Weekly Photo Challenge: Transient

Drifters, nomads, and even the state of impermanence: this week, share your photos of transient.  ~Andrea Badgley, The Daily Post.

A leaf, a literal drifter. On its way out to sea or working its way back to shore? Seen floating, lazily, in this inlet. Calm, mellow transient.

Weekly Photo Challenge: A Good Match

The Challenge:

This week, share a photo of a satisfying pairing from your own life….You can mix and match places, people, objects, and activities that represent your idea of a harmonious, pleasing combination.  ~Ben Huberman, The Daily Post

Bright leaf, beachy grasses, feathers, sand. I love how these found objects create a unified whole.

WW: A Day in Cannon Beach

Wordless Wednesday – late in the day, but nevertheless…

Right now there is talk of snow – here in the Willamette Valley and at the Coast – which is pretty exciting for us, as we don’t experience many snowstorms, or even snowfalls.

These pictures, though, were taken in October when I spent a few days in Seaside, with a day trip to Cannon Beach. Here are some views that caught my eye.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Dinnertime

I love this week’s challenge!

While on a long walk at Cannon Beach, I came upon a seagull obviously enjoying a delectable dinner.

A Seagull and His Dinner

I was curious to check out the main course…

…and was dreaming of cioppino as I left him to finish his meal.

Weekly Photo Challenge: State of Mind

This week, let your inner world and the outside one converge in a photo.

Beach Glade

Viewed through a protected glade north of Cannon Beach.  Looking outward, finding joy in observing the world around me, enjoying quiet solitude and thought. The inner world and the outer converge in this photo.

Photos show us the surface of things, but they often tell much deeper stories about the objects they depict — and about the people who take them.

Every photo we take says something about our emotions at the moment of taking it. So this week, share an image where you see a particularly strong connection between what we see and what you felt as you pressed that shutter button on your camera or phone.
