Weekly Photo Challenge: Escape

Posted on May 17, 2013 Posted in England, Photography, TravelTagged Dartington, Devon, England, Escape, Meditation, Photography, travel, Weekly Photo Challenge41 Comments

This week the theme of the photo challenge is ‘Escape’ and Cheri Lucas Rowlands says
‘Depending on your current mood and headspace, or time in your life, this word can evoke different emotions and conjure a variety of images. Maybe the end of your semester is near, and you yearn for vacation and release: the desire to disappear and run away, the need to unplug and shut off. Or perhaps you imagine quite the opposite: Lost in a maze. Stuck in a room, feeling boxed in, with the worst company. Frustrated in your own thoughts, wondering what to do next.’
The photo I have chosen shows someone escaping into meditation, I wonder where he went.

I just wanted to highlight Isobel’s post that I re-blogged this morning, it’s something that I feel passionate about so if you could just take a look at these beautiful creatures and go over to sign on the link from earlier it would be wonderful. http://isobelandcat.wordpress.com/2013/05/14/save-the-orangutans/

We like it here, but it would be better if there was enough food and nice trees deep in the forest.

Here is our forest

My cousin is hiding up there, he has darker fur than I do because he chooses all his own food!

This is a friend

Will you help to make sure that the baby grows up to have babies too?

Can you see all those rows of trees? They are taking over our habitat and we need help so that we can survive.

With credit to Ross and Lori Hall and Lindy Campbell who took some of these photos while I was too ill to hold my camera!

Thanks Isobel, I’ve seen this destruction first hand in Borneo, I’ve signed, will you?

Isobel (and Cat)'s Blog

I was shocked to read this.
How can we even begin to think of such destruction? Do the mining and palm oil companies have another spare planet to pull out of their pockets when they sucked this one dry?
Do sign the petition.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Pattern

Sara Rosso says ‘Pattern. Patterns are everywhere. Patterns are sometimes intentional and sometimes accidental. They can be decorative or merely a result of repetition, and often patterns can be in the eye of the beholder to discover them.’
I love patterns of course,it’s another reason to photo graph details. Here are my choices.
