Velkommen to Saturday Scavenger Shots, with me, laura b! This week's word was chosen by my blog sistah, Tara @
Eclectic Spaghetti. The word she chose? EMOTION. This is so wide open. Certainly for most photos that I've ever taken, I can still look at them and feel a combination of the EMOTIONs I felt at the time, taking the picture, along with the EMOTIONs I feel now, looking at the picture from some distance. I wasn't sure what to show you here. Finally, I decided to go with this picture from about a year and a half ago.
When I look at this picture I think back and can see that DR looks happy. I know I felt happy. My EMOTION when I saw this picture (of which come to think of it, I was not actually the photographer!) was quite purely happiness and a feeling of safety.
Now when I look a it my EMOTIONs are more complicated. It still makes me happy to see DR in that time and place...but I also feel other things, such as confusion and pain. Lots of EMOTION here, for sure.
Wow, well. Hope that wasn't too EMOTIONal for you guys. I am sometimes fully at the mercy of EMOTION and it isn't necessarily a pretty thing.
Tara has tagged our buddy,
3GirlKnight to choose the next word. Looking forward, as always, to seeing...What. Comes. Next.

Oo, great example. Relationships whip up a plethora of emotions. Not always happy, not always sad, but yes definitely confusion and pain and sometimes mental exhaustion.
Well, it puts that old song in my head.
Tara: Oh my goodness, yes. Sometimes exhaustion trumps all the other emotions.
Dmarks: Bee Gees forever!!!
Bittersweet now, it sounds like.
What a sweet pic. I hope in a few months it can bring back the old emotions and wipe away all the pain and confusion and abandonment issues we all have.
Secret: At this point in time, definitely bittersweet.
Churlita: I love the picture and most of the feelings that go with it. Thank you...I am hoping the exact same thing.
