"The Moment." A moment of surprise, sadness, the look on someones face at a reunion, all human reactions caught to cherish forever.

When times are hard, whether from illness, old-age, diminished mental state or otherwise, it's easy to withdraw from your social circles, turn inward and lose hope.
Deprived from interaction with family and friends you may become trapped behind an imaginary wall of glass. Many people that feel trapped can't break through the wall, but only press their head against it in isolation, fear, and sadness; these feelings take a toll on the human psyche. But, for a few, the "will" finds a grasp and revives hope, and soon the glass is shattered and healing can begin... from the inside - outward. So when you're faced with hard times, please take a look inward and find that shred of hope, because that is what can make all the difference in the world.

Photo Challenge: Dangerous Curves Ahead
Posted by Shayla Simmons — 10 Jun 2013
This Photo Challenge was all about winding, and arduous roads that we
travel, streets such as Lombard Street in San Francisco, Hana Highway in
Maui, Hawaii.
These roads are so curvy that they make you second guess that meal you
just had....but, these roads usually pay off in the views!

Other Worlds to Explore
Posted by Shayla Simmons — 5 Jun 2013
With much of the world having been already discovered and explored, modern adventurists take to the caves, spelunking, diving or ice climbing into some of the most treacherous spots on and in the earth. There are many types of caves; ice caves, caves that animals have made into habitats, caves that are above or below the earth's surface.
The "Everest of Caves" is Krubera-Voronya in Abkhazia in the south of Russia. This cave is the world's deepest known cave. The Krubera-Voronya is an astonishing 7,208 feet deep.
In San Luis Potosi, Mexico, a cave called the Cave of Swallows draws the most extreme base jumpers in the world to experience a twelve second jolt of pure adrenaline.
If you prefer your caves underwater, there are many beautiful undersea worlds to explore, from Russia, to Mexico, to Florida and beyond.
These lucky JPGers have explored on their own and have survived with some incredible shots to tantalize the explorer in each of us...check them out!

If you like to explore and are tired of simply traversing the earth's surface, try a cave....you may want to grab more than your camera, though... Consider employing an experienced guide to help ensure your safe return.
When you get back, upload your pictures and post links in the comment area below. Now, if you prefer to live your life vicariously through others while safely surfing through images on JPG we don't blame you one bit. While you're on your epic browsing journey, if you see a few images you love, create a collection and post a link to share.
Start exploring!!!!

Photo Challenge: Sunday Mornings
Posted by Shayla Simmons — 2 Jun 2013
Sunday mornings can be spent in bed with the sun creeping through the blinds energizing your spirit. Possibly Sunday is spent having coffee and doing a crossword puzzle in the park. Some people like their Sundays to start with dressing up and going to church, followed with brunch with friends and family.

Drop of a Hat
Posted by Shayla Simmons — 29 May 2013
A tall wool hat, a tweed hat, a short little green hat...so many hats! Hats serve a function, this is true; one is to cover an unruly mess of bed head, another is to keep your melon nice and toasty on cold winter days. Hats, however, may be the tell tale sign of the occupation of the wearer. While a fun, tall, white hat betrays the profession of a cook, for example, or the straw hat shades the permanent tan of a farmer. Social rank can also be indicated. Take the Kentucky Derby and the plethora of women who strut a gamut of cherished couture millinery
Here, in these JPG shots, are hats used for function and for fun. There is even a bag turned upside down just for the fun of wearing a hat....who knew!
