Weekly Photo Challenge: Fresh

Weekly Photo Challenge for 7/19/13: Fresh – The definition for fresh has a bit of a fork in it – it’s a state (new, recent, previously unknown) and it’s a taste or sensation (cool, sweet, invigorating, refreshing).

With the introduction of this week’s topic, I was not sure what to pursue. However, a couple of items just showed up in my home that seem to fit: fresh flowers and fresh sweet corn.

My wife experienced a slight mishap this past week, requiring “Good Samaritans” to come to her aid. Then, her dear friend arrived at our home this morning with a half-dozen roses. These fresh-cut flowers brightened her day! Grateful for the kindness of friends and strangers to bring aid and refreshment in the midst of pain.Fresh FlowersOne of the tasty parts of summer is fresh produce, and there is nothing that compares to Iowa sweet corn. It is just now coming into season and it is good!

Fresh Iowa Sweet CornIt will be fun to look for some other examples of “fresh” this week.

The “Golden Hour Challenge” is to capture that shot in the first or last hour of sunlight. This picture captured my sister combing the beach at sunset on the Florida Gulf Coast.Karen on Beach

1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky proclaims the work of His hands.2 Day after day they pour out speech; night after night they communicate knowledge.3 There is no speech; there are no words; their voice is not heard.4 Their message has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun. 5 It is like a groom coming from the bridal chamber; it rejoices like an athlete running a course. 6 It rises from one end of the heavens and circles to their other end; nothing is hidden from its heat. (Psalm 19:1-6, HCSB)
