    Since raw means untrained and inexperienced, it’s the perfect word to describe me and my photos 🙂 This one is about the frustration we all feel sometimes.

    In this society, when sometimes everything feels fake to me, retouched and virtual, the raw beauty of a sunset feeds my soul.

    P52 Week 38 - Raw

    Caption:
    I struggled this week, but we went for a walk in a nearby town and found a park surrounded by benches. Way too many benches to be normal. They were all dedicated to someone who had died and this particular one was covered in flowers. The sentiment was so raw and this sign hanging beneath it was so poignant – I had to capture it. It says: You know that place between sleeping and awake, that place where you can still remember dreaming? That’s where I will always think of you.

    I can’t help it, from the second I saw what the theme was, I had a dinosaur raw’r in my head and I just couldn’t shake it.

    Mothers & Daughters….there is no other relationship like it…not another one that can replace it. So, when something like cancer creeps in and threatens that..it’s raw, heart wrenching fear that can take over. This is my sweet grandson’s mama, Kelli…and her mom Vicki. I wanted this picture for them both..I wanted it to be raw and real and full of emotion. That’s what they gave me. Vicki is doing well now…she continues to fight every day and works to get better and stronger…and Kelli is right there with her…mother & daughter <3

    39/52 - Raw

    Caption:
    When I think of the word raw, I think about my son and Down syndrome.So I decided to post a photo of my son “in the raw” and write about my own definition. Last week I met with a new mom to welcome their family and answer any questions. As she told her beautiful daughter’s birth story, my own raw emotions came flooding back to me. It’s funny how those emotions can still take my breath, unchanged as if I were experiencing them for the first time. We cried together but we laughed too. I suppose those feelings will always be raw for me.

    Joy. Older sister is in 8th grade, brother in 6th. This baby had to wait until mom kicked cancer’s butt to join the family (thyroid cancer, 4 years ago). The pure, raw emotions that come through when they talk about their little miracle…such a joy to be around.

    M4H 39/52 "Raw"

    Caption:
    This little white church is nestled right in the middle of Mammoth Cave National Park along a winding road. As we visited family in that area today, we stopped here to explore. My great grandparents are buried there, and part of my family used to go there. The church is in its raw, original state…and its simplicity is so beautiful. It’s empty and alone, yet holds so many memories and such rich history.

    Raw (39/52)

    Caption:
    Who knew there were so many definitions of “raw” in the dictionary!? I chose, “in a natural state” – the gourds and their vines coated with dew at sunrise. My little guy received these seeds for Easter and through long months we’ve watched them weave and cling and grow. Now I’m not even sure when to harvest them! 😉 What possibilities blossomed from the tiny specks of life placed in the ground so long ago..

    39/52 Raw

    Caption:
    It has been a raw and emotional week. Ruby our beautiful cat was purring contentedly on the end of my son’s bed the last I saw her before our neighbours brought her lifeless body to us early on Tuesday morning. As a mother it is the first time I have had to guide my children through the experience of losing a furry loved one. I held it together all day and was strong for them. I even picked up the camera to document her passing – is that normal? I took this photo as we said our final goodbyes – Oscar put a few of Ruby’s favourite toys in with her and then had to run back inside to grab his Ted. To be honest, I only managed 2 or 3 shots; it was just too emotional for them. It wasn’t until after my children had shed more tears at bedtime and had finally fallen asleep, that I was able to allow my emotions come to the surface. My unshed tears came flooding thick and fast. A raw reminder about what it is to be a mother and that you always put them first; one that I would have preferred to have not experienced.

  2. M4H P52 Weekly Theme “A Letter of the Alphabet”

    I admit I am a bit weird, but I thought this week it may be fun to pick a letter of the Alphabet and take an image that represents something that starts with that letter. This pretty much means your possibilities are endless. I haven’t seen this one done just yet so I thought we would be a bit out of the box and have fun with it! The actual letter does not have to be in the photo but brownie points if you manage that too!!

    I will be back Monday with Eye Candy to show you off from our previous week’s challenge!

    Also, I want to reiterate that if you indeed are new to this project and want to jump in you are completely welcome. You can find details on what this project 52 is about HERE. If you want to hop in, please do! We love new faces and images in the group!

    The theme this week is:

    “A Letter of the Alphabet”

     

    Happy Shooting!
