For this week’s challenge, share an image that depicts transition. Let life itself be your muse.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Watching the candles on my Thanksgiving table transition from beginning to end.
The End.

The prompt: In your photo this week, focus on the win, the victory — that moment of glory and pride you’ll remember forever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t bake often, almost never, but when I do it’s never been from scratch… until last year when I wanted to surprise my daughter with a homemade cake that I had baked. I wrote this post on my other blog and thought I would share it here today as my ‘victory’ challenge :)
I decided to make a pound cake in a bundt pan. I mixed all ingredients, well, except for one which I couldn’t find in the pantry and figured it wasn’t all that important … how much of a difference could a tsp of baking powder make anyway.
I even melted some chocolate to add to the pound cake… thought it would give it some oomph and who doesn’t like at least of dash of chocolate in a cake.
Into the oven it went and then it was only a matter of waiting to see if it would come out of the cake pan in one piece ! Yay… it did.
Maybe the baking powder would have made it a little taller but I like to think of it as a petite pound cake.
The victory cake complete with candles :)

The prompt is: This week, share with us a photo of something that you consider a marvelous treat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cliche though it may be, a treat for me was when my daughter took me into NYC and we went to Dylan’s candy store… and also stopped at Serendipity II for their famous frozen hot chocolate which I adore…and do not share :)

The prompt this week is to show something careful… I’d certainly be careful about parking beyond this sign :)

The prompt is :(Extra)ordinary, because our own ideas and experiences will shape our interpretations. What’s mundane yet meaningful to you? What’s a beautiful everyday thing?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I just came back from Plymouth, MA where I visited the Mayflower and what I think is extra-ordinary about these photos is the beautiful and vibrant October sky… blue always seems bluer in October

Weekly prompt: Where do you go when you need to think? What do you do when you need to restore yourself, to ready yourself to take on the coming week with energy and verve? How do you get your sense of humor back? How do you recharge your groove?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There’s no doubt in my mind as to where my happy place is… it’s Martha’s Vineyard… it’s where my heart and soul reside and where I feel restored and peaceful and happy.
I know I use a lot of photos from the Vineyard here, and I have been trying to use pictures from other places…but this week’s challenge HAS to be the Vineyard… just no way around it :)
My happy place is the Tabernacle in the town of Oak Bluffs … no matter when I’m there I go and sit quietly and listen to my inner voice.
Peace. Serenity. Beauty. Home. Memories.

Boundaries impose limits on us, whether they’re social constructs or real, physical objects. They’re there to stop us from doing or saying what we actually want to. But they also give structure to our actions and frame our movements. In photography, they help our eyes make sense of what we see and convey a sense of visual narrative. They constantly invite us to push against them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My first photo of my interpretation of boundaries is this ‘do not enter’ sign on a usually closed gate in a private lake community in NJ…
My collage is from my visit to the Thomas Edison Laboratories in West Orange, New Jersey last December…

My interpretation of change. I think the fortune cookie fortune is the perfect touch. :)
