Weekly Photo Challenge: Illumination

Few things in life are more illuminating than a good book. Even fewer books are as illuminating as the Good Book itself, the Holy Bible.

Divina

I was taught to love the holy scriptures in my youth and have made their reading and application a part of my ongoing study. They have been a constant source of light and truth throughout my whole life.

Want a free Bible? Get one here.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Foreign

Definition of Foreign

When changed (even slightly), many things with which we are familiar can appear very foreign indeed.

Take the venerable Kit Kat bar. By all accounts, it’s quite unremarkable—milk chocolate on the outside and wafers on the inside.

Yet, these funky, flavored Kit Kats I found at Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Japan are so foreign that they might as well have come from another world.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wrong

The image below represents all that is wrong in the world.

Spam Single (Warm)

Isn’t it bad enough that we already have “meat” in a can? Do we really need it individually packaged for easy, on-the-go snacking?

I weep for this generation.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside

As a self-proclaimed chocolate snob my usual claim is that when the chocolate is really, really good you don’t need to distract from its flavor by junking it up with filler.

Crunchie Inside (Focus)

However, inside each Cadbury Crunchie bar is a deliciously sweet, honeycombed center that’s just as awesome as the smooth milk chocolate on the outside.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Summer

It’s been quite some time since I last participated in the WordPress Photo Challenge. It’s not that they themes haven’t been inspiring, it’s just that I haven’t been in a photo snapping mood.

But this last week’s challenge is was something I can get excited about—Summer!

Grass (Pop Punch)

From the smell of fresh-cut grass to the way the blades bend beneath my toes, few things remind me of summer more than a lush, manicured lawn. It conjures up memories of picnics and barbecues, afternoon games at Dodger Stadium, and trips to the park.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Ready

Are you Ready for this week’s the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge? I bet you are. Because I’ve never been more Ready (even if I am a bit late).

Pencil & Paper 3 (LOHO)

It must be all the tests I’ve taken over the years, but nothing says ready to me quite like a sharpened number 2 pencil.

Pencil & Paper 2 (Hint of Vintage)

I love that moment right before you put graphite to paper. There are so many possibilities open to you.

Whether it’s a Scantron or a sheet of college-ruled notepaper, as long as you’ve got your trusty number 2 you’re ready for anything.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Hope.

This week NASA shared a super-duper high resolution image (8000 by 8000 pixels!) of the Earth with the world. In case you missed it, here it is. I feel it ties in perfectly with this week’s WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: Hope.

I am moved by the beauty and majesty of our precious planet. What a wonderful world we have been given! It gives me hope for the future.

I didn’t take this picture, but I hope that some of my tax dollars were spent in paying for it.
