Photos of the Week: Week 17

I am super excited to share my photos today because....it finally happened! I was chosen as a favorite in one of the challenges I enter. Seriously y'all, I have been waiting for this moment forever (17 weeks to be exact!) and I am excited to share my photo with you!

Theme: Quotography - Spring

This is a new challenge just started over at My Perspective. The idea is that you take a picture and find a quote to go with it for each weeks' theme. I love photography and I love quotes, so this was PERFECT for me! I am looking forward to the upcoming weeks as well!

Theme: Keeping In Lines

Last week I was in Santa Fe for work and I had some time to kill between my hearing and meeting some friends for dinner, so I went to the Santa Fe National Cemetery to take some pictures. Having been to Arlington a couple of times, I knew that this place would be beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.

Theme: I Miss You

This photo also comes from the National Cemetery. I loved both of these photos and decided that I could use one for this theme. Every one of these headstones, in every National Cemetery in the country represents a person--someone's son or daughter, husband or wife, grandchild, friend, parent.....Every one of them is missed by someone. Please remember the sacrifices that have been made, and continue to be made, to allow us to live with the freedoms we do.

Theme: Trees

Remember my photos from the hotel/farm/store that I found a few weeks ago? Well I went back and snapped this shot of the entrance. I love these big, old cottonwood trees.

Theme: Anything

Last weekend after Easter church, I went out snapping photos, I came across this and thought that it was so beautiful. It seems like the perfect example of southwest decor. I'm linking this up with Live Every Moment, so be sure to check out the other entries!

Theme: Matthew 5:43-44

I also took this picture last weekend. It is a small grotto and shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe, located in a back alleyway. As you might remember, I have a thing for grottos. I just love the idea of somewhere around a random corner being designated for people to come an pray. I thought that idea was perfect for this week's verse. Be sure to check out the other takes here!
