Weekly Photo Challenge: Enveloped

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Enveloped.”

The Daily Post has asked us…What does enveloped mean to you?

I suppose to be enveloped means to be covered over….

Like my daughter was covered over by my dog, Mercedes in this photo.  It reminds me of a song we used to sing a long time ago in church, ‘I am covered over with the robe of righteousness my Jesus gives to me….” I don’t know how righteous Mercedes is but she is a good dog and she is white.

I suppose to be enveloped could mean to be contained within something….

Like my daughter is contained in the arms of these two school chums.

Like the light of the sun is contained within the branches of this bush. If that is so then maybe to be enveloped is more perception than condition.

Cee’s Fun Foto CHALLENGE: PINK!!!!

I have to admit that at first I was a bit intimidated by the notion of “pink” pictures. I was pretty sure I wouldn’t find much in my archive. But then I started looking and I found a plethora of pink. You can see other pinks by clicking the smiley face above. My gallery of fifty shades of pink (or seven) is below.
