Weekly Photo Challenge: Heritage…

Posted on May 19, 2017 by mvobsession | Comments Off

This week we are to share a photo of something that says “heritage” to us. My daughter Deb and I have been deep into genealogy and tracing our roots. On my father’s side our family, the Freeman’s go back to the original founding fathers of Newark, New Jersey. My 8th times great grandfather (not sure of the number), Stephen Freeman, along with Robert Treat and a host of other men from Milford and Branford, CT founded the city of Newark in 1666. I am the last of our particular Freeman line to be born in Newark as was my father, my grandfather etc.

There are two monuments to the founders of Newark in the city. One is in Fairmont Cemetery where many of my family are buried. That’s Robert Treat on the top.

The other monument, which had fallen into disrepair was restored and put in its new location last year for the 350th anniversary of the founding of Newark. This monument has the founders names on it… there’s my 8times great grandfather, Stephen Freeman.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflecting…

Posted on May 12, 2017 by mvobsession | Comments Off

The prompt: You can find similar reflections and changes in perspective just about anywhere. From water and glass to metallic surfaces, share a photo that captures something reflected back to you in a way that made you look at your surroundings differently.

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

From a log in a river, to the Chrysler Building in NYC, to a restaurant in NJ, to a mirror reflecting a mirror reflecting a window, to docks on Martha’s Vineyard… these are my selections for ‘reflecting.’

Weekly Photo Challenge: Danger…

Posted on May 5, 2017 by mvobsession | Comments Off

This week, share a photo that says Danger! to you. There are lots of places you can take this, not all of them scary.

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

A few years ago I was at the Palisades Center mall in W Nyack, NY and saw this amazing rope climbing course which certainly looked dangerous to me. But then I’m afraid of heights and fear of falling.:) CLICK THIS LINK to read about the rope walk.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Dense…

Posted on March 31, 2017 by mvobsession | Comments Off

The prompt is : This week, share your take on “dense” — you could focus on a natural landscape, or take the theme in a different direction, from a crowd at a rock concert or a busy avenue during rush hour to a fresh loaf of bread, waiting for someone to take the first bite.

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

I was going to try and stay away from fog, trees, flowers, food, cities but you know what, that’s where all the density seems to be. So from boats in a dense fog, to a house covered in lilacs, to the skyline of New York City, to chocolate cake and candy, to the dense colors of freshly spun yarn, and to the density of a sunflower, , here are my choices.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Atop…

Posted on March 16, 2017 by mvobsession | Comments Off

The prompt is :This week, consider your point of view as you respond to this challenge’s theme, “Atop.” If you’re physically on top of a thing or a place — a mountain, a skyscraper — what type of scene do you want to share in your frame? Consider, too, other interpretations of “Atop”

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

Picture #1 is two of my favorite people atop a slide ready to whoosh down.

Picture #2 is atop Cadillac Mountain at Acadia Nat’l Park in Maine. From atop the mountain you can look down at Bar Harbor. I believe Cadillac Mountain is also the most eastern spot in the US and the first to see the sunrise.

Weekly Challenge: The Road Taken…

Posted on March 2, 2017 by mvobsession | Comments Off

I have taken this road forever, I know it like the back of my hand. My heart flutters when I see the words ‘The Islands’ as I know I’m getting closer to Woods Hole, MA and the final leg of my trip to the place that has been important to me my entire life… the island of Martha’s Vineyard off the coast of Cape Cod, MA. This road leads to….
