The weekly photo challenge asks us “What inspires you?” What a loaded question!
Is it a beautiful sunset? Is it your family? Is it your leisure pastimes? Is it a stunning image you took with your own camera? Is it your passion? Is it the opportunity for education?

I love your response to this challenge Terri. So much beauty. The pink sky in the Sea of Cortez was especially breathtaking. I’m glad I never managed to sail there….I would have never left 🙂
Gorgeous images today Terri. Just what I needed. Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos with us at #anythinggoes and making us think about what inspires us.
Beautiful pictures! What inspires me? That’s a loaded question. I would have to say people and their life stories, music, and something just as simple as a quote.
It is a well composed post and a great choice to portray what inspires you. I haven’t yet done mine and yours has given me inspiration to start preparing mine. Thanks.
I love the shot at the top of the post, the sun coming through the trees. it’s beautiful.
I find inspiration everywhere. Sometimes in the most insignificant things. Sometimes I am overwhelmed by it, and sometimes I can’t get anything. All or nothing, in other words. 🙂

I can’t get the slide show to load (probably my internet right now), but I love the light you caught in the first photo.

Thank you. The slide show needs Javascript, but you probably know that.
