Mothers: Weekly Photography Challenge
Many parts of the world (but not all) this weekend will be celebrating Mothers day. So we thought it might be a nice theme for this weeks photography challenge.
Feel free to interpret it any way that you wish. It might be a portrait of your Mother (or a motherly figure in your life), you might be a Mother and like to photograph your kids or shoot a self portrait, you might shoot something more on a ‘Mother Nature’ theme or just photograph something more symbolic that relates to the theme. It is totally up to you and your situation.
Once you’ve selected the ‘Mother’ image that you’d like to share – upload it to your favourite photo sharing site or blog and either share a link to it or – embed them in the comments using the our new tool to do so.
If you tag your photos on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag them as #DPSMOTHERS to help others find them. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.
Also – don’t forget to check out some of the great shots posted in last weeks challenge – Blue challenge where there were some great shots submitted.

My mother passed on many years ago, but not a day goes by that I don’t think about her. Hug your mother this weekend, tell her you love her, because you never know, one day she will be gone from this earth.

Hmm, headed to my mom’s tomorrow. She’s not usually too keen on getting her photo taken, I’ll have to see what I can come up with.
In the mean time, here’s a recent one:

It was one of my favorite shots of the year.

“Disclaimer – I did not take and I do not own the photo in this link”
I thought this would have been a champion for this kind of photo challenge.

This picture was taken with a mobile camera while travelling in train.
I could see the warmth of a mother’s love in this.

Why did this arrive in my email just yesterday, May 17, when Mother’s Day was the past Sunday, May 13???? Is email now being delivered by Pony Express? I have noticed at other times that the messages seem to be a bit behind and wondered if it is because I’m a Yank. lol
May 19th, 2012 at 2:47 am
Just noted the date on my previous post is May 19 when it is actually only May 18 here. Must be the time difference between here and down under.
