Scavenger Hunt: Can you see the Wind?

This morning I woke up to two very emotional little girls.  I think we fast forwarded to the teenage years for a couple of hours this morning.  And now we are pouting in them ... or something like that.  So, I'm blogging pictures, lol!
If you still haven't checked out Ashley's site ... what are you waiting for?  Join her every Sunday to showcase your pictures in five selected themes, and then take five more for next week!
WinterWelcome to snow in Alabama!  We had snow flurries for a few days last week, and the only place they would stick was my husband's car.  I kinda get sad when snow never sticks down here because it is so pretty, but then I remember how horrible it is to drive in.  Southerners turn into the worst drivers ever when they think of snow (and ice).  The day I took this picture, I passed three cars ditches on my way to work.
Black and White with Selective Coloring

I love the 'pencil sketch' feature on Picnik, but you have to have the perfect picture to make it work.  Guess what, I found the perfect picture!

The Wind

I was really excited when I saw the prompt of the wind.  How can you capture something that can not be seen?  I stood in the cold waiting for the wind to pick up long enough for more to take this picture ... on the side of the road in front of my building.  People driving by probably thought I was a crazy person!

I also love how the wind is used for a metaphor for God.  One of my favorites quote from a dc Talk song is 'Can you see the wind?  I've never seen the wind, but I've seen the effects of the wind.  Can you see a breeze?  There's a mystery to it.'



Framed

I kinda feel like I'm taking the easy way here, but I really like this picture, and the power lines already created a kind of frame, so I added a border as another frame.

Remember When ...

I didn't go as far back as some people, just a year.  This was our Christmas card picture last year, taken at Audrey's baptism.  hmmm ... Leah's hair looks really cute.  Maybe we should cut it that way again.
