One Community

One community.  Ok, so, basically a bunch of people are Kelli followers and joined her in posting pictures about words chosen by one of teh group.

Blue - The Blue of the early morning in Arizona.

Gratitude - I am grateful to have this beautiful dog who loves me so much.

Fun - High school football games, especially the moment the team approaches the stand to acknowledge the band who is there to cheer them on with their music.

Family -  The girl who marches to her own beat made by her own drum...  It's all quietly done, masked so to speak.

I will soon figure out how to have you all see the other participants.
For now check out Kelli.

One Community

One Community is a monthly photo project in which participants photograph their homes and community with a theme in mind. The theme varies by month. The goal is to both showcase similarities and differences in our communities worldwide – and bring us all closer together in understanding through art.

                               The words for October are plant(s), bake, orange, and activity.

Plants - They are now growing in the Herb Garden at Corona Grows.

Bake - A simple cake using the blueberries I had in the fridge.

Orange - The color of Corona del Sol High School.  Included in every sports uniform of the school.

                             Activity - Marching.  The Corona del Sol Marching Band marches every Friday night.

This month’s words were selected by Rebekah. They are: Work, Gold, Centerpiece, and Balance.

Work -  The girls work hard in the clean up stage in the life of a school garden.

Gold -  Yes, he is gold. The backbone that makes many things in my life possible, even while he is being silly.

Centerpiece - They are the centerpiece of everything I do.  Becoming a better person in order to be a good mother has been a focus of my adult life.

Balance - The bicycle as a metaphor for life.  A family, each a bit different from the other, hanging together, in California, pictured above.

One Community - July

One Community is a monthly photo project in which participants photograph their homes and community with a theme in mind. The theme varies by month. The goal is to both showcase similarities and differences in our communities worldwide – and bring us all closer together in understanding through art.

This month’s words were selected by Sue. They are: nostalgia, season, celebrate and Red, White, and Blue!

Nostalgia.  A son misses his father, and times when the relationship was loving and equal.

Season. Sunflowers are special.  They grow in the summer. They need regular watering or they die in this scorching AZ heat.

 

Celebrate.   Percussion students sing Happy Birthday to their Director.

Red, White, and Blue.  My recently deceased sister in law loved red, white, and blue everything.  I love boxes. This is for the two of us.
