Welcome to my Quote Challenge Week Two results! If you missed my post on the 16th, this is what I decided to do for National Photography Month –
So, this is my challenge for myself, and I need your help. Please leave me one of your favorite quotes, and I’ll pair it with a picture I’ve taken. The catch (for me) is that it will have to be something I’ve snapped during this month (May 2016).
Nine of my wonderful readers gave me quotes – I used four last week, and these are the five that remain. Thank you to everyone who provided amazing words to pair with my pictures – I had some much fun that I plan to revisit this challenge at some point in the near future. Oh, and I’ve also posted all of these to my Visual Quotes board on Pinterest – please feel free to share them!

Love the picture that goes with my contribution. The squirrel has quite the apt pose for the Ayn Rand quote!
Yeah, that cheeky little bugger (technically a chipmunk) came to mind as soon as I saw the quote. However, since I didn’t rename the photo when I snapped it on the 10th, it took a little extra time finding it again. These critters will run up to my bird seed two seconds after I fill the feeders, and steal it right in front of me! So glad you love it. 🙂
Oh, the wings! I love it metaphorically and as a magical thinking kind of thing. Gorgeous.
Thanks, Jess! While I’m positive that’s a Bluebird, I think it’s also a Juvenile, so it seemed even more apropos.
Nail. Head. These are inspired. Thank you!
Awww, thanks Middle Girl! 😀
OMG, I’m loving these quotes. Some of them are new to me, and I’m a collector of them. Thanks for the amazing images that go so well with the words!
I was thrilled by the wide variety of quotes everyone came up with – and a fair number were new to me as well. You’re welcome, and thanks for contributing such a cool quote to this, Lori!
Well done! Such a nice variety of quotes to use as inspiration.
Thank you, Cyn!
Oh Mr. Lincoln, you wise man. Trying to make up my mind to be happy.
Right there with you, Mel.
