It’s hard to think of what our lives would be like without our hands, the subject of this Weekly Photo Challenge. We use them in so many different ways – to tie our shoe laces, comb our hair, feed ourselves and others, dress, write, and gesture.  

Another week, another photo challenge. This time, it’s the color blue.

When I saw the topic for this week’s challenge, I swore out loud. Usually, I delete photos that are unfocused or blurry – why keep them, I think to myself. And with a digital camera, it’s easy and it’s immediate. No waiting until the photo’s printed. There’s no reminder, no evidence of my miscalculation. I searched and found this:        

When I saw this little boy walking with a bucket almost twice his size to the nearby river, I was puzzled. Why was he going to the river, I wondered. Isn’t he too small to be going into the water by himself? These questions popped into my head as I watched.

And when I saw...

Sometimes it takes a while to find a photo or photos that interpret the theme chosen for WordPress’ Weekly Photo Challenge. Does this really capture the one word description? Will another reader get it? These are some of the questions that play at the back of my mind as I sift through my collection of photos. One of the first things that came to mind as I saw this week’s...

Sometimes, a photo what describes WordPress’ Weekly Photo prompt doesn’t readily come to mind. I was about to pass on this week’s challenge when I discovered that I have a few photos that I can use. Let me know what you think. This is my submission to this week’s WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen a carrot like this one. When I looked at it, I saw a woman dressed  in a bathing suit lying on her side on the beach.
