Shadow Shot Sunday

You take a week away,for a holiday and your camera is a constant on that trip. But you can't escape the lure of shadows! So of course, I have lots of shadows to share from Myrtle Beach - a lot better than the snow we have now! (we got over a foot on Wednesday along with minus degree weather most of the week!)

Here are some shadows from our first day walking on the beach:

and the baordwalk:

Sky Watch Friday

Time to share skies - and after a week of glorious sunrises in Myrtle Beach last week I have a few to share!

And that blue sky was so lovely to see almost every day!

Be sure to check out those wonderful skywatchers here.

Wishcast Wednesday

I have not taken part in Wishcast Wednesday for a while. Time seems to have been at a premium lately and mid week is hectic. But I am home today and hearing the news of Liz Taylor's death, made me think of Jamie's wish question this week:

How do you wish to sparkle?

If ever there was a woman who sparkled it was Liz Taylor. She was legendary and so full of life.

I looked up the definition of sparkle and found this:

1. (v.i.) sparkle to shine or glisten with little gleams of light, as a brilliant gem; glitter.

2. sparkle to be brilliant, lively, or vivacious.

Again - this made me think of Elizabeth Taylor!

There was also a quote by Henry Ford:

"Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait. The grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas."

I am tired of being tired, of being quiet, of being sluggish and careful.

I need to add sparkle to my life; to be more lively and gutsy. I need more enthusiasm, and a surge of energy! I need to find a passion and take it on fully. Life is to be lived, not just endured!

Jamie of Jamie Ridler Studios encourages us to "be a maker of magic and a tender of wishes.

It’s easy. Answer the wish prompt above on your blog . Support wishes by visiting other participants. It’s that simple. There is great power in wishing together. Let the magic begin!"

Taking a break!

Here's wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and week. March Break starts tomorrow and we are off for a welcome rest! I am going to take a break from blogging as well!

When I return I want to celebrate my 2nd year blogversary (March 17), as well as my 500th post! There may even be a giveaway!!

Take care!

Shadow Shot Sunday

Shadows make for fun captures. On sunny days, they are a bit easier to find but once you start looking, they appear everywhere. Here are a couple from this past week:
