I noticed this sign “enveloped” in the tree one day this week while out for a bike ride. A few days later I learn this week’s challenge is “enveloped.” So I went for a ride this evening in search of the sign….and I found it!

I took this picture earlier today. Normally I would consider it a “throw away” shot. But as soon as I saw it I thought about this week’s challenge….Blur!
The more I looked at it, the more I liked it…blur and all!

The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge is to share a photo that represents fresh. As many of you know I have been watching my Texas Red Bud very closely, taking pictures of the buds every day or two.
This morning I went out to take a few photos before leaving for work…I was thrilled to see the buds were bursting to life.
You will notice the leaves are also starting to bud. Soon they will replace the beautiful flowers.

This week’s photo challenge at The Daily Post is the color orange. As I started searching through my photos I suddenly started questioning my judgement of color. I shot this field of wildflowers last Spring. Once I start looking at the photo….my brain starts questioning my eyes….orange or red? Red or orange?
Wildflowers – Indian Blanket
Pumpkins on the other hand are a given….definitely orange. Well, unless they are gourds….then they might be green or tan or…..well, not orange.

Halloween (an orange season) is my friend Sonya’s favorite season. She has enough Halloween shirts that she can wear a different shirt everyday of October. In this photo Sonya was doing one of the only things she enjoys more than Halloween…..singing. Her stage was inside the Vortex at the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth. When you talk (or sing) inside the Vortex, everything echoes……needless to say she had a blast!
Freely Singing – In Orange
And finally….an orange butterfly…and yes, I’m sure he’s orange!

This is my friend Sonya walking through the forest in Northern Ontario. She looks so small compared to the surrounding trees. It seems we are all quite small compared to the overwhelming beauty of Mother Nature.

Chelsea came into my life when her original person had to move into a nursing home. She was 8 years old at that time. Who would’ve thought I would get to spend more than half her life with her.
She celebrated a total of 18 birthdays. This picture was taken at her 15th birthday. Also known as her Quinceanera. She raised over 2 hundred dollars at this birthday party for a local rescue group.
She “worked” with my clients. As a social worker she frequently met people who had turned hard to the world…yet she had a way of turning their hearts soft again…if only for a minute!
She travelled the country. Bringing smiles to all she met. Whether she was on a leash, in my backpack or sitting at a table, she was always well mannered and precious!
This was our last day together. I had to finally release this precious angel to the Rainbow Bridge. It was one of the hardest days of my life. Chelsea is gone but she will never be forgotten.

“Photos are visual spaces where shapes and lines, objects, and people come together. Geometry in photography — shapes, diagonals, vanishing points….”
I have always been fascinated with photos and drawings of objects vanishing in the distance. An object that goes so far it disappears into the horizon. Objects like a railroad line or a country road.
Traveling through the wide open spaces of West Texas this past weekend I found many examples of vanishing points…here are two of the scenes I captured

For the past 3 years I have participated in the Susan G. Komen 3 Day walk for breast cancer. The two women in this photo are my teammates. Between now and the second weekend in November we will walk hundreds of miles and take thousands upon thousands of steps. The many miles and many steps will prepare us to walk 60 miles in 3 days. During those walks we will discuss everything from religion, politics, our families, past walks, future walks, pets, food, and personal things that can only be shared when you are in the process of developing yet another callous on your right foot.
This photo represents a step, a split-second in the fight for a cure.
