When I chose this week’s theme, I partly chose it to selfishly challenge myself to get my camera out and shoot this week. I also wanted it to be somewhat of a challenge.
I tried to think of things that bring me comfort … and the obvious came to mind. A cup of coffee in the morning. My daughter’s hugs and kisses. My husband’s hugs and kisses. A good book. Light summer rain. Waves on the beach. The scent of vanilla. Mom’s chicken and dumplings. Flip flops. Fresh sheets. Black and white chapstick (reminds me of my dad).
That beautiful light at the end of the day … or as my friend Kristin calls it, the day’s exhale. Oh yes.
My kiddo. I find comfort in the everyday. The things that make her her. Like wearing my glasses and “reading” the US Weekly.
I admit it. I love Tivo. At the end of the day when Emma’s asleep and hubby is teaching a night class, there’s nothing quite like sinking into the couch with a snack to catch up on my favorite shows.
Snuggled under the quilt my grandmother made.
So what brings you comfort? Or how did YOU interpret this week’s theme?

Jaime´s last blog ..capturing comfort
There must be something about grandmothers and those quilts. My 95-y-o grandmother used to make quilts that looked just like that.
I knew this challenge as soon as I saw it…but then we got a dog and it brought a whole new meaning to me :)

(First attempt at you capture) Wonderful pictures. I too love my DVR time at the end of the day. I just wish I could capture a shot of my DVR player and make it look like art like you do! Great job!
Deanna´s last blog ..You Capture: Comfort
‘the day’s exhale.’ love that. your photos are all sublime, but the first is my veryfavorite. [there's something about late evening light that makes me melancholy, nostalgic for a place i've never seen that feels exactly like home. sehnsucht, i think it's called.]

Love the picture of your daughter! So sweet.
This week my comfort is not my own but that of two kittens that found their way to my back yard, the comfort we have given them and the comfort they give each other.
this is my first week to join. I’m so excited.
