The Letter G

Has it been a week already? I struggled a LOT to figure out what to contribute for G. I ended up looking back through loads of photos to summer 2008 for my contribution. I tried to get a picture of a grader, which we deal with often here on our roads but it turns out I photographed a plow truck! Dang! Doesn't work so well. Can you figure out everyone's contributions. I think you can. Let me know what you think.

The Letter F

I personally had several ideas and took many pictures this week. Had I not already posted our First Family picture of the New Year, I would have used that. I am not sure my family would have waited to see the family picture and I don't like to use pictures twice so I ventured into new directions. I had pictures of ice Fishing, and Fog (a few different options) and thought of many others. I ended up using this picture in hopes that again, I offered a small peek into the images of Alaska.

Do you ever think about what you would take a picture of, given the chance. Here it is, your chance, next weeks letter is G. Have a GREAT time!

The Letter E



Some weeks it is just flat out hard to come up with a connection to a letter. I struggled with the letter E. And I know Kelly did too, a little. This has turned out to be very fun for me and the others too. I love to see how everyone else decides to get their pictures. Often it turns out that the best you can do is look in the dictionary, pick a word and go take a picture. And that's OK. Sometimes there is more meaning behind the picture, I guess everyone uses the project differently. So what would you photograph for "F"? If you think of something be sure to share it with us.

The Letter D


I split the pictures into two parts this week. I wanted you to see my picture in a wider angle and close up.
Do you see the D connection? I have edited last weeks pictures with the descriptions. Did you guess correctly?
Join us for The Letter E, next week!

*Edit-
Jenny-She used Disney or it could be decoration.
Frank- He was still holding onto the cop-connection with donuts.
Kelly-Hers was the obvious with dog.
Christie-Mine was dangerous. I didn't think most of you would have ever seen a danger warning for snowmachining. They are everywhere here in Alaska.

The letter C
Be sure to click on this picture to see a better view of everyone's interpretation of  "C"
***Edit-Cassi's picture was a CUPCAKE  dropped perfectly in the school parking lot. Franks picture was CUFFS. Mine was fairly obvious with Church. Jenny's was COLOR and Kelly's was a plant called a CROTON.


We are still going strong. amongst friends has become one of my most favorite challenges of the week. (Taking a second only to "A Little Gratefulness) My kids have gotten involved and often look for photo opportunities. For my friend Kelly, I think it has almost been a healing process. It's given me the chance to become better friends with Jenny and Frank for which I am very grateful.  And more than anything, my children and I are looking around our world with new interest.  Now if I could just get Scott to get involved. ;)  I'm going to work on him next. And how about you?  Would you like to join us? Leave a comment and let me know you have. I'd love to see your photo next week- The Letter is "D".

THE LETTER A
We decided to go with letters of the alphabet rather than themes for a while. This will broaden the opportunities and lessen limitations while still giving some guidance. Cori and Cali participated this week. They are 12 and 5 respectively. What would you choose to represent the letter A. Join us if you like, next week is the Letter B.

There is more info here.

The theme was motion.  To understand amongst friends, go here. Join us next week if you would like.

Theme for next week- WHITE.


amongst friends #1



Well, I am beginning a new journey on my blog this week, with friends.

Once a week I will post a collage of photos that were taken by friends.
We are a group of friends from all over; Alaska, Florida, Alabama. We are 3 long time friends. We hope to add more friends  as our journey grows. I invite you to join us. Send me your photo by Saturday and I will add it to our collage each Sunday.

For now, since this is somewhat a new experience for a few of us, we will offer a theme. I hope that as we progress we will no longer need one.

So, without further adieu, I give you "Fall", amongst friends.

The theme for the upcoming week is "motion".

*Edit- I was inspired to do this by a wonderful blog ApplesforPoppyAnne who has a similar project titled Earth's Best Sunday's. She in turn was inspired by a book Titled "A Year of Mornings". Be sure to check it out and if you'd like to offer your view of the world amongst friends, please do.
