(Make someone feel good with a picture that you take

At your Periwinkle blue

THIS IS THE OFFICIAL 2013 SUMMER ROUND SIGN UP
for the +Chrysta Rae Photography Scavenger Hunt!
Don't know what that is?
It's an amazing game that has turned into so much more.
If you love photography, and you have a camera,
you can play!
After sign ups (500 spots are open) I will be giving you an item list -
10 simple things to take pictures of.
I give you an amount of time to get those shots done (approximately a month).
You do NOT need to be a professional shooter.
You do NOT need to feel any hesitation on your skill level, as this group of Scavengers is one of the most supportive groups of people around.
This is just FOR FUN.
To get you using your camera in ways you might not do otherwise,
It's to push yourself to try.
Take a good look at the photos below to see examples of just how easy, or how t... more »

A Little Secret
–––
Remember when you were young and felt the thrill of adventure from an open field, the eager anticipation of a Saturday morning? Can you recall when you saw the promise of beauty in a box of crayons and a blank piece of paper, or spent time imagining the details of your beautiful and exciting future?
The characters have changed, but it is still the same story unfolding.
Did you forget this secret to happiness?

My assignment/ challenge from +Jake Johnson was to watch this video

& then-Please show us how you are going to cherish the ones you love...........
Thank you for that video Jake.. He was a brave lad.. & he seems to have had a peace about his decision,
I think he made the loving choice.
It reminded me of the day my Daddy died.............
I'll share my personal story, & try to make it short..
I flew to Michigan to help nurse my daddy back to health..He was only 74 yrs old....
When my little brother & I went to see him in the hospital.. The doctor took us in his office & explained that
Daddy only had a few hours to live.. I was devastated...I loved him so deeply..
The Doc told us that they were not going to try to revive him.. He had an aneurysm
