As I've already said, I'm participating in a November Photo Challenge and anyone who cares to is welcome to participate. Leave a link to your post in the comments!
Here is my second installment:
First catching up with...November 4: Comfort
I had to pick up The Bean from school early one day as he had thrown up. He rarely naps anymore, but fell asleep in his "nest" during quiet time.
And onto this past week (or so)'s photos...
November 9: Touch
November 10: Colour
I don't have a photo that really stands out for this one, so I'm putting it on my catch up list.
November 11: Memories
I am really drawn to ghost signs. This was one we walked by in Boston.
November 12: Clothing
My suitcase all packed up for my trip. It was such a shocking realization that packing for only myself is SO easy. In fact, I could have gotten away with bringing much less than I did.
November 13: Rest
Admittedly, this is a bit morbid and not at all what I had in mind when I came up with the word "rest" on this list. But many of the gravestones in the Boston cemeteries had this image on them. I need to do some research to find out the history on it.
November 14: Friendship
Taken by by best friend's fiancee. My best friend and I have both had some ups and downs the past few years that have indirectly impacted our friendship. It was good to spend time together this weekend.
November 15: Movement
The Bean very rarely stops moving. This blurry photo is from a bedroom dance party.
November 16: Beauty
I know why they put the bench by this tree. I could have sat and started at it for ages. Gorgeous.
And here's the full list for anyone who wants to join in...

The image on the gravestone is often referred to as "death's head." Quite common in graveyards that date around late 1600's and early 1700's. Representative of the physical death (the skull) and the spiritual awakening (the wings and ornate decoration surrounding) synonymous with dying in early colonial America.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to take my boring knowledge of history and cemeteries and leave now ;)
