SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY 5.27.12

cactus on Mom's porch ~ all pics taken 5.27.12

SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY was two days ago! JPE & I were gone for the Memorial Day Weekend - just now getting around to posting last week's SHS.

Check Ashley's blog to see if I'm the last to post!!

The SHS words were:

BENEATH YOUR FEET, CAPTURING MOVEMENT, TEXTURE, FACE YOUR FEARS & CURRENTLY. 

BENEATH YOUR FEET

Standing outside Mom's back patio, this is the view {my stocking toes} BENEATH YOUR FEET.... Mom & Dad gathered & moved these rocks from the house I grew up in... there's comfort in surrounding yourself with things that bring to mind memories of times past!

CAPTURING MOVEMENT

JPE, mom & I went to the Huntington Gardens & Library on Sunday afternoon. Here's a statue of Hermes (the Greek god) or Mercury (Roman god)... his winged helmet signified his role as a "messenger" between humans & god... my best example of  CAPTURING MOVEMENT. 

TEXTURE

In addition to the colors in this cactus, don't you find the TEXTURE of the pink protrusions (leaves?) slightly intriguing? are they soft? will they stick you when you touch them? If... when, my brother reads this post, I'll add the plant name... where is he when I need him?

FACING YOUR FEARS

I've worn prescription glasses since I was in 4th grade. I've always worried about going blind. You might say this statue is an example of FACING MY FEARS... I must add that I don't worry about blindness as much as I used to! My daughter, SLE, was diagnosed with STARGARDT'S (juvenile macular degeneration) at age 15 & she's a dynamo... vision loss has not stopped her!

CURRENTLY

I think life is "blowing me a raspberry"... even though I completed a state-required report, I learned there continues to be an error in the way my organization allocates resources... CURRENTLY, I'm upset & rather discouraged!!!

Join us next week? 

Good Luck hunting for this week's words...

SHINE, FAST, LEFT, PEACE, & PLAIN.
