Saturday Photo Hunt...Steps


Have you ever wondered would it would be like to STEP up on the winner's podium? To represent your country in some sport and win? To stand proudly while they played your national anthem? Well my kids got that opportunity and as you can see they were all thrilled, ( well maybe not all of them!)

This is our daughter Suzy (First Place), son in law Tim (Second place), and Canadian son in law Jerry (3rd place) at the Olympic park in Canada hamming it up for the camera. When I thought of steps, I though this would be a great picture for the hunt.

Nice idea. Also, your Canadian son-in-law pretending to wipe a tear really makes the picture for me. :D

He is wiping away a tear... I suppose it is because they are playing the Star Spangled Banner and not Canada's anthem? ;) This would be as close as I ever got to "standing on the podium." My secret fantasy was always to be an ice skater.... even took lessons once.. I was good at the falling down part.

That is so cute! I love the flowers and flags, just like the real Olympics ;)

What a wonderful idea and great choice for the theme, Lazy Daisy!! Whenever I see such events on tv and the athletes' emotion I can't help it and let my tears flow too, silly me.
But it must be so overwhelming to be able to step up on such a podium. Happy weekend!

Yes good photo for the word today!! Thanks for stopping by today and also for correcting my use of the word for those steps in downtown Savannah. I thought I was wrong but could not remember...You know getting old once again and forgetful!! Have a great weekend, Friend.

Interesting choice for the theme. I'd probably cry if I ever stepped up on the podium for my country (Canada) too.

That is perfect. Yes, I often wondered when I was young what that would be like. I wanted to do it. Just never worked out. I'm thrilled that your daughter can experience it!

l.d. i love the joy and spirit that comes out... inner joy always a blessing ...
And ah... having been in all three of those positions in my albeit dubious running career... the steps to making it to take the steps... that's what's remembered - the journey
