Share Six: August 2022: Travel

This month theme {Travel} was chosen by Sharleen Stuart Photography. Her reasoning was simple. She was traveling and would only arrive home 4 days before we were due to go live. Her pictures would be of travel. However, it is summer months, school holidays, and I am sure that we have all been traveling and have things to share.

The definition of travel is to “go from one place to another, typically over a distance of some length”

For Sharleen, travel broadens her horizons. Opens her up to different ways of life. Gives her the opportunity to meet new people, taste new foods, share new drinks. It helps her to view and understand a completely different way of life to that which she lives. It educates her.

Here are some favorite quotes on travel:

 “Travel opens your heart, broadens your mind, and fills your life with stories to tell.”

“I love places that make you realize how tiny you and your problems are.”

“Travel makes you realize that no matter how much you know, there’s always more to learn.”

“Live your life by a compass, not a clock.”

“Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but photos, kill nothing but time.”

Here is the blog group’s take on travel, at least those who are not traveling 🙂

I am a firm believer that if you ever get the opportunity to travel, then take it. The world is your oyster and there are so many places to visit, so many new ways of life to learn, so many new friends to make. Go, see, learn, engage all of your senses and come away a richer person for doing so.

We look forward to seeing your images on our Facebook page and our Instagram Page.  Don’t forget to tag the Instagram posts with #sharesix_travel Each month we will do an interview with the featured artist, so share your images to be a part of this opportunity.

Lynne Grant Photography chose the theme {All about today}. What happened yesterday, was all about today, one day ago, and what happens tomorrow, will be all about today, the next day. Today is the day that we choose to take our images.

We can do so much or so little. We can hang out at the pool, walk in a garden, snuggle with a loved one. There are so many options to choose from. I cannot wait to see what the blog contributors have come up with for the {All about today} theme.

The day came

I woke

I stretched

I pottered

I nibbled

I wandered

I dreamed

I kissed

I giggled

I loved

The day went

I had done nothing

Yet I had done everything

~ Let’s Rise Poetry

Today is what you make it, so make the most of it. Once today is gone, we can’t get it back. So choose wisely and enjoy every moment.

Share Six: June 2022: Light

#nature, #outdoors, #sharesix, #sharleenstuartphotography, #wiredtothemoon_

This month Janet of @wiredtothemoon_ chose the theme {Light}. The web had so many different definitions for light:

“the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible.”

“an expression in someone’s eyes indicating a particular emotion or mood.“

“provide with light or lighting; illuminate.“

“make (something) start burning; ignite.“

“having a considerable or sufficient amount of natural light; not dark.

(of a color) pale.“

We have a quiet month, with some of our group away, some dealing with illness in the family, some taking a much needed break. However, I hope you join Janet and I to see how we have interpreted this theme

Welcome to May and what appears to have been a challenging theme. Sharleen Stuart Photography chose this theme because she was so impressed with what our previous highlight guest artist shared with us.

Amy shared this incredible looking {Flat Lay}. Sharleen loved the way that everything came together in this image. The colors, the food, the textures, they all spoke to her.

@everythingamylsmith

Having never done {Flat Lay} before Sharleen decided not only to challenge herself but also the blog team. We hope you enjoy what the team has shared.

There seems to be so much going on right now with all of our contributors. Bear with us as we navigate our lives and blogging.

This month Katherine of Cobert Photography chose the theme {Joy}. Katherine and her family have been going through a really tough time and I fully get why she would chose the theme {Joy}.

The definition of {Joy} is “A great feeling of great pleasure and happiness”

We are quieter than normal but I look forward to seeing how each person interprets the theme {Joy}.

This months theme was chosen by Elizabeth of It’s Still Life Photography by Elizabeth Willson. {Revive} is something we all need. The past two years have been hard on every single one of us. We all need a period of Revive to be be honest.

I love watching nature Revive itself from the cold parts of winter. Spring brings new buds, birds get together and before we know it we have chicks. There is something beautiful about see life begin again.

The dictionary tells us the definition of Revive is to:
“Restore to life or consciousness, regain life, consciousness, or strength, give new strength or energy to.”

I am excited to read how everyone will interpret this theme.

Happy New Year! We am so excited to be in 2022. There is so many possibilities for creative artwork to happen here at Share Six, and this month is just the start of it. Jan of @wiredtothemoon_ chose the theme {Abstract_22}. We have done this theme some years ago but it is nice to be able to go back to it again. The sneak peaks are awesome.

The Tate in the UK describes abstract in the following way:

“Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect. Wassily Kandinsky. Cossacks 1910–1. Tate. Strictly speaking, the word abstract means to separate or withdraw something from something else.”

Join us as we look forward to a year of sharing our images and as we enjoy seeing your images. We would love you to share your take on each months theme with us.

This past month we said goodbye to Michele Tremblay. Covid has forced many of us to make adjustments and while we really want her to stay, we know as a group that family comes first. We wish Michele everything of the best for the future.

For now Kathy and Ceri are on a break, and will hopefully be back in the near future. This month we are a small group, but next month Kim will be back to join us next month and we are excited to have her on the team again.

Holiday Wishes: December 2021

As I sit and reflect on this year, the struggles of the past 2 years, and what 2022 may still bring, I am thankful for all of the incredible ladies that I get to blog with. To Ceri, Katherine, Lynne, Kathy, Michele, Janet, and Liz, I thank you for your timeless giving of yourself to this project. I know that this past 2 years has been challenging for all of us, and sometimes we could not blog on a particular month. But you have all hung in there and done the best you could do. I so appreciate that.

To everyone that connects with us either on Facebook or Instagram, and tags us in their image each month, I thank you. The engagement makes this group what it is.

Share Six started out in 2015, and it has been an incredible journey, and I am hopeful that 2022 will be just as good.

2022 will see us say goodbye to Michele Tremblay, and we are sad to see her go, but the past two years have changed much in her life and time has to be prioritized elsewhere. We fully understand and wish Michele well in what the future holds for her.

For whatever holiday you celebrate at this time of the year, we wish you joy, and an abundance of it. If your celebration is limited, then enjoy those that you have. If you are able to gather together with extended family, please do so safely. From personal experience I would encourage you to tell those that you love, just how much you love them. Give hugs where you can, or just sit quietly in the presence of the one you love. Make each moment count. Most of all we know how chaotic holidays can get, and so above all strive for peace in each and every moment.

We at Share Six wish you a safe and healthy Holiday Season, and may 2022 be a year that bring you everything you wish for. Thank you for being part of this wonderful experience we call Share Six.

December 2021 sees us complete 6 years of sharing on Share Six, and I cannot do it without the amazing ladies in this group. Janet, Ceri, Lynne, Katherine, Michele, Kathy, and Sharleen, thank you for being a part of this journey and for sharing your stories each month. I love learning from you all. You are very talented ladies.

This month Ceri of Ceri Herd Photography chose the theme {Autumnal} and we have all just experienced the Autumnal season. For me, down in South Florida it is a lot harder, but even I was lucky this month to actually see and experience it.

The definition of Autumnal is ” of, characteristic of, or occurring in autumn”.

Autumn is that beautiful time of year when the leaves change and natures life span dwindles before succumbing to winter. When the landscape is a riot of color, and the impression is one of beauty.

From the sneak peaks shared, I cannot wait to see what the blog contributors have to offer.

Autumn leads to Winter, and with it comes the holiday season. For those of you who are celebrating, please enjoy your time together. Let there be love, peace and harmony. Treasure every moment, whether near or far. Let your loved one’s know you love them. If you are traveling, travel safely. Let’s pray that 2022, brings more opportunities to hug, and smile and show love. Wishing you every good blessing for your celebrations and may 2022 be a year that makes a positive difference.

“My life is shaped by the urgent need to wander and observe, and my camera is my passport.” — Steve McCurry

Don’t we all, as photographers, feel that way at times. I know I speak for myself and most likely all the other ladies in the group, that when the opportunity arises to wander and observe, I am all for it, especially if it involves a passport. This month Lynne Grant Photography chose this {Quote} for us to blog on.

Covid has really restricted us the past two years, and I know I am about ready to pull out the passport and get myself on a plane and to do some traveling. In the interim, I know we all are confined to mainly local and making the most of what we can do in our immediate area and where we can travel by car.

This month I am excited to see how each one of the blog contributors has interpreted this quote.
