Sometimes as I’m moving around in my day, an image gets stuck in my head that I can’t shake. Sometimes it conjures up a memory, a feeling, or provides an impulse to do something. Often, though, I just see something that I want to capture in my mind for no particular reason-it just speaks to me. I’d like to offer these images up for ‘thought contributions’-as a way to generate a community of ideas together.
Here’s my second ‘Friday Photo’. It was taken a few hours ago as I hiked among some of the biggest and oldest trees I’ve ever seen. They inspired me to use this photo today to generate thoughts…what does it make you think of?
Please share your stories, memories, or just what comes to mind when you look at it. I can’t wait to hear what you have to say!

August 14, 2011So awesome :0) It reminds me of some pictures my husband has from his childhood. It almost make me wish that I could have known him when we were younger.

August 1, 2011Beautiful… things like that always make me feel so small, but at the same time, so awestruck and honored to be part of something so much bigger than me. Beautiful blog!
Anyway, thanks so much for stopping by Misadventures in Motherhood and commenting on “A Hot Mess!” I’m just now getting back to my new followers–it’s been a crazy couple of weeks! I am following you via GFC, and I will be sure to stop back and read more from you when things get a tad less hectic. Right now I’m trying to catch up to everyone I’ve missed while things have been nuts! LOL
I truly appreciate your visit and am glad you enjoyed! Have a wonderful week and keep up your beautiful writing! Love what I’ve seen so far!
Smiles, Jenn

August 1, 2011It just reminds me of the massive potential a little seed has, to grow into such a huge tree, and I’m sure it’s still growing. it’s a great reminder of how we, as humans, also have great potential to do things and achieve things that seem almost impossible…the sky’s the limit! Thanks for dropping by Cool Bean Mommas!

August 1, 2011Sequoia National Forest (I’d really like to go there with the kids), camping in the Adirondack MTS of upstate NY, running down the natural pine trails while training for track, my Native American heritage, my LOVE of the country, sleeping in the woods, longing for freedom, GOD, glory, humanity…
