Songography - Signs Edition

Hi,  Welcome to my blog.  I hope you enjoy your stay.

I'm participating this week in SONGOGRAPHY hosted by Kathy, (You'll Shoot Your Eye Out).

This weeks song,  -Signs (Five Man Electrical Band)

 

                                Sign, sign, everywhere a sign

                          Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind

                       Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

 

This sign was put up down the road a few blocks from our house.  The street we live on is already in need of major repairs but the winter caused even further damage to the street in places.  This is one sign you want to make sure you read especially if the shocks on your car don't work that great!

I had hoped to have something way more profound because this song is one of those "makes you think about it" type songs from the 70's but this was the only thing that came to mind today when I went out looking for signs.

I'm thinking though that LIFE can be a "rough road" at times and it's how we deal with it that makes the difference in whether or not we make it through the rough patches. 

I have found this to be helpful in navigating through the rough roads of life:

Isaiah 7:14 ESV         
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 

(Immanuel) means....God is with us.

Trusting and believing in this sign is all I need to ensure my life is on the correct pathway.
Be sure to stop by Kathy's blog and check out the other interpretations of this song.



Scavenger Hunt Sunday - May 20 , 2012

Welcome! - It's been a "busy" week here so I'm going to confess upfront that all but 1 of my photo's this week for Scavenger Hunt Sunday  are archived photo's.  There just wasn't much time for finding new photo's for the prompts and besides these photo's were just dying to have their day in the sun so I went with what I had. 

This weeks prompts were:  Rainbow, Fluffy, Letters, Metal and Tree(s).

Photo's Edited in Pic Monkey and Pixlr-o-Matic. Texture on Fluffy from: RHWest (Plaster Postale)

First up:

RAINBOW:  - I did have a couple of old Rainbow photo's in the archives but none of them were all that spectacular so I decided to go a bit of a different route for this prompt.  The annual Hot Air Balloon Stampede was held this past weekend and on Sunday I caught this shot of one of the balloons and think it qualifes under the Rainbow prompt:

                                                           FLUFFY:  This one was easy because the next door               
                                                           neighbors have this beautiful fluffy cat who's name                     
                                                           just happens to be, wait for it....





Fluffy! - She visits quite often and I snapped this shot of her one day on my mom's front porch.

                                                                      LETTERS: 
                                                                   
                                                                      Again I went with something a bit "out of the box" for this 
                                                                      prompt.  I didn't want to do handwritten letters and I was
                                                                      having trouble thinking of what to do when I remembered
                                                                      that I had a cool photo of a sign that sits on a walking 
                                                                      trail along one of the Creeks and Community College 
                                                                      campus.  It's got lots of "letters" that form words that 
                                                                      become an odd poem of sorts when your read it.  What's 
                                                                      even stranger is that the other side of the sign has more of
                                                                      the poem/story.

                                                                                              METAL:   Awhile back I shared some shots
                                                                                              of a Metal Ball on one of my "Whatever"
                                                                                              Wednesday features so when it came to this
                                                                                              prompt I remembered that the same day I
                                                                                              took those shots I also took some shots of
                                                                                              some rather unusual lawn decorations.

There are actually 3 balls sitting in the yard but the 3rd one wasn't visible in this shot and the ones I got with the 3 balls were blurry so I didn't use them.


                                                                           TREE(S):  I chose a part of the tree you don't often
                                                                           think about for this prompt.  This is one of the old trees
                                                                           in our local city park:

Today is Hubby's Birthday (5-20) so I'll be busy helping him celebrate but I hope to get around to as many blogs as I can and leave comments through out the week if at all possible.

Next weeks prompts are:  Beneath Your Feet, Capturing Movement, Texture, Face Your Fears and Currently. - Oh my those sound like some challenging prompts.
