in personality.
The Daily Post Photo Challenge….Between.
From the four walls that currently surround you to the infinite potential of space, this week we’d like you to show us your take on room, rooms, or a room.
Here is my take, nothing better than Mother Nature’s room. These were taken in Alberta, Canada. They are pictures of the Canadian side of the Rocky Mountains.
In this week’s photo challenge, capture an image that tells a full story in a single frame.
“Twist” is filthy with meaning: it’s the unexpected, it’s surprising, it’s even an amazing ice cream choice. What does “twist” mean to you?
This week, share a photo of something that says “twist” to you. It might be that perfect ice cream cone, a yummy bit of licorice, or something unexpected that surprised, shocked, or startled you.
This week’s Photo Challenge is to find the twist in things. Here is mine.
Today I thought I would join in for Cee’s black and white photo challenge. It’s open topic this week and I knew just the picture I wanted to show.
My dog Sam. Isn’t he a cutie?
Perspective is important to every photographer. With the creative use of perspective narrowed down through the lens of a camera, a bit of gravel can look like a barren desert landscape or a few trees can trick the eye into thinking you’re deep in a centuries-old forest.
This week’s photo challenge is about perspective: post a photo which is not what it seems to be. Make sure you share what the photo actually is of in its caption!
For those who are looking for an extra bit of challenge, show us two photos, each one showing a different angle or interpretation of the same subject:
Mine is a strange Canadian Frost World……
This is the big view of the picture:
