Challenge - Week 41

"HOPE is that voice inside us that says "I think I can".  It will help us keep walking in a dark tunnel when we know the roof can cave down on us.  It will help us keep climbing to the top of the mountain when we know there are places we can't get good footing.  And it help us get back up when we fall during the race because we are tired and out of breath .   Hope will carry us until our faith is sure. There will be a light at the end of the tunnel.  The top of the mountain will come.  And we will cross the finish line.  So don't give up - hang on to hope and take it one small victory at a time - the day will come we will be victorious."


This Week

There were a lot of words in this quote, and I was struggling a bit to figure out what exactly I wanted to go after. I decided on 4 new pictures, and I went through my old pictures and figured that there were 4 that would go well. Okay, maybe just 3. Faith comes up periodically without my pursuit, and I didn't use the boat called Faith when I took it. Most importantly, I made sure to include all three major components of the quote (reaching the end of a tunnel, climbing the mountain, and finishing the race).

I should point out that a Peregrine Falcon was included in one of this week's pictures. The day will come when someone will be victorious in finding it.

Pictures


Mountaineering***Old Picture***
These people are training to CLIMB TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN. They also practiced falling in case they COULDN'T GET GOOD FOOTING.
Monkey Towel***Old Picture***
This towel folded to look like a monkey is HANGING ON to the ceiling.
Quick and Dirty Race***Old Picture***
Some people WERE TIRED AND RAN OUT OF BREATH during the Quick and Dirty Boat RACE. I think someone even FELL. It's hard to be certain, because I was too late to find a good spot to watch. I don't know who claimed VICTORY because I couldn't see the FINISH LINE.
Faith***Old Picture***
The name is this boat is FAITH
Challenge 41Judging from the shadows, there is a LIGHT AT THE END OF THE shark TUNNEL. It's called the evil fireball of death (sun).
Challenge 41Children can CLIMB TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN even though THERE ARE PLACES THEY CAN'T GET GOOD FOOTING at the Playground to the Sound
Challenge 41The ROOF has CAVED DOWN on the South Dock.
Challenge 41According to a book that I don't think I have ever read, a train has been known to say, "I THINK I CAN."

Considering the fact that I walk along the road to get to Chambers Creek Properties, I'm sure I could have found something. Nothing popped into my head. If I didn't have this backlog, I would have forced myself to find something. Instead, this is another skipped theme for me.
