Weekly Photo Challenge: Illumination

This week’s WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is Illumination.  Looking through my photos, I realized that things can be illuminated from different directions and sources.  It was tough…but I had to narrow my selections down to seven.

This photo was taken in the “Siq” at Petra, Jordan.

This photo is from a yearly event in Cincinnati called “Balluminaria“.  Unfortunately, I had not taken a tripod with me and the wind had picked up…so my photos weren’t as good as I had wished for.

This was taken in Peru…back in 2009.  I remember thinking…”Wow–just the small village is being lit up”!

During the holidays, The Cincinnati Zoo has a fantastic light display throughout the zoo and this is the entrance.

I believe 2013 will bring much clarity or illumination to all of us!

 

 

Weekly Photo Challenge: Delicate

I’ve never participated in the “Weekly Photo Challenge” that WordPress hosts, so I’m excited to be able to contribute.  This week’s challenge is delicate…

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

This photo was taken earlier this year in Columbus, Ohio.  Everyone can interpret delicate slightly differently.  My perception/interpretation is something or someone who can easily break or that you need to treat gently.  Or perhaps when something/someone touches you delicately, softly or tenderly.

While I’m thinking and writing, the thunder is rumbling and the gray misty skies are lit occasionally with streaks of lightning.  Raindrops are delicately clinging to the branches of a bush in front of my house….nature’s very own Christmas lights.

My heart is a bit heavy today…so I’m going to meditate and allow my feelings to be.
