It's also time to join Bonnie (Pixel Dust Photo Art) for the very first Photo Art Friday of 2013. - I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season.
For the first PAF Bonnie gave us the "optional" theme: This week you have the option of showcasing a piece of photo art that features a word you have chosen to guide or inspire you for the year 2013.
I thought about this a lot and one thing kept popping into my head was about seeking,
"Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God" came to mind right away. I looked up the word,
SEEK which used as an Intransitive Verb means:
My goal for 2013 is to seek more in all walks of my life. In my faith to grow stronger and closer to God, in my family life to be more understanding, in my photography to grow and seek more knowledge of how to become a better photographer. To discover new things and to be bold in that search.
Don't forget to check out all the other great Photo Art entries. I know you won't be disappointed. Why not take up the challenge yourself and post some Photo Art if you haven't ever tried it.
Beautiful! Like your header too :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful words and photo. I wish you happy new 2013.

ReplyDeleteThanks

SueAnn
enjoy all your explorations. Best wishes for 2013.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Ida, this is such a lovely rose, it certainly cheers up a dull morning where I am. Good luck with your word.
ReplyDeleteYour word steeped in Gods word- you cannot go wrong. The rose image is perfect. I am glad PAF is back!
ReplyDeleteBlessings for you and your family as you remember your dad.
What a lovely edit to showcase your word, Ida. It looks like the cover of a magazine.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post, I like your guiding word for the year. I hope your journey is successful.
ReplyDeleteThis year marks the 15th anniv. of my father's passing also. Bless you today as you visit with flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love your photo and your goals for the new year. Have a very nice weekend.
so

A great word Ida, happy new year :)
ReplyDeleteYour goal this year is admirable and we could all benefit from seeking those same goals. Lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteAn admirable goal, Ida. And you will do it well. The picture is beautiful. I look forward to following your growth.

beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSeek and find, i think.
ReplyDeletewonderful, Ida!! I think this is a spectacular word to guide you in 2013.
ReplyDeleteI like your word and photoart. Believe it or not, we sort of think alike. I also chose a rose for my art and the word "seek".
ReplyDeleteMine is not posted yet because I'm having problems with blogger trying to upload my photos. When the problem is fixed, I'll post mine. Better late than not at all. Thank you for sharing, Edna B.
I´m sorry about your father.
ReplyDeleteI like that rose image. When you seek you have to be prepared for what you might find.
Very good word choice and I love your photo art! :)
ReplyDeleteLosing a parent is so hard, Ida. I wish you comfort in your memories.
ReplyDeleteThis is truly a beautiful work of art.
Ida! Grand! Yes, grand comes to mind as I read your post. My father passed on my sister's birthday, so it is hard to recall it is that day, because we are all celebratory about her birthday. I usually recall the year; 1990. My father was 42 when I was born. He lived to be 79. He had had Parkinson's Disease for 18 years. But his death was sudden, too. Just thought you would like to hear about my perception and experience, if it helps any. I love your word. I have chosen "Happiness". I genuinely feel happy lately. I haven't done a blog post on it yet but I will later.
ReplyDeleteHappiness to you as you seek.
:D
I love your rose and your word, Ida. Although I'm not a cat person, I especially love your playful kitty photos in your banner! Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo, and SEEK is such a strong word for your years focus, and I am sure, can get you far! lovely post!
ReplyDelete..seek and ye shall find...perfect selection, Ida, and your use of texture is just what it needed to get the message across even more;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely word and capture. Thanks for visiting me on my blog....
ReplyDeleteYes, beautiful flower, I wish you a year full of creativity.
ReplyDeletenicely done! As a new visitor to your blog I just had to go back and read a few posts - your year end group of 12 fave shots is very cool. You're a great photographer and captured some really amazing shots. I'll be back! (thanks for the visit.)
ReplyDeleteI really like your picture and words. Good luck with your goals and happy new year.
ReplyDeleteLovely image and a beautiful word.
