Poetic Winter Photography Challenge: Warmth

Filed Under: Photography

 One kind word can warm three winter months.  ~Japanese Proverb

Another photo of Dustyn to go along with the ones I shared yesterday. I love his warm little smile and gorgeous blue eyes.

 Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire:  it is the time for home.  ~Edith Sitwell

We have a ton of this algae growing. Sign of the warmth?

Also linking up with: Give Me Your Best Shot, PhotoStory Friday, Fabulous Friday, Favorite Photo Friday, Photo Friday, Shoot.Edit.Submit., Oh Snap!, and Look Whooooo’s Snapping.

I wanted to let you all know that in just a week we raised 84% for us to go to the Families for HoPE Conference. I am in awe and so very thankful. If you want to see the banners I have done in exchange for donations go here.

By the way, Kenny is turning 29 on Sunday. Do you all have any ideas of what I should do for him? I am always at a loss for what to do. He will buy whatever he wants, so I would like to do something meaningful and special.

    I love the algae one. It just feels warm. For my husband's 30th, I wrote 30 things I loved about him on post-its and hid them around the house. For mine, he bought me the book 1000 Places to See Before You Die and tag places he wanted to take me. On each tag he wrote a little about why and what we would do when we were there. One of my favorite gifts to date. Happy Birthday to him!

    I can certainly feel the warmth through these photos. And a child's smile always warms my heart. And perfect quotes- I really struggled with that. Thanks so much for joining our challenge!

    I love your son's eyes! I'm loving the detail in that last shot as well. Thanks so much for joining us in the Poetic Winter Photo Challenge. We're moving on to a new theme on Friday, Warmth. Hope you'll stop by and join us again. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. :)

    I definitely feel the warmth while looking at these pictures! So beautiful! Does Kenny have a hobby that he really enjoys or a sport he likes to watch? Maybe you could plan something where you go enjoy that together or watch a game live?
