Well I should be safely back from Ireland by this point but since I am writing this on October 1st that is amere faithful supposition on my part. Cee’s challenge this week is all about vibrancy. Next week I hope to post some of my Emerald Isle pictures on her challenge “Green”.

Even though I am not around to do the Share Your World this week, I want to keep up with the Photo challenges if I can. And since Cee posts the topics ahead I am just going to take my liberty and post this one before I go to Ireland. Today I should be journeying up to Galway and stopping at Kylemore Abbey on the way.
But here are some photos from my trip to The Netherlands and Keukenhof Gardens to tie you over until I get back with those photos.
This week Cee’s challenge is the color Yeller!

I like to photo shop buildings. Something about reversing the light exposure on them just gets me every time.

This week’s challenge was a good exercise in color composition. Here are my contributions and thanks Cee for making me think in color
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is on wheels. Since today’s post was written a week ago (since I am away this week) I cannot link to the current post but this link should get you close enough to look at a ton of other people’s wheels.
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Roads
Here are mine!

This post looked like so much fun I just couldn’t pass it up. Cee has asked us to photographically explain roads for this post at

After you have viewed my thoughts on it, go and see what her other subscribers have portrayed.
“The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Earth or the Harvest Season
I love Cee’s Foto Challenge this week. The harvest season has very special meaning in Christendom. It speaks to revival, gathering in, hope and salvation from coming darkness. Harvest season is a time of great and fruitful labor. Jesus asked,
Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. 36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true. 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.” John 4:35-38 NIV
He also said,
“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. “Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.” – MA 9:37,38
Now of course when He spoke those things Jesus was not talking about wheat or pumpkins. He was speaking of a harvest of souls. People are the harvest of the church. People are the harvest of Christ. He didn’t die for riches or for fame. He didn’t rise again to prove a philosophical point. He came to rescue people broken by the world. We are each a part of his harvest if we want to be!
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
Are you a part of the harvest?
