Photography Workshop ... Project #3

This week's assignment was more difficult ... I took the time to do it correctly this time.  Here's exactly what we were supposed to do:

"Select a theme like simplicity,serenity, happiness,excitement or loneliness. Next go for a walk and only take pictures that fit into your theme. Create a set of 10 such photos. While this sounds simple it is more difficult than it seems. It will be hard not to photograph other things, but this focused approach will heighten your senses. It will also develop patience and the drive to look and hard for that particular theme."  Chris Orwig- Visual Poetry

My theme is Peace.

I started photographing in the house ... there's nothing much more peaceful than sleeping cats.  I then drove to Culpeper to take my mother to lunch (stopping along the way to photograph whatever I saw that fit my theme).  I made a few stops on the way home, too.

Here are my photos, in the order I took them.
