Memories, Dreams and Reflections 2010

Memories Dreams and Reflections 890
2010 is quickly coming to an end, so I thought we could celebrate the new year by remembering and reflecting on days past...and dreaming of of the future through photography. With that said, Shannie sent me a list of prompts a few weeks ago that you may have seen floating around Facebook. I have modified that list and posted below. I hope you will be inspired to take a walk down memory lane with us and share your favorites moments from 2010. Feel free to write as much or as little about each photo.
  1. Me! - picture of yourself (you don't have to show your face). What are you most proud of accomplishing in 2010?
  2. I Love You - picture of your husband, boyfriend, children, pets, etc.
  3. Still Laughing... - a moment you're still laughing about now...tell us a story.
  4. Winter Wonderland - a picture that reflects Winter.
  5. Birthday - share a birthday picture (your own or someone you love).
  6. Friends - a picture with friends (this could be your friends or your children with their friends).
  7. I Was Inspired... - could be a picture of your inspiration (person or thing), or inspired by...
  8. Spring Fever - a picture that reflects Spring.
  9. Travel or Vacation - a picture taken on vacation or on a recent travel experience, OR of a place you'd like to travel.
  10. Summer Days - a picture that reflects Summer.
  11. A Day In My Life - a picture of a typical day in your life.
  12. All Smiles - a picture that makes you smile or of smiling faces.
  13. Autumn Harvest - a picture that reflects Autumn/Fall.
  14. Family - a picture of your family or a picture that represents family for you.
  15. Celebrate! - a picture that reflects a celebration.
  16. Let's Do It Again... - a picture of something you'd like to do again soon.
  17. I Miss You - a picture of someone or something you really miss.
  18. Beautiful - a picture of someone or something you find beautiful.
  19. Dress Up - this might be a picture from Halloween or not...but someone who is all dressed up!
  20. Macro - share your favorite macro image.
  21. Holidays - a picture from the Holiday of your choice.
  22. My Favorite - share your favorite picture or memory from 2010.
  23. Don't Ever Change - something you love about yourself, someone, or something that you never want to change. 
  24. Just Because...So There! - share any picture(s) that you really want to share, but doesn't fit in any other category. 
  25. Hopes and Dreams - share what you hope to come or dream for 2011. Feel free to share an image of your choice.
Memories, Dreams and Reflections
 

The beauty of "Memories, Dreams and Reflections" is that you don't really have to photograph anything new, but share photos you've taken all year long. Want to join us? Here's how:
  • Grab the button above and feel free to share it on your blog. 
  • Sign up by adding your blog to the linky below - everyone is invited! You can sign up through the end of the year and visit other bloggers who are joining the party.
  • Start going through your 2010 archives and select photos that represent each prompt (or take a few new photos).
  • Feel free to write as much or as little about each prompt as you'd like. 
  • Feel free to post more than one picture for each prompt if you think it's necessary (I will likely only post one picture per prompt). If you don't have a picture to represent the prompt, skip it...participate as much or as little as you'd like. 
  • If you use any photos that are not your own, please provide a source.
  • On January 2, 2011 I will post a link-up (instead of Scavenger Hunt Sunday). You can post your collection of photos at that time.
  • Have fun!
