"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. " -Helen Keller

All the Small Things (baby pic included)

Welcome to the new edition of Show&Tell blogger style. The wonderful and fabulous Suzy at not a fertile myrtle recently restarted Show&Tell for all of us who missed it. The two pictures I've gonna show off this week are also my entries into the punk rock mom's latest photo challenge. As always, please click on the pics to see a bigger version of them. The theme of this photo challenge is all the small things. This first picture I took over labor day weekend. I have been trying for ages to get a good shot of a dragonfly and I finally did.
and this second shot is actually an old one, taken almost 5 years ago. It is Gabe at 18 days old.
Head on over to Suzy's to check out the other Show&Tell entries and head on over to tprm's to see the other photos.

PHOTO FRIDAY: Buttons

Welcome to Photo Friday sponsored by the brilliant and beautiful Calliope of Creating Motherhood..and, yeah I know I say this every week but she really is brilliant and she is absolutely beautiful. This weeks theme is buttons and I have two photos to share with you and they are each a completely different take on the theme.

I just wanted to add that the effects of the second picture were achieved on purpose and without and digital editing. The only thing done to it was resizing it for my blog

Now, head on over to Calli's y'all and check out everyone's photos this week...and, break out those cameras and participate next week.
***************************************
Please take a moment to go by and offer your support to Heather and Mike Spohr. As of today, their sweet Maddie has been gone for more days than she had with them. Just be warned, have tissues handy if you watch the video.

Picture time, picture time


The Punk Rock Mom is hosting a weekly photo challenge during each of the next 5 weeks. The weekly theme will correspond with the weekly assignments she receives in the photography class she is taking. This week, we had multiple options to pick from...
  1. A Statue From the ground up
  2. A Reflection From above
  3. A Circle, Triangle, Square shapes from the ground up
  4. A Tree Branch from the ground up
  5. A Shadow From above
  6. A Person From Close up, far away, from left, from right and in their environment
  7. A street scene, all angles
  8. Surprise Me! From Your Unique Point of View
and,we could take pics in any or all of these categories. Since I take an absolutely RIDICULOUS number of digital pics, I jumped at this chance to show off my madd photo skillz. I have included a full length picture of the statue just so you can get an idea what you are looking at. All pics except the very first one are clickable and you know you want to see the bigger image.
