A Homespun OSS - June 2008

Ever since I got my first glimpse of this shot from the wonderful Melody of Slurping Life I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. We even featured it in The Daily Click. But sometimes once isn’t enough and therefore I am honoring it as my One Sweet Shot this month. There's just something about the feeling I get from the image; the colors, the compostition, the spin. It's such a evocative image.

And speaking of...there is more beauty and inspiration to be discovered today so get  clicking through this list of other honorees submitted by you; the Shutter Sisters community.

Becca of capture-beauty is honoring this shot from Beth Armsheimer.

Mama of Letters is honoring this shot by springtree road.

Rachel of Parton Ponderings is honoring this shot taken by her cousin (yay cousins!) Victoria.

Camera Shy Momma is honoring this shot by insane mom of 3.

Dr Lyn is honoring this shot by strawberrygoldie.

Lindy at Chronicles of Sqiudgyboo is honoring this shot from Belle and Bear.

MamaNatalie is honoring this shot by secret genius.

Hip Momma is honoring this shot by Sarah Ji.

Emily is honoring this shot from Lawyermama.

Temmy of bird on a wire is honoring this shot by Angela Klocke.

Diane*V is honoring this shot by Jennamelia.

And Hip Happy Hay and Rachael Pasch are both honoring this shot by Nicky Thomas.

As always thanks for playing along. Enjoy the clicks.

And don’t forget that today is our second installment of our Sundays at Home Giveaway.

Leave your comments here with links to your own Home Sweet Home Shot to get into today’s random drawing for a copy of the book America at Home (with your very own custom cover). It’s a really cool book full of great photographs.

The lucky winner of last Sunday’s Givaway is Melissa at The Gossard Girls. Congrats Melissa!

Very cool shots, all of them!
This afternoon, sitting on our deck, trying to soak in the thin Wintery rays of sunshine, this was my sweet moment

Great photographs! Wow.

I love this shot I took of my husband and son looking in the bathroom mirror right after my husband gave my son his second haircut. (And first time not crying, I might add.)

Tracey! You've made my heart go pitter patter. I am thrilled and honored...and it's a rocking gift for my bday Monday. Thanks, sistah. Additional 'thank you' to the kind sistahs commenting here.

OSS always sneaks up on me. I think now perhaps the old brain will remember to honor a OSS next month.
