They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Laurence Binyon

CherryPie — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 21:02:14 +0000

I have been thinking about taking part in the 52 photos project for a while but I have not got round to it for one reason or another. Each week Bella gives a prompt to inspire photographers to get creative. The current them is:

Delicate.

Alternate prompts:

soft

ethereal

fragile

subtle

My first photo for the theme isn’t that inspired on my part, but it is a start

PS: I might go back and find I photo for all the other themes too
