• Weekly Photo Challenge, “Place of Rest”

  
  

  The weekly_Photo_Challenge   always fresh and new on Friday.  The subject  … Place of Rest …  suggested by boydcreek Place of Rest and I am thinking cemetery but I found photos that fit that description but in a happier vein.  Most beautiful outdoor scenes, to me, are places of rest.  So, going fishing into my photos, I have come up with way too many again … This is John’s Birthday in 2005 and, he was resting or trying to.  Our daughter keeps him supplied with Starbuck’s and we go, relax and rest that is until I get out my camera.  He knows what to expect but is so good to put up with me.  Anyway, he was resting and, in a “place”. This is a resting place of my childhood.  This tree still stands or did a year or so ago in the Mount Notre Dame Academy grounds.  I played here many a day under this tree.  I am sure the sisters of the convent found it a spot to rest in the shade as well. We like to get out and when you walk, you need rest stops.  This tree was built for resting and fit John’s narrow frame quite well. If you can’t sit on one, you lean on them.  This is a good resting place to view the water flowing slowly along on this sunny day. You don’t catch me in many photos as I am not as co-operative about having mine taken as John is.  Possibly I put him under a lot of duress  .  Going on, I am resting, in a “place” even if my face is not in view.  I wondered about the camera as I am holding it but reading my notes, my sister was with us on this particular outing and she had her camera with her as well. Another photo of a spot I played and rested in many a day.  This shot is also on the convent grounds but closer to home and home is only a block away.  This old Oak tree provided a lot of shade.  I know it was old when I played under it and I believe many an Indian child would have found it the perfect spot as well.  This tree was taken out not long after our photo visit.  I am so glad I got there when I did. I submit to you that this busy bee is resting his pollen covered butt and legs in a place.  He may be there for only seconds but he looks to be, “temporarily rested”. Not to avoid the issue of final resting place, this gorgeous place is a cemetery.  We love going to it as it is the most beautiful place filled with lakes and trees and flowers giving those who find their final rest there, the most beautiful views.  The reflection is one of many family mausoleums that sit on the grounds.   That’s it for this go round. Keep On Taking Those Photos,
