Focusing on Life - 19 of 52

This week, Sally asked us to focus on hope.

Emotions, I think, are hard to capture in words, much less in a photo.  As in the last few weeks, I spent most of the week deciding what to photograph.

I settled on an idea and asked the kiddo for help. Luckily she agreed on the spot.


The kiddo loves dandelions and she will always grab one and make a wish as we walk to school or to the park.


Wishing and hoping are so similar that I thought a child's wish might work well for this week.

I tried to capture the little white puffs floating away, but all I got was this:


A few wishes stayed with us.  :)

  7. My dandylions are still bright yellow, don't think any of them have gone to seed... and yes wishing and hoping are the same.... in my opinion anyway!
