I had a marvelous response from all of you on last week’s theme of Metal or Season of Autumn. Thanks everyone you always amaze and delight me. I’m proud to announce our featured bloggers this week. Their posts really grabbed my attention. Please check out their posts and congratulate them. Maybe you will be chosen next week.
Featured Bloggers
Corners of the World – Wonderful autumn and metal photos. I especially adore the metal statue.
Maceepuran – Such a breathtaking autumn scene.
Brick House – Awesome choices for both autumn and metal. I enjoy the bicycle photo.
Life In Minutes – I simply adore the simplicity of this dragonfly and the symbolism.
A Day In The Life – Her metal statue is so marvelous. She also has a wonderful autumn shot.
Tish Farrell – Wonderful pumpkin shot. Her work has a wonderful artistry to it.

This week’s Topics: Water / Winter

This is our last week of the Five Elements/Seasons series and today our topic is Water or the Season of Winter. In the description of the Earth Element you can maybe get some ideas for your entry.
The Water energy is a strong generative force centered in the lower belly. When the Kidney Qi is strong, a person is fearless, determined, and can endure many hardships in pursuit of their goals. Persevering by will power is characteristic of those with strong Kidney Qi. The color for water is blue.
This series in particular, look through your archives of photos since we are covering all the seasons of the year. I hope even those of you who don’t have the typical seasons because you live near the equator I hope you want to use the color or element for your posts. Have fun and be as creative as you like.
Current Series: Five Elements/Seasons
- Wood / Spring

Great photos, Cee – although I do feel a bit of sympathy for the turtle, even if he is an inanimate object! I love the first photo with the iced branches. Oregon must be a beautiful state. Here is my entry for this week’s challenge.
