It has been a very long time since I have added a post, never mind contributed to the Weekly Photo Challenge, so today I am delighted to introduce you to my friend Lucy, my Saint Bernard which is my contribution for the challenge this week. Lucy weighs-in at 147 lbs and has a very loud bark, but
Read MoreI love being outside when it’s warm, feeling the sun or breeze on my face, smelling the flowers or the ocean depending on where I happen to be. However, in the winter time, I am exactly the opposite, I hate being outside. I don’t care for the cold or snow and choose to spend my
Read MoreI find some people respond more strongly to a visual representation of something as opposed to a verbal or written variation. In this image I wanted to create a simple picture of why one may want to give up smoking by using the reflection of the smoking woman to create her opposite the non-smoker. My intention
Read MoreI created this image from an original photograph of the Three Muses, Drama (Calliope), Comedy (Thalia) and Tragedy (Melpomene), who represent and adorn the entrance of the National Drama Theatre in Vilnius, Lithuania. Located on Gediminas Ave, the theatre is considered a landmark of Vilnius city and is one of Lithuania’s most prominent publicly funded art
Read MoreI love to travel and only wish, like most of us, that I had the financial resources and freedom to travel more. We live on a beautiful planet and even though I have not seen her many wonders with my own eyes, I have seen photos and enjoyed reading about the natural beauty this Earth
Read MoreWhen I think of harmony, outside of a beautiful melody, I think of peace. If you can learn to maintain a true sense of peace within, no matter what is going on around you, I believe that a harmonious life would be your reward. There are many symbols which have been used to represent peace
Read MoreWhen I saw this week’s challenge I instantly thought that the only time that really matters is the present moment. Which in turn brought to mind an image I created last year about being one with the universe. Connecting with the Universe doesn’t require some special tool, knowledge or spiritual practice, it is experienced simply by being
Read MoreGoing about our everyday lives we usually pay attention to what we see around us, we don’t have a lot of choice in the matter if we want to navigate this world safely. It’s something we do without thinking. There are times though when we deliberately focus on things, either because we need to or
Read MoreAn image I created a few months ago instantly sprang to mind for this week’s challenge. It was inspired by a cellist, Vedran Smailović, who in the midst of endless & deadly sniper fire during the 1990’s Siege of Sarajevo, maintained the morale of an entire city. Vedran Smailović played for 22 days, at the
Read MoreI realize that Niagara Falls is a well-known and visited area, both the US and Canadian side, but I felt it was the perfect fit for this week’s challenge. This image was taken last summer when I lived in Burlington which is only a 40 minute drive away. The boat in the photograph above is
Read MoreI have to be honest I am more of a night owl, but when I was visiting Newquay, Devon with my mum and dad I did grab my camera and head off to the beach at around 7:00 a.m. There were only two other people who had the same idea, which was nice, as it
Read MoreMany images sprang to mind for this week’s Photo Challenge, but I decided to go with a simple shot of fruit. Raspberries are one of my favourites and these raspberries were growing along the side of a country road in Shropshire, England. Great reminder that the warmer weather is on it’s way.
