WordPress Photo Challenge: Look Up
.
That’s one tall building!
Other interpretations can be found in the comments original WordPress post.
Or, if you’re short of time, here are a few I found that I enjoyed.
WordPress Photo Challenge: Curve
WordPress Photo Challenge – Pure
Those of you that live in or around Michigan have surely seen and heard the promotional advertisements aimed at getting tourism. So when I saw that this week’s WordPress Challenge was Pure…and knew I’d be ‘up north’ enjoying some of the best that Michigan has to offer….
Pure Michigan
…well, I couldn’t resist tying the two together.
WordPress Photo Challenge: Jubilant
In our household when you think jubilant you can only picture one thing.
Incoming!

I hope there is a little jubilation in your life this week! Katie and I have planned an adventure. I’m sure she’ll tell you all about it soon.
I’ll tell you later!
WordPress Photo Challenge: Abstract
WordPress Photo Challenge: Landscape
The landscape in Southern Michigan in early April can look like anything. You never know. Could be snow. Could be sunshine. Could be both on the same day.
Yellow willow, brown reeds, red twig dogwood., blue water and sky. Perfect.
But here is what I found out at my favorite park today. It was cold, but the sun was shining and that made it a great day.
What does your landscape look like? Care to share? Post a shot and link it up to the original WordPress post. We’d love to see!
You can see other interpretations there as well. Or if you’re strapped for time, here are some of my favorites, each very different, ….here, here and here.
And let’s hope there’s no more snow in our forecast. I think we’re pretty much done with winter now if Mother Nature would just cooperate.
WordPress Photo Challenge: Harmony
I play clarinet in a community band and within the group are several parent/child combinations. I’ve been lucky enough to watch their musical relationships over the years. It’s been pretty cool, and I think it’s one of the best things about a community band.
For the past few years I’ve enjoyed watching a particular relationship right within my own section; a mother and daughter, both playing clarinet. I know the memories they make playing music together will last a lifetime. They have a special connection and it’s easy to see how much fun they are having.
So for the photo challenge this week I could think of nothing more appropriate than the harmony so obvious between them as we readied ourselves to play a concert on Saturday. What they have is pretty remarkable these days – mutual respect combined with love and a lot of laughter. Just another example, as far as I’m concerned, of the benefit many kids get when they grow up playing music. Especially with their parents.
You can see other interpretations of harmony as comments to the original post. Or you can check out a few of my favorites here, here and here. It’s a good theme. What do you find harmonious around you? We’d love to see, share it and link to the original post.
Guaranteed to make you smile.
WordPress Photo Challenge: State of Mind
Last week we were running through the park in shorts.
But this is Michigan, so this week is different. Can you guess what my state of mind was when I snapped this?
The weather outside is frightful.
You would be correct.

Seems obvious to me that the ground hog lied back at the beginning of this month.
Pretty though
WordPress photo challenge: Seasons
Here in lower Michigan we’ve been confused by the seasons. It’s supposed to be cold and snowy in February. In fact this time last year we had wind, drifts of snow, and frigid below zero temperatures.
So you can imagine our joy at the temperatures this February. And the lack of snow. Sure there are piles of it in the shadowy woods or where city trucks dump their street slush. But mostly, around here, it feels as though we dodged the winter bullet.
Temperatures in the 40’s F (4.44 C) had people running around town like it was the middle of summer. Out at the park I actually stalked a runner for this photo challenge.
I had just finished my own 3.5 mile walk/run, and was climbing into my car for the ride home when I spotted him starting out. I loved that he was wearing shorts in February and that his shirt was bright green. So I shoved the car into gear and raced to a parking lot one mile down the road, where I leaped out and trotted a ways up the path, positioning myself on a curve, pretending to take pictures of the dried up winter lake, when in fact what I wanted was him running in shorts in February in Michigan.
Warm run in February.
To show you that ‘seasons’ can’t always be predicted, and staying flexible is always important.

What season is it at your house? Please share with us, especially if it’s tropical. Because here in Michigan we know for sure that this little respite will be brief and winter will be back with a vengeance soon. So we’ll live vicariously through your photos until June or so when we can enjoy our own summer sun.
Just ignore that pile of snow.
