Weekly Photo Challenge: Path

path

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and I think this is one of them.
Taken by my daughter of me and my beautiful granddaughter walking along the Galloping Goose Trail here in Victoria says all I need to say about what the word Path means to me today.

Discover Challenge: Mind the Gap

The distance between idea and execution can be a source of frustration — or of inspiration.”

For this week’s challenge” asks Ben, “tell us a story — in words, sounds, images, or any combination of media — about the struggle to close the gap between an idea and its realization.”

I think I’ll just let the pictures tell the story in which the gap was brilliantly closed
and the pride of achievement glorious to behold.

Numbers

Cheri asks us to “Use a number to inspire and shape the format of your post.”

What could be more uplifting on a day when our spirits need to be uplifted than our beautiful granddaughter’s ten little fingers holding those colourful crayons and producing her first masterpieces.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Nostalgia

nostalgia

You may remember my painting Dad’s Tools for Day 330 of my Studio 365 last November. I thought for this week’s Photo Challenge: Nostalgia, in which Jeff Golinski asks, “What kinds of experiences stir emotions for the past within you?” this photograph of the tools, some of which are over seventy years old and which I still use lovingly today, would be the perfect answer to his question.

Spending last weekend with or beautiful granddaughter; what could be a better way to celebrate National Grandparents Day, and as you can see it also wasn’t hard to interpret this week’s Photo Challenge.
