Doreen of Little Pockets of Happiness chose the theme Celebrate Life! for this week's challenge.
One definition of celebrate: to mark a happy occasion by engaging in some pleasurable activity.
It gives me great pleasure to take photos of things that give me pleasure to look at :-)

I love bright colors and butterflies. My heart jumps when I see a beautiful butterfly... not just because I want a photo, but because it is beautiful and brings beauty to my heart and soul.
I dont' say often "yuck a bug!" because I find beauty in them too. This assassin bug is very colorful upon the azalea petal with lot of pollen abounding... I celebrated its beauty too.
I like the subtle color of a small Orchard Spider. I watch the miracle of it spinning its web and I celebrate.
Frank gave me a gift this week.. no special occasion. A gift that he knows will bring me great pleasure. A step-up ring so I can use the filters for my Sony f717 camera with my Sony A700 camera. I celebrate Our Love.
(this is the only photo I took this week for the shoot-out, the rest of the photos are from my archives)
I celebrate food. Baked sweet potatoes are so nutritious and taste so yummy! (don't you wish you could capture the odors of some things)
The color of a tomato. I love tomatoes! My Mama says that I should be about made of them because I've eaten so many. I celebrate my taste for them and the beauty they are for the eyes.
I have a sweet tooth. So I celebrate a time I made a Pecan Carrot Cake.
Who can help but celebrate the birth of an animal be it bird...
Carolina Chickadee
Northern Cardinal
or Calf and Pigs
I celebrated when I saw a Dad playing with his baby girl....
I celebrated when a dog gave a toddler a sweet kiss behind the ear.
I celebrate Family even when it is a hot August day and it is 113° outside and not much cooler inside the church social hall. Amazing how fast family can eat and visit when it is hot.
Tomorrow I will celebrate our countries birth at home quietly thinking about the great things about our country.
If you would like to join in go to Friday My Town Shoot Out for more information and a list of participants.
What beautiful photography Zaroga. You are a great addition to Friday Shoot Outs and these pictures ar certainly all about celebrating life. Thanks for sharing your talent and may you and Frank have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteNalley is probably going to have hip replacement surgery so I will not be posting as often but will certainly check in with you. Take care.
WOW! Great pictures! I share your love of bugs and butterflies - nature is so appealing to me! And for those of us who have been blessed with loving families, nothing can stop the celebration that arises from a get-together! I also love the pictures of animal/child affection. Very, very cool photos.
