Beacause of the holiday weekend here in the states, we're a bit late in posting our group pool picks as well as our new word for the week. Thanks to all of you who decided to share your soft pics with us this week and we hope you had a wonderful weekend. Stay tuned for the new word of the week chosen by our monthly mystery guest.

Week 21.....Soft

This week I decided to choose the word soft. It's still rainy here in Northern California and I have been seeking comfort in all things soft and warm. My kids ALWAYS seek comfort in their sweet little soft bunnies that they have had forever.

We can't wait to see your interpretations this week!

Thanks to everyone who participated this week... tune in later today to find out the new word of the week.

Week 20... Weakness

I never had much of a sweet tooth until I became pregnant with my first child. Now three years later, I keep finding myself craving delicious desserts and treats. Last Summer Dairy Queen was our "go to" spot for dessert, considering it was only a block away. I'm sure this summer won't be much different.

After receiving the finished diptych from Kristina last night, she helped me to realize that I had one weakness in particular that I was forgetting... shoes. :)

What are your weakness'?

Once again, there were so many great takes on the word. Check in tomorrow for the next week's word. :)

Week 19......Comfort

Since yesterday was Mother's day, I thought that a perfect word choice for this week would be comfort. As a mother, it is something I am offering on a daily basis and as a child, I was always seeking it. This word can also be thought of in many ways. How do you seek comfort? How do you offer it? I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.....

Thanks to everyone who joined in on this week's challenge... tune in tomorrow for the new word of the week.

Week 18... Darkness

Taking a picture in the dark is not an easy task... at least for me it isn't. I (Barb) chose this word as a way to challenge myself as well as others of you out there who also find shooting in the dark a bit difficult. Have fun this week and don't forget to post your pictures in the group pool.

Week 17.....Change

This week we are honored to have the lovely Maggie aka 68beats join us as our guest. She is a multi-talented photographer, however I am a huge fan of her self-portraits. Her conversions are always amazing and she really captures emotion in all of her images. Her word choice this week was change. As you can see, there are many ways to interpret this word and we are excited to see what you come up with.

masculine

Here are the pictures chosen this week from the group pool. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the group, it's always fun to see the different interpretations. Be sure to tune in tomorrow for the new word of the week chosen by our special guest.

Week 16.....masculine

I thought that since we did feminine awhile back it was only fair to choose masculine this week.

When Barb emailed me her image, I laughed out loud. Apparently, we were thinking the same thing. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with this week....

Thanks again to all who participated this week... it was a joy to see everyones interpretation of the word "fresh". Also, a big thank you to Maegan (aka Madeline Bea) for playing along with us this month as our special guest. Your word of choice was perfect for this time of year :)

Tune in later today for this weeks new word and diptych.

Week Thirteen.......Fresh

This week we are honored that the fabulous Maegan Beishline aka as Madeline Bea is our guest. Maegan is a fabulous photographer with a special gift in still life imagery. She is a wonderful crafter, blogger and mama. She is multi-talented and an incredible inspiration.

As usual our guest was able to choose the word and I love what she came up with. Her word of choice is fresh. You can find so many ways to play with this word and I am eager to see what you all come up with this week. Here is our take on the word....

Stay tuned for the new word tomorrow and our third special guest....

You won't be disappointed. ;)

Week Twelve... blur

This week I thought we would let everyone have a chance to photograph something we all can appreciate... a little blur (aka bokeh). As you can see Kristina and I were on the same page this week on how we captured our blur. I went up close and personal on our first blooming spring flower, and she achieved a wonderful blur and bokeh circles while capturing California's gorgeous tree blossoms. However you decide to capture the word of the week, we hope that you'll share it with us in the flickr group pool.

Looking forward to seeing what you all come up with :)

Week Eleven.....Fun

left, Barb, right, Kristina

We have had some pretty deep weeks lately so I thought it was time to lighten the mood around here.

I chose fun for our word this week because I think everyone is experiencing a bit of the winter blues and I thought this would be a great pick me up. Barb and I both kept it pretty simple....

what could be more fun than running and playing and bubbles? Sounds like a lot of fun to me. ;)

We can't wait see your amazing and creative ideas for this week.
