That Sue and her wonderful photo prompts!
We have this beauty to work with this week…

Delicate footprints
Embossed in the fresh white snow
Going up and down

Time to dust off those negatives to find a photo for Hugh’s prompt this week!
1. Take or choose a photo that you’ve taken that shows an object, person or something that is behind something else.
2. Create a new post on your blog entitled “Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Week 16 – “Behind”
3. Add the photo(s) you have taken to the post and tell us a little about what you are showing.
4. Create a pingback to this post or leave a link to your post in the comments section below so that other participants can view your post.
Ok, so that’s going a little far, no I am scrolling through my digital prints for a good answer to the prompt, and to be honest, I have a few! The subject of my inspiration… Sonu Singh… well he is always on/in/under/over/behind things!
Watching life from here
Behind these small barriers
No one can see me

I must admit that this week, the prompt threw me! I’m not saying I take a perfect shot all the time, bit most of the photos that would fit the prompt had my kids in them. ..and I operate on a no kids photo policy!
The prompt…
1. Choose a photo that you’ve taken that shows something or someone in the wrong position.
2. Create a new post on your blog entitled “Hugh’s Photo Challenge: Week 14 – Wrong Position.”
3. Add the photo(s) you have taken to the post and tell us a little about what you are showing.
4. Create a pingback to this post or leave a link to your post in the comments section below so that other participants can view your post.
So I went back… way back… nearly 40 years back and found this doozy! Yup…that’s me!
A lovely pic! I hear you tease
But what’s that swaying in the breeze?
Not leaves or branches, birds or trees
Only a pair of my dad’s undies!

Love… That is the word prompt for Hugh’s Photo Challenge this week. A photo of something that encompasses what love means to you… Check out the challenge here.
There are so many different types of love… from family to friends, platonic to romantic.
What to choose!?
Well, I decided to look to my wonderful parents for inspiration for this challenge. they are truly my inspiration for when it comes to love, and seeing how two people can overcome anything, as long as love is there. I couldn’t choose one photo, there are 4 I have put together in a collage. I hope you can see the love they have, emanating from each shot.
And the poem, this time, is one I wrote when it was their anniversary.

A love like yours
We wish to achieve
That blanket of life
We want to weave
That unerring faith
You have in each other
The respect that you show
For one another
You’re there for us
Whenever the need
The advice you give
We’ll always heed
If we only had half
Of what you had
We’d be so lucky
And we’d be glad
A marriage built
On respect and love
You truly are a match
Made up above.

I hope you enjoyed 🙂
