"circles"

This is one of those weeks when I feel like I'm running around in circles, not getting anything accomplished.  I've worked diligently on my post for this week.  Planning, prepping, shooting, editing, and writing out my thoughts only to realize I had the wrong theme, just as I was ready to hit the post button!  The good news is that next week's post is ready and waiting! 
So, now,  it's Thursday night and I have an early morning curtain call for work and no shot to post, so I'm going to post the shots I took  for another challenge but that still fit the theme, loosely!
 These circles....
 started out looking like this...

and ended up looking like this!


To see how the rest of this talented group of photographers interpreted the theme this week, 
and continue around the circle!

Strawberries, anyone?

"perspective"

For over a week now, I've been trying to come with a unique idea to post here. Every day I would look at the possibilities.  A few times I walked around the yard.  Twice I drive to local parks to try to execute my ideas.  Twice I can home without anything that wowed me.  I was going to post one that I took for last's week's theme and kind of liked. Then, while looking through my hard drive to grab the digital file, and I saw this shot.  It's one I've been working on converting all week.  After several tries and lots of constructive criticism, from some good photography friends, I came up with this simple, clean conversion.  I have a new perspective on black and white photography.  Not only that but from this perspective, my niece has some amazing eye lashes!

"blue"

I really wanted to try out one of my newer lenses for this week's theme. Unfortunately, I procrastinated.  The beautiful blue skies that were almost overwhelming this morning were covered by thick, gray, patchy clouds this afternoon.    I waited until the clouds managed to part just enough for me to take these two shots.  Truth be told, they are not exactly what I was hoping for, but that's the beauty of this hobby.  I'll get another chance, another day.

"Metal"

As I was taking a walk earlier this week I started to think about how I was going to enjoy my time off during my spring break and the things I was hoping to accomplish on the mental to-do list in my head.  Then I got to thinking about the reason I was even able to enjoy or do those things.

The cross.  The cross He willing carried for us. The cross He died on, for us. 

That got me thinking about how I could portray that for this week's theme.  Metal.  A metal cross.

My silver cross. 

One of two I proudly and lovingly wear around my neck to symbolize my Christianity.
