It's week 47 for the Focusing on Life: 52 Photos weekly photo challenge hosted by Sally over at The Studio Sublime and our prompt this week was:
Centerpiece
"This week focus on what is the centerpiece, the central, most important feature in your day, week, life! It makes you comfortable, brings you joy, brings you peace of mind, or is simply a place of comfort."
For me, this one was easy! Well, I thought it was going to be anyway.
These two. Yep - they're my "Centerpiece". My hub. My Rock. My World. My Everything!

Only they're not much into having their photo snapped. I told them I didn't want to 'cheat' this week and use a photo of them that I already had and so they had better stand there and let me take their picture!
So they agreed. But only for a second.
And only for 1 photo they said.
Well, I think it was about 5 seconds, then they bolted so I couldn't get a second shot! Stinkers!
I played around with some editing and overlays, etc. I used one called 'Logan' on Pixlr. How appropriate, eh?!
And here's the rest of my "Centerpiece". This was taken at our family reunion this summer up near my sis's cabin. With the exception of just a few who weren't able to make it, it's my sister and our two brothers and their families. These wonderful people are also my 'Centerpiece' and part of my 'Everything'!
I'm going to be spending Thanksgiving with some of these folks. Wishing I could spend it with all of them, but grateful for those of us that will be together!
I'm wishing all of you here in the U.S. a wonderful Thanksgiving Day this Thursday and a fun, yet relaxing, holiday weekend.
May you have the luxury of spending time with your family, friends and those you are close to and may you be healthy, happy and 'full' of love and light!
Until Next Time,
Peace, Love and Finding Center!
Cheers,
~Shel~
Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving! I'm centered too but in a whole different way. :)

DeleteThere is nothing more important than family. Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you too Mary!! ;-)
DeleteI've often wondered what I missed not having an extended family...I grew up with virtually no relatives, except immediate family. Enjoy your thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteYes, our family is pretty spread through out the country, but it's nice have a few of us w/in an hours drive of each other!!
Deleteha! that is what my girls do .... stand still for a second then off to something else! It took awhile to get my pic of my daughter for today's blog post!
ReplyDeleteLOL Cynthia - yes, they do make a rather 'mad dash' out of the room every time they see me coming w/my camera,...or my phone now, too! :-)
DeleteLove your before and after pictures! Great post about family!
ReplyDeleteThank you Beti!
DeleteYour photos are filled with their spirit - wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have your family so close so that you can get together! Mine are spread across 3500 miles, so we don't see one another often...we ARE hoping for a family vacation together in Feb 2014 instead of Christmas gifts this year. Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteI like your photo Shel. I totally understand how they feel as I am camera shy too. I come from a large family . and enjoyed seeing yours.
