Another Bolg Assimgment (Pics Won't Upload!)

Is a picture REALLY worth a thousands words? Of course it is. However, not every picture is worth a thousand words to everyone but everyone could find at least one picture that is worth a thousand words to them.

Can I put down on paper a thousand words describing this picture means to me? You bet I could. Some people out there could probably write more than a thousand words. Once you consider just being able to describe what you see the colors the objects and so on. Then you cold go into how the picture makes you feel. What feelings arise from looking at this picture? For me this makes me feel proud. Proud that I live in a country where I am free. On the other hand I feel sadness because this flag also represents sacrifice. Specifically the sacrifice of our armed forces men and women thru the years that have given their lives defending what this flag represents. And of course you could talk about the memories this picture conjures up. One of my earliest memories of the American Flag is the raising of the flag every morning in Elementary school and saying the pledge of allegiance as they do. And I was on describing the flag in this picture. Now I could go on and on once I move to the scenery in the background and foreground. Most people can relate to this picture and can form an extensive opinion one way or another. Whether they are for it or oppose it, I’m sure both views can be very opinionated.
This next picture on the other hand can be described in lots of detail because there is a lot of stuff in the picture but for them this picture it very personal. It not only represents the objects in the picture but it also represents a milestone in my life and a very memorable experience.

For someone who is close to a particular picture it can mean a lot more than a thousand words. This picture for example most people might see a messy room with blankets on the floor with a dog sleeping. I see a big leap for me. This happens to be what our house looked like on the day we closed escrow and were given the keys. We drove here from San Diego and of course we had not furniture. Some people might think that it’s just a bare room but the milestone this picture represents means so much more. It means finally making that final step forward to complete a change that started more than 5 years earlier. It means the beginning of a journey that has no end in sight but we were willing to make the change because we felt it was the right move. Of course I could go on and on about this particular picture but I think you get the picture.
So to answer your question is a picture really worth a thousand words? I say YES!
