home sweet home

haiku

Just like the butterfly of Charlane G's lovely haiku and diptych, summer has quickly disappeared. But what joy it's been, while it lasted, as we've gotten so many glimpses into your home with the August One Word Project sponsored by Aaron Brothers and the Show Us Your America Contest. The images were intimate and heartfelt, sweet and stirring. Thank you all for yet another stellar month of images!

We will be announcing our new word for September tomorrow so come on back then. We are going to have some kind of fun! I promise.

In the meantime, pop over the contest site for Show Us Your America and submit something. The contest deadline isn't until Sept 15 so you still have time to enter. If you've already entered, let us know so we can vote for you! I for one would love a shopping spree at Aaron Brothers. I seriously love that store! And speaking of contests and creativity, there is a kid's art contesthappening over there too. We know a lot of you know some pretty talented little shutterbugs!

Thanks again everyone for all the shots of home you shared with us this past month. If you'd like to share your favorite with us today, you can leave a link in the comments. There's no place like home.

I just discovered your blog and I think it is wonderful. I posted your link on my blog. I also joined your flickr group and became a facebook fan. I was a professional photographer for years (wedding and newspaper), but now photograph things that please me. I have always carried a camera everywhere with me, you never know. Thank you again for this beautiful blog.
