The best thing about picking a subject like this? Shapes are everywhere.
So, if you are like me and you wait until the last minute to take your photos, you can go back through the week’s photos and you’ll probably find some shapes.
(that’s what I did, but don’t tell anyone.)
My friends and I went out to dinner last Friday night. It was so beautiful because it was all of us, we can never seem to all get together at the same time, but this night, it just worked and we went to a wonderful restaurant and had so much fun.
The most disturbing part of the night was when Donya ordered sushi AND she was sitting across from me. I know so many of you love sushi but I don’t get it, THE END.
But it made for fun photos, despite the very dimly lit restaurant. And look! SHAPES!
And the following morning, I was able to see my friends AGAIN! At Erin’s son’s birthday party and I took pictures of Sarah Viola’s Asher playing in what he would describe as heaven but what I would describe as SHAPES! (also: CUTE TODDLER!) He and I are best friends forever.
That’s it for me, now it’s your turn to share!
Be sure to read the guidelines and if you play along and your link was deleted, it’s probably because you linked directly to your blog and not your You Capture post, so link carefully, please!
By the way, the winner of the one year of Picnik Premium is WackyMummy! HOORAY! Congrats to you!
As I near the end of my pregnancy, I’m afraid my creative juices are running very, very low. So, rather than picking weekly assignments like “your kitchen table” or “Elbows” I’ve enlisted the help of my friend and creative genius, Nic, from 60 Piggies. (her blog is so happy and fresh and I’m pretty sure she’s going to teach me to sew. Someday.)
Anyway, I asked her for help in coming up with some new assignments and man, did she deliver. So, the next few will be courtesy of her. THANK YOU, NIC!
I present to you:
HOPEFUL.
Have fun, friends and happy capturing!
I can’t get over Asher. And I’m still not sure what I think of sushi, but you make it look really good.

I’ll be trying Sushi for the first time next weekend. Your picture makes me not as scared.
Mmmmm…. sushi! So yummy… As is little Asher!
I hate that I’m at work and can’t see these photos right now! I can only imagine how cute Asher is and how delicious the sushi looks.
Asher looks super sweet!
I can’t really eat sushi because I’m allergic to shell fish, so I totally get being creeped out by it.
This was a fun challenge!
oh HONEY, i am going to teach you to sew AND love sushi. really. because it’s like God’s gift to mouths.
also, loving that photo of asher–the light, the vibrant colors, his darling expression. beautiful capture.
Oh, and mad love for next week’s challenge.
Ooooh, I really like the sushi picture!
And sorry, but would you mind deleting my first link? I linked to my post in a weird way. Thanks so much!
I don’t get the sushi thing either. I can eat it and actually get the urge to do so every once in a while, but rarely enjoy it.
Love your photos! Asher is adorable!
I have never had sushi but don’t think I’d be a fan beacause of the smell.
Asher is adorable!
also also? the ‘creative genius’ thing? is only true if you take out the bit about creativity and the part that says genius.
but you are awfully kind, so thank you.
I have been visiting your blog for a few days and I love the way you see things and arrange your photos !
Mmm sushi! Already racking my brain for next week’s HOPEFUL, you may just get pictures of my elbows on my kitchen table.
I totally don’t get sushi either, but anyway… I love You Capture because it forces me to get my camera out, and to really look around me. Shapes were fun, but I could use a big dose of hopeful. Looking forward to it!
I don’t understand the sushi love either, but it looks good nonetheless. Oh and I LOVE next weeks theme. I can’t wait!

Dude! I don’t get sushi either! Ick.
I wish they made ball pits for grownups. That looks like so much fun!
I only eat non-fish sushi, unless it has cooked shrimp. Love you photos!

Ok..
Sushi – cool photo…yucky food
Ball Pen – Great colors…so cute little boy, just love his face
Theme: very cool, lots of fun
Love your blog, my first time here…great idea for a challenge. P.S. Sushi: gross!
I’ll eat all ya’lls sushi for you.
Wow, Beth! I don’t know what to say! Thank you so much! I’ve been wanting to add piknik to my arsenal, so this is just the most awesome thing! I really appreciate it… it’s made my month. =)

The ball pit shot is brilliant! Vivid colors…and of course an adorable baby!
So I excited for my first You Capture! Part of the reason I started a blog in the first place

I like sushi, but took me a while to understand that
It’s something you have to ease yourself into. I started eating the raw tuna kind (I swore I would never get there) and then I got a friend of mine to try it and she liked it too. Then the next week she found out she was pregnant. She spent the whole pregnancy complaining about how she couldn’t eat the good sushi again! As soon as she had the baby, that’s what she wanted!
Shapes is such a great subject, can’t believe I missed out this week, unless the scones I blogged about count as shapes – maybe I should have linked up afterall, triangles and circles of yumminess!
I am back in the game this week. Thanks for continuing.
I am back in the game this week. (-:
Hi Beth, I just wanted to say that I am relatively new to You Capture (I started at the first of the year) and I am loving it! Thanks for doing this every week!
I’m back!
Funny thing is, I decided to even before I saw next week’s assignment. One guess what I’ll photograph.
Also, I want to like sushi, I really do, but *shudder*.

Oh that sushi is a GREAT shape!
Love the food shapes! This was a terrific challenge. I was able to make it an engaging and fun learning activity with my 3 year old as we had a shape scavenger hunt. Thanks so much for the nudge to get up off the couch and go looking for shapes. You are correct – shapes are everywhere!
Okay Beth. I am hooked. Geez. I’m digging these challenges.
Love the circle photo. I don’t even see a baby in that pic.
This is my first time playing with the You Capture challenge. This weeks challenge was right up my alley.
Love the sushi and the colorful ball shot.
Not a big fan of Sushi but I could definitely jump in a big pile of balls like that : )
FUN!!
That shot of the sushi is marvelous!
Love Asher’s stripey socks!
Fun theme this week.

I do not like sushi…but you certainly made it look pretty! Great pic of the little babe too.
This is just my second week, but I really enjoy seeing everyone’s pictures. Thanks for hosting it.
This is my third comment for the day. I’m so bothersome. THAT PICTURE OF ASHER IS SO STUPID CUTE.

Shapes is such a great topic, I love your picture of the sushi it is so creative. I LOVE sushi, I actually had some for my lunch yesterday, yummmmy!!!
I love taking pictures of the children in the coloured balls they just add a great background.
Most excellent assignment this week. I’m really enjoying being a part of this!
Sushi = YUCK!
And also, HOLY COW! look how big You Capture has become.. You do good things woman..
And also agian.. CAN NOT wait for next week. What a great theme.
I do NOT eat sushi, but you made it look really, really good. I wish I could get motivated to do You Capture. I don’t know what is wrong with me but I wish I could kick my own behind for not joining in!
