Weekly Challenge: Muse …

The prompt for Muse is:   what’s your muse — what subject do you turn to frequently, more inspired each time?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finding a muse was easy for me… my muse is the island of Martha’s Vineyard.  I have many favorite places there but the one place I gravitate to all the time, with or without my camera is the Tabernacle in the town of Oak Bluffs. My family teases me about my obsession with taking its picture, they say that almost all of them look the same, but I know the nuances of this building, how the light comes through the stained glass windows differently at certain times of the day… how the shadows of the bench seats make designs on the floor when the sun comes in at a certain angle.  I love this place, it is more than my muse, it’s a place of contentment, restoration and joy for me. Here it is… the Tabernacle as seen through my eyes.

Weekly Challenge: Roy G Biv …

The prompt for this week’s challenge is:  Roy G. Biv: no, he’s not the new bagger down at the grocery store. “Roy G. Biv” is an acronym made of the first letters of the seven colors of the rainbow, to help you remember: Red. Orange. Yellow. Green. Blue. Indigo. Violet. It’s also your photo challenge theme for this week!*

You can attack this challenge in one of two ways: share an image that contains all the colors of the rainbow (or an actual rainbow)…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Forces Of Nature …

The challenge this week is:  This week, share a force of nature from your corner of the world. It can be something as large as the Grand Canyon, or as small as the tiny seedling steadily breaking is way through the concrete in your driveway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can’t actually see the forces of nature at work in these pictures of the Gay Head Lighthouse on the island of Martha’s Vineyard… but it’s because of the erosion of the cliffs that the lighthouse is now being moved.  It stands perilously close to the edge, a mere 46 feet from the edge.  The move has already begun and the lighthouse is expected to soon be in its new location.  For anyone interested, the website is Save The Gay Head Lighthouse… CLICK HERE for link.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Blur …

‘The prompt this week is to share a photo that’s a blur. You could keep your camera out of focus to achieve a blurry photo, or take a photo of something in motion. Or go in a different direction — capture an image of an experience that would otherwise be a blur, or of something in a state of flux.’

~~~~~~~

My photo is of the lights on the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in New York City… I simply pointed my camera and quickly moved it while taking the picture.
