Weekly Photo Challenge: Unexpected

This week’s Photo Challenge Topic is Unexpected.

When I moved over the summer from a rural farming town to a small but busy Boston suburb (you can read about my adjustment issues on my other blog), I didn’t expect to find a respite from the noise and bustle or nature within walking distance. I was happy to discover a park barely 1 mile away.

This in itself was unexpected, but there’s a bridge at the park that seems so over-the-top for a very small town. At first it seemed unexpected (in a jarring way), but now I find myself loving it and returning to the bridge over and over.

Pigs are Ready for Christmas…

With a “late” Thanksgiving and all the talk of an “early” Black Friday, maybe someone should invent a Turkey in a Santa Suit to cover all the bases?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Habit

A sign became part of a tree…

This week’s weekly photo challenge topic is “Habit.” I’m a bit late getting to it, but I still thought it was worth doing. Why does this photo represent “habit” you ask?

Because ever since I have been participating in these photo challenges, it has become my habit to carry my camera everywhere I go. I don’t want to miss a thing. I was just commenting as I walked with friends the other day, that this habit has increased my mindfulness in my everyday life…slowed me down…made me notice things I wouldn’t normally notice. It has increased my happiness.

It has incorporated creativity into my life like this sign has become inseparable from this tree.
