Weekly Photo Challenge: Twist 1

On a Local Favorite:

Hawaii is known for its shave ice, but our local Taiwanese population introduced a different kind of ice treat to the islands a couple of years ago. Taiwanese snowflake ice comes in many of the island’s favorite flavors and the presentation is a joy to behold.

Per Krista at the Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge:
“Twist” is filthy with meaning: it’s the unexpected, it’s surprise, it’s even an amazing ice cream choice. What does “twist” mean to you?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Work of Art

What is a work of art? Merriam-Webster defines art as something that is created with imagination and skill and that is beautiful or that expresses important ideas or feelings. 

As Michelle W. notes, “Art is everywhere, though: in nature, in architecture, in literature, and more. It’s anywhere we see beauty and meaning.”

So, for this week’s Daily Post challenge she asks that we share a photo of something that’s art to us.

Like many I used to think of art as merely the visual arts, but no longer. Now I realize art can be portrayed in so many ways from great writing, to music, to dance, to design, to film and television production, to creative marketing, to street art, to Mother Nature’s designs, etc. Art can make me smile and bring me joy.

What’s art to you?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Letters 4

Cheri at The Daily Post asked:

For this week’s challenge, share a photo with letters — no matter the alphabet. You can capture a neon sign, a sentence scribbled in an old phone booth, a random letter that’s seemingly out-of-place, or anything else. As you look through your lens, think about how your image might convey something bigger: a snapshot of how we communicate with one another, even if we don’t speak the same language.

I haven’t had as much time as I would like to address this challenge, so I looked back at old photos and used my phone to capture inspiring sayings I saw at the store this week. I look forward to seeing what others shared.
