Find beauty in the mundane, and purity in the midst of our chaotic, over-connected world. For this week’s challenge, share a photo of something pure — it can be a person, an object, or a moment. “Pure” can convey wholesomeness, something undiluted, or simplicity.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Purity in the kitchen…

The prompt this week is to show the picture of a face, or in this case, faces. I purchased this stone sculpture from a Native American artist on Martha’s Vineyard a few years ago.
I asked him how he knows what to sculpt and he told me that he has to get to know the stone first… let it speak to him and tell him what it is meant to be… only then does he begin the process of letting the spirit emerge from the stone.
This particular stone has two faces.
The face of a Native American.
The spirit of an eagle.
Something I find interesting about these sculptures is that when you’re holding them they’re both cool and warm. Perhaps it’s the spirit from within.

Weekly prompt: Point your camera at something familiar and turn it into something else. Whether it’s a wall in your house, a friend’s arm, or a billboard seen from afar, we may or may not recognize what it actually is. But we’ll certainly discover something else about it in the process.

My choice for abstract are views through my rainy windshield. The first one is of trees along the side of a street. The second one is the view of a harbor.

The prompt this week is to share our interpretation of future.
The gang plank of the Mayflower replica in Plymouth, MA. This is definitely a step into the future…
These photographs were taken in October 2015 on a trip to Plymouth. My descendants came to America on the first voyage of the Mayflower. I could not imagine, even with my vivid imagination what their trip was like. Hearty souls indeed.

For this week’s challenge, share a photo of a landscape: a wide establishing shot of a scene in nature or an urban setting. Landscape photography is typically displayed in a horizontal orientation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have 3 choices for landscape.
A snippet of landscape through the door of a Martha’s Vineyard lighthouse…
The Hudson river flowing east to NYC… taken from Walkway Over the Hudson in Poughkeepsie, NY
A picture of Milford, Pennsylvania taken from High Point Monument in New Jersey… you can see three states from the monument, the highest point in NJ.

In this week’s challenge, share a photo of something that appears like dance to you — whether you choose to focus on objects, animals, or people (actually dancing, or not), try to capture the rhythm in their movement.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My choice for ‘dance’ are these scuptures at the Field Gallery in W Tisbury on Martha’s Vineyard. You cannot but dance with these whimsical statues that dot the field behind the gallery. They make me smile every time I go there :)

This weeks prompt is : a beautiful harmony: a “combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes… having a pleasing effect.”
Of course, harmony also has a meaning outside of the world of music: “the quality of forming a pleasing and consistent whole.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My first thought is of music. My second thought was where you might hear beautiful music. My third thought was… Carnegie Hall of course :)
