Happy Wednesday! This week's theme was HOME. Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised at how varied my photo submissions are for each week, and sometimes I'm shocked how similar they are. You'll have to take a look at this week's first and last photos to see what I mean. This isn't the first time I've had something like this!
Enjoy these photos of HOMES.

"Home tweet home
We witnessed the diligence of nest building which always amazes me. Then mama bird appeared and sat and sat and sat in her new home. Alas, she abandoned it and I discovered the proverbial empty nest! We'll never know the fate of the family and property values are declining!"

"People probably don’t think much about the stories that old barns could tell. With fond memories of times with my cousins in the barn at my grandparents’ ranch, I know there are stories of horses romping and getting saddled, cows mooing and being milked, spiders creeping, children playing, bats squeaking, hay smelling fresh in the summer heat."

"HOME... More or LESS"

"My favorite place is the state park in my hometown. When I was in elementary school, my mom and I went there to watch my brother's cross country meets, and then I ran there myself when I got to high school. One day's run took you on a journey through falling light, and one season took you from the bright golden end of summer, thick with grass and bees, to the silver chill of November. After we graduated and moved away to college, my friend and I would come back in the park to run together over the summer. I took this shot last summer, when I came home for two weeks in between finishing grad school and moving for my new job. The park is a little different each year - with new plants growing over old paths, or a rebuilt picnic table - but it's always home. To me, it's the most beautiful place in the world."
