FOL14 - Week 26

Wow - half way through the year.  The first part has flown by, if you ask me.  Hopefully the second half of the year will slow down just a tad bit so we can all catch our breath, right?!

For week 26 of the Focus on Life 2014 weekly photography challenge, Sally has given us this prompt:

June 2014: Putting the Fun In Photography

Week 26: Free Space!

"Like the good old bingo cards state, "FREE SPACE" right smack dab in the middle of the card!  We have reached the half way point of the year, REALLY!  

We are half way through 2014!  

For this week you have a "free space" to photography what ever you would like in what ever way you would like."

Oh, so many possibilities.

I took some pics over Memorial Day Weekend while we were up in the mountains at my sis and brother-in-law's cabin.   

I rather like the look of this one, so I played around with editing it a bit. 

And, being our country's symbol of Freedom, I thought it would fit nicely for our 'Free Space' prompt.

I haven't watched the video that Sally no nicely put up on 'softening' your photos - so I'll have to do that because this one might look cool that way. 

Please check out the below links and see what every one else chose as their 'Free Space' this week, won't you?! 

Oh, and be sure to come back 
here tomorrow for the 
Pearls! Pearls!! Pearls!!! 
Blog Hop - Link Up.

I'd love for you to link up with us and show us what you've created with your pearls!

Until Next Time,

Peace, Love and "FREE" Space

Cheers,

Focus on Life: 52 Photos - Week 26: Your Choice!

"Whoa-oh, we're halfway there,...Whoa-oh,....Livin' on a Prayer!"

 

The words to this Bon Jovi song have been going through my head all week.

 

So appropriate too, considering we're halfway through the year at week 26 with the Focus on Life: 52 Photos weekly photo challenge with Sally over at The Studio Sublime! 

 

Wow,...times flies, eh?!

 

For week 26 of the Focusing on Life: 52 Photos challenge, Sally's prompt was this:

 

Your Choice!  This week you get to choose. Pick your own prompt! 

 

Wow,...the possibilities truly are endless with this one, are they not?

 

I chose to snap a pic of my son next to this metal statue in this little town not too far from my sis's cabin. 

 

Despite the fact that the "Masked Rider" (pictured here with out his helmet) pretty much hates having his picture taken, he thought this statue was really cool - considering the subject matter.

 

 

 

 

He said, "That's how I feel when I'm on my bike, Mom.  Riding fast, hair on fire, having the time of my life!  This is exactly how it is!" 

 

"What?!! You ride 'hair on fire' fast?" 

 

"Yep, I sure do!"

 

"With your helmet on, right?'

 

"Of course. I'm not stupid!"

 

"How do you know your hair's on fire?"

 

"Trust me!"

 

 

(!!!!!!! - insert 'Mom Stress' here - !!!!!!!)

 

 

So, on the eve of my 'Baby's' 16th birthday, I thought this was the appropriate photo to post this week.

 

Here's to you sweet boy!

 

I hope you have a Fantastic, 'Hair on Fire' kind of Birthday!!

 

Now it's time to hop on over to the Studio Sublime and see what every one else captured with their prompt of ????? Your Choice!

 

Until Next Time,

Peace, Love and Sweet 16!!

Cheers,
