The prompt is shadows. The sun shines thru the stained glass windows on the Tabernacle in Oak Bluffs, on Martha’s Vineyard and makes beautiful patterns on the floor.

The sun streaming thru this store window and the words on the outside of the window were shadowed on the frame inside the store.

The prompt this week is to show solitude.
This statue of a lion sleeping in one of the gardens at the Frelinghuysen Arboretum in Morris Township, New Jersey made me feel a sense of solitude.

The prompt: This week, we’re challenging you to think ahead and show your work in a representative photo. If you set New Year’s resolutions, give them some thought a few weeks early. If resolutions aren’t your style, show us something that you want to achieve — it could be setting a new goal, making plans, or even tackling that pile of laundry waiting by the washer. The goal is to get out of the busy “now,” and imagine your new horizon. Go!

I enjoy coloring, have for many years even before it was trendy :) I find it relaxing and creative and lately the pictures I’ve been coloring are of an optimistic nature. I did a calendar of them for 2017. Below are three of my many favorites.

The prompt is to share something that signals the beginning of the holiday season. Here is my entry.
My dad was a police officer in Newark, NJ. For many of his years on the force he worked in the Emergency Squad division. During the long hours between calls the guys would keep themselves busy in various ways like cooking. Near the Christmas holidays they always came up with a special project, like candle making for instance. In 1956 they made Santas. I still have ours. Santa stands about 3 and 1/2 feet tall and is made from press board. After the outline was drawn the guys cut out the Santas and my dad set to work drawing the features, clothing and bag of toys. At that point our Santa came home and my mother and I painted him. You can read more of my family Santa story by CLICKING HERE

The prompt is: In this week’s challenge, show us tiny. Capture something at a smaller scale. Create your own miniature scene. You can also interpret the theme in other ways by capturing your favorite tiny things — from your baby’s hands to belongings that are special to you — or documenting a small, quiet moment in your day.

These miniature books were my father’s and are probably more than 80 years old. They measure 1 1/2 x 2 inches and are leather covered.
The William Shakespeare book is 760 pages long.
