You Capture - Letters

I thought 'rustic' week was hard but I think 'letters' week is much harder. Like last week I turned to the dictionary for help. And it didn't. Letters meant pretty much what I thought it meant. Either written communication or symbols that represent sounds of speech. Way too abstract for my analytical mind. I need very specific direction.

Then last night we went to Ariel's open house and I spotted these letters:


They seemed kind of all encompassing but I felt like I could do better so I turned to letters that have special meaning for me with two sons in the Army:



Still not knowing if I'm on the right track, I started looking for letters everywhere and I found these:



I felt a little uncomfortable taking a picture of the inside of someone's garage, so I decided to finish with my best letter of all. It's a T but it says so much more than a letter:

    Great collection of pictures. I'm a sucker for your flag pictures too. Those organizations have helped so many.

    The letter A on the rocking chair. Very, very clever!

    Wow, that rocker shot was very neat and I don't think I would have even seen a letter myself. Great spotting! Love the cross too-- definetly more than just a t! A symbol of torture and death turned to a symbol of life and hope.

    Beautiful shots!! Seeing the A in the rocker is amazing ... I would have never seen that. And that last image is so thought-provoking ... you are so right about the meaning.

    Oooh! Very nice photos! I am very fond of the rocking chair. It's funny...The things (like letters) that you wouldn't normally see in everyday objects.
