WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – CONVERGE

I took some liberties this week – I’ll attribute it to poetic license.

---

---

Poetic License – definition

noun

1.

license or liberty taken by a poet, prose writer, or other artist in deviating from rule, conventional form, logic, or fact, in order to produce a desired effect.

My desired effect was to showcase a rose that caught my eye, a Zentangle I created and felt fit the theme of the challenge, and a conglomeration of the two. 

P.S.  I throw out that word “artist” with tongue in cheek.  🙂

CONVERGE

A rose that captured my heart

My Converging Tangle

You might notice some white spots in the black ink.  I could say I meant to do that.  Truth is I need a new pen – ROAD TRIP!

A blend of the two

TRAVEL THEME- COLORFUL

A fabulous time of year for colorful…

 

Chrisrmas is coming…

Santa was behind the colors. The REAL Santa!

Kids need to color more today! 🙂

My new hobby. Zentangle. I do the tangling and my friend, Gen, does the coloring.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK.

AND KEEP SMILING…

WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – ANGULAR

 

ANGULAR

A structure in Barkley Farmstead in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.  I go here to walk, think, admire, observe.  I am almost always with my five year old charge.  I spend five days a week with this bright charming fellow.  Here is a snippet of my day.  I love my job.

HIM:  Why are there Chrisrmas wreaths hanging in stores before Thanksgiving?

ME: I don’t really know, bud.

HIM: I love Christmas.  I can’t wait.

ME: Don’t rush it, pal.

HIM: Do you know what I love about Christmas?

ME: No.  Tell me.

HIM: I love the presents.

ME: Me too.

HIM: And I love that I get to eat candy canes.

ME: Yup.

HIM: And I love the joy of family.  (No lie. He said that. Verbatim.)

ME: That’s a really nice thing to say.  I’m glad you feel that way.

HIM:  I can’t help it.  It’s so joy-able.  (Also verbatim.)  😉

THIS KID’S ANGLING FOR SOMETHING, WOULDNT YOU SAY?

CEE’S FUN FOTO CHALLENGE – BARK OR LEAVES

I’m low on bark but long on leaves while walking through the park nearby that is blanketed in red and gold.  Each step I take makes a crispy, crunching sound.  Like something out of a horror movie. I even scared myself! You know, like when you’re watching something spooky, and you’re shouting to the TV.   “Don’t go in the basement!”  “Why would you follow the sound. RUN WHILE YOU CAN!” “DON’T OPEN THAT DOOR!”

Thank goodness it was so gorgeous or I might have had to turn around.  “NO! DONT LOOK BEHIND YOU!!!”

 

WALK THIS WAY…

CEE’S ODD BALL PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 36

This week I decided to fuss with a couple apps and turn a few ordinary circle into a few odd ball circle.  I like the effects.  I like that it was fun.  Problem with doing this is that there are so many options, combinations, and choices.  You could lose track of time just messing around with this stuff.  Still…fun. 😄

Here’s hoping my circles made you smile, at least a little, and then a little more, and then a lot.

CEE’S BLACK & WHITE CHALLENGE – PATTERNS

Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken. ~ Warren Buffett

Ok. Maybe not Alice’s. More like Amy’s but YUM! 200 variety of omlettes?!?! What’s not to like?

And last but not least, well. You tell me. It may be pretty obvious, but I’ll give you a clue, just in case … Aloha `oe, aloha `oe
