Got The Fever For The Flavor (WWC)

Well, Happy Tuesday everybody. It is nearly Halloween (tomorrow) which is totally unfair. If not for the date of Halloween, I wish that it would always be on a Saturday. Saturday would be the best day for Halloween to fall on... but that's not under my control.

Halloween is my favorite holiday, due to the fact that I love the time of the year, I love dressing up, and I'm a weirdo anyway so I always got into the whole 'evilness' of it since I'm a little devil ;)

I would usually end up dressing like a vampire, or a red devil or something similar. But as I have said before, the "magic" has somewhat faded just because things have changed so much and I don't get to really spend Halloween with my best friend Tamra anymore... It's not a question of age really. I think a lot of people think that certain things are for children, or people who have children. But I say that it's all in your heart and spirit, and if you feel Inspired by a season, or certain activity then nobody can tell you that you're too old to enjoy or celebrate it any way you see fit. Go with it and have a blast.

On that note, it's time to share what little inspiration I was able to muster for this week's Weekly Word Challenge (WWC) brought to us by the ever-inspiring Tink of Pickled Beef. I always feel a little bit inadequate on these things as I either don't get a chance to spend much time thinking on it, or I can't find the right idea... However, here we go with this week's words "Inspire" and "Create".

Inspire

I had to think about this, and ask myself the question. 'What truly Inspires me?'. When I thought about that the answer was clear, although probably nothing new to my viewers, it's my Mother. She inspires me all the time, and has a talent for making me believe I can do anything. Ironically, she is also the one who "created" me, so that's a plus.


Also, just being able to take photos at will ever since I finally got a camera that I could enjoy has inspired me to "Create" paintings out of some of them, so each photo itself is a "creation". One of my tendencies, and talents (that I get from my father) is to constantly shoot these silly self-portraits of myself... So I'll share those for you in my venture to:

Create

Frizzy hair and no lipstick me (not my best).

Windmill's can "Create" in a way...

My father always used his tractor to "create" in the garden

In Other News: Lately I've had the oddest cravings for flavors I haven't tasted in a while... just earlier, I had the sensation that I wanted to eat "Hot Fries" and drink "Sprite"... what strange flavors or cravings have you had lately?? Happy Tuesday (All Hallow's Eve Eve) ;)

(Grr. Blogger ate my comment.)

What are you talking about? I think your photos are GREAT! I especially like the windmill one. The one of your Mom is nice too. I like how you used the whole frame for her, no wasted space. Well done girl!

You don't give yourself enough credit, cause I think your pics are always really good and interesting.

Wow, ditto on Tink & Jay! My favourites are the photos of your mother. You not only framed them well, as Tink mentioned, but you created a MOOD...I actually felt like I saw more than just a 2D image of her. Beautiful!

The pictures were great manipulation of the word 'inspire'!


Self portraits are a joy to look at(if they come out well! lol)


Happy Halloween eve to you :)
