To join in with Tina and other bloggers (here) this week, I went on a search for SOFTNESS in my photographs. Please join me as we explore 10 photos from July 2018.
This first photo is what drew me into the challenge.
This mid-July photo has a soft glow:
This next image has a soft vibe too:
But then – this next photo- is like an opposite of softness.
The hard lines of the buildings, the road under construction, and the warning of a bump ahead – nah, not soft! (and side note – my friend’s Dawn and & Benny gave me a bump sign in 1987 – and this photo was taken while thinking of them).
This next image has a different building – with smooth soft curves in this under construction Les Paul Building:
Still not the softness I am looking for – so let’s explore some more:
There is a softness to these French speciality mushroom desserts:
However, not much softness in the next one – the bartender did smile – but not in this frame – oh no, NOT soft.
This face has a lot more more softness – (what a moment to capture):
And this next one? Yeah… screams softness (this young man said he was her uncle):
And ooooo la la – the soft light highlights on these geraniums brought softness to my face (and reminded me of Mr. Monk Falls in Love S7E6):
Okay – that is my journey looking for softness in July.

I am on the soft side kind of person. I like those soft one 🙂 However, I like the no so soft ones too. The smiling bartender is a nice one and the desert looks great!

Love how you mixed the soft with the not-so-soft Yvetter, very clever!! Fun take on the challenge, thanks for joining us! And BTW, I am the biggest Monk fan of all time so loved your reference to him!!!

ahhh – tina – we have something sweet in common – #love monk
and I should have added some info about the flowers or a video snippet of the geraniums from the show – but could not find one – might have to upload something myself because that is a top 3 episode for me from the entire series –
but here is a snippet of the scene where Layla mentions the traition of geraniums
“Adrian! What are you doing here? I just came to tell you that, I can’t see you anymore.
It’s a legal thing, conflict of interests, and so – So – I understand.
You could’ve just called.
Why didn’t you call? I don’t know.
I could’ve just called.
Why didn’t I just call? It’s no big deal.
It’s no big deal.
(monk gets splashed from a car driving by – and goes to Layla’s for her to wash them real quick like)
Your pants will be dry in 20 minutes.
Monk: I really appreciate this.
People in need That’s my job.
–
Geraniums, right? Yeah, fresh geraniums every day.
Something I learned from my mother.
It brightens your darkest night.
She was right as usual.
– Where is she now? – Back home.
She refuses to leave.
That’s where I get my stubbornness from.
–
(Monk has the bathrobe on…)
– It doesn’t fit? – No, it’s fine.
It’s fine.
There.
Nice and even.
Okay.
It was my fiance’s.
He’s gone for 15 years.
I don’t know why I keep it.
I do.

Love these. The first one has a dreamy soft look I like. The uncle and his niece is such a sweet picture. And, so, you’re a fan of Monk, too! They’re just as much fun on the second go around! 😻🤗

Hi Linda – I still find details in episodes that i have missed the first time.
and dreamy is a good word for the first one – I was trying to think of a word and that one fits – so thx – I tried messing with some edits on that “into the light” simple picture – but the unedited one was just right – hm
