Two 4 Tuesday - Triumph - Defeat

This week's Two 4 Tuesday theme is Triumph and Defeat. I thought that the breast cancer walk that my fmaily participates in every year was an excellent example of this. It is celebrating the triumph of so many women (and men) in their battle against breast cancer and also working toward the defeat of this horrible disease that take so many every year. This picture is on the 163 Freeway and if you look real closely you can see the thousands of people winding up the offramp in the distance. It really is inspirational to participate int his walk every year. It is my opportunity to honor the women in my life who mean so much to me.

Shutterday - Brick

This is image is for Shutterday. The theme is brick. We went to Georgia with my grandfather three years ago, and the bricks all had names of local families on them. My grandfather was hunting for the names of his brothers who had both recently passed away. He is the last of his immediate family left, and his feeling was that this would probably be his last trip home. It was a wonderful and bittersweet trip all in one. I will never forget that experience.

Skywatch Friday

Found another new photo site called Skywatch Friday. Don't really get it yet, but thought I would drop this one in for everyone to see. Beautiful sunset a few weeks ago.

Photo Friday - The face

This one is for Photo Friday, the theme is the face. Reilly is too cute, and one of my favorite subjects. When he actually holds still long enough to have his picture taken they usually turn out great. This one he was trapped in the tub, that is the only place I let him eat popscicles because they make such a huge mess otherwise. Enjoy.

Two 4 Tuesday - Man-Woman

This weeks Two 4 Tuesday Challenge is Man-Woman. I immediatly thought about weddings, but wasn't sure if I had a pic I wanted to use, and no weddings in the near future. I was able to find this pic however, and I remembered how much I liked it. The couple was standing in front of the crowd, and slyly holding hands, I couldn't resist taking the picture. A little twist I guess, but I felt like it worked with the theme.

Moody Monday - Moonstruck

Now that school is officially over I am a little more able to participate in my photo challenges. I took this picture just a week or so ago and it fits ferfectlly into this weeks Moody Monday theme Moonstruck. The moon was rising through the clouds and I snapped this from my parent's back porch.

Photo Sunday - Fruit

Photo Sunday is fruit this week. We have this passion fruit vine growing along our back fence. This one in particular caught my attention because it looked like the flower was giving birth, which I guess it esentially is, but you don't often see it so clearly. Not the best pic I have ever taken, but I like it.
