Hi friends. I am almost too tired to write this post. My kids started school today and I was up way too much throughout the night, tossing and turning and then up way too early this morning and now I am exhausted. (by the way, if I ever do not post You Capture on Wednesday night, it will be up on Thursday morning, I promise.)
Anyway.
PEACE. I hope you all felt peace while photographing PEACE this week.
I did. I took my kids to the park and sat underneath a tree and looked up and peace was staring at me, it was like it was being served to me on a platter.
These images, my children’s laughter in the background and the most gentle breeze. Perfect peace.


It’s not much, but it’s my peace.
I can’t wait to see yours, it’s your turn to share. But first, the doggone rules.
1. You can join in on this challenge at any time! We welcome & love new participants.
2. ONLY SIGN MR. LINKY IF YOU ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTUAL CHALLENGE.
3. Please make sure you are linking directly to your specific You Capture post in Mr. Linky (and not just your site, for instructions, go here) and please make sure you are linking back to this challenge in your post. If you don’t abide by this, your link will be removed. (I know, I’m so mean.)
4. Try your hardest not to reuse a picture from your archives, the goal of You Capture is to get you moving with your camera, get creative! Challenge yourself!
5. Do your best to visit the other participants’ site – everyone loves the traffic, the comments and the feedback (not just you!)
6. And finally, post as many pictures as you want on your post.
I will be deleting links for those that aren’t complying, which is annoying because deleting links is annoying.

FOOD.
oh, YUM.
Happy Capturing!




























Beautiful. If I could capture my children giggling in a photo, that would be the best sign of Peace I have.
Ok, your peace is better than mine. I felt myself relaxing just looking at your shots.
This week was hard.
And I think I could have used this weeks for next week. But hey – FOOD? I can definitely do food!
Ohh… peaceful and serene. Ahh, I kinda think I feel better just from looking at your photos!
I found the same peace in the sun through the trees this week, Beth. Only your pictures are better than mine, SHOW OFF.
I like how you can kinda see a heart shape of the sky behind the leaves. So pretty… Glad you found some peace this week.
Thanks for the weekly challenge. This is my first time participating, and I can’t wait to keep taking pictures. Love the pics, I’ve never thought of doing that before.
I love the second one so much!
I love your captures! They just make me feel happy. : )
Beautiful shot of the sun!
I love how the sun sprays out like it was just perfectly drawn. Peace on a platter, indeed!
So peaceful. Love your sun flare!
So beautiful… When I’d planned on adventuring out for a shot, I was going to lay beneath a tree and wait til the sun streamed through “just so”…
Very pretty. Love the one with the starburst sun but I like the heart shape in the leaves also.
Swing on over and check mine out too!
That shot with the sun filtering through the leaves of the tree is amazing! I hope you find peace today as you enjoy the quiet of your house while the kiddos are at school!
LOVE the sun flare! What a great day that was, huh?
Love it!
sooooooooooo peaceful. love them.
Oh yes, these are so peaceful, Beth.
And next week’s challenge is going to kick my butt. I am SO bad at taking pictures of food.
Looks like Perfect Peace to me!
These are so peaceful. I totally forgot about this weeks challenge
Food… I might be able to pull that off.

Beautiful Beth.
The sun looks so pretty thru the leaves…great shot!
hope you all are ok where you are…
lovely pictures.
It’s FABULOUS!!! XOXO
Beautiful shots! I think we’ll see a lot more of nature with this particular challenge…and probably fewer kids than last week.
Think I might join you next week… You take great photos, btw. love ‘em
Help me! I started checking out the photos and I can’t stop. They are so-o beautiful.
I’d like to try a food picture for next week. See ya then.
Beautiful pictures!!! It’s good to take a minute and gain some peace in our very busy lives.
The green leaves look so soft I want to nap in that tree.
Very peaceful. I love looking up at the sky and trees. Sigh.
