This week was a blur. As I mentioned yesterday, I had a dentist and hair appointment on Monday…and then had to go back to the dentist on Tuesday for a filling. I don’t remember having cavities as a child (and my mom is convinced that people don’t have them anymore with all the fluoride in the water), and I had my first cavity filling a couple of years ago…but this time seemed different.
Random teeth story: I had tooth sealants (plastic resin that a dentist bonds into the grooves of the chewing surface of a tooth as a means of helping to prevent the formation of tooth decay) put on my back molars when I was young. Over time, those sealants chipped away and last year, my dentist removed a couple of them completely. Since then, she’s been watching those teeth and decided on my visit Monday that it was time for a filling. Well, the procedure itself wasn’t too bad – 15 minutes tops – but, I felt off the rest of the afternoon. I even left work early to get some rest…I didn’t even want to pick up my camera.
Anyways, enough about my teeth. If you’ve been participating in the Scavenger Hunt each week, I hope this week’s items inspired you. If you’re new to the Scavenger Hunt…WELCOME! Next week’s items are sponsored by Kathleen at Treasured Chapters, February 2011 Photo Hunt and The Clip Cafe.

Without further discussion…here are my interpretations this week:
1. Shadows
I should have gotten a bit more creative with my shadow shot, but I just wasn’t feeling it this week. Once it gets warmer outside, I’ll be much more interested in going outside for longer than it takes me to walk to my car.
2. Patterns/Repetition
This might be my favorite shot of the week. I went to work the other day telling myself that I needed to look for patterns or repetition. Late Thursday afternoon, the sun was beaming. So, I walked over to my blinds with my camera to see if something interesting might appear through my lens. Absolutely!
3. Bright White
I’m not exactly sure what compelled me to photograph toilet paper this week. However, the other night when I was thinking about the Scavenger Hunt and “bright white,” I ended up in the bathroom. I’m kinda digging the composition of this shot – I love some nice open white space! I’m linking up with Ray’s First Photography Challenge: Bathroom.
4. Strong
Alright, so technically this is “strength,” but I knew that I wanted to photograph scripture. I originally wanted to use Psalm 138:3 (New American Standard translation) “On the day I called, You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul.” Unfortunately, my translation did not have the word strength in the sentence (stouthearted), so I decided to move to Psalm 118:14 instead, “The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.”
5. Warmth
If I’m completely honest, it never gets too cold in North Carolina but I’m a southern girl…I prefer heat (although I could pass on our humidity). Anyways, I’m thankful that our heating bill isn’t too outrageous…thus, it’s always warm in our home. By the way, can you tell I like white space?
