Are you all ready for another spin around the carnival?!
We have lots of wonderful variety seeing as this time around the theme is 'Whatever Strikes Your Fancy'. Of course you will understand how perfectly fitting then that the photo decorations will be as whatever strikes my fancy. Probably flowers, because I love taking pictures of flowers. But then again, you never can tell... :) However, the first person to come up with *the one word I was thinking* when I put the pictures together, will win a prize! I have a pile of books that I've been itching to give away...
Fun.

Amy,
This looks great - I've missed the CM blog carnival and hope to participate on a more regular basis. Thanks for putting this together - I know how busy you've been! I don't know what word you were thinking of, but I'll guess "blessings". For me, it's been kind of the "summer of Amy" - can you believe how many times we were together? Especially since we were "strangers" until April. What a joy to look back and see what God did for me in meeting you and your family.
Sursum Corda,
Nancy
P.S. - Thanks for including my posts!
Amy,
Great carnival.. perhaps I *should* win a prize for that quadruple whammy.. something to consider anyway.
*agrees with self*
LOL j/k! Can't wait to go through all the posts!
Is the word "summer", "nature" or "outdoors" by any chance?
Thanks for including my post in the carnival. I'm looking forward to reading through the posts over the next two weeks.
My guess for the word you were thinking of is 'vacation'. The photos actually had me thinking of a bunch of words. They are lovely. :)
Nice to see you back! I have no idea. I think Serena's guess of "vacation" was pretty good.

Wow! Thanks for a wonderful carnival Amy - can't wait to work my way through it. I love your pictures. The words 'Summer' and 'Bliss' are evoked in my mind :o)
Blessings
Shirley
Great carnival Amy! I think the word is 'summertime'. :o)
Hi Amy ~~ loved this and all the links. I sent it out to our local CM group.
I'm thinking upon " A Something IN a summer day--" by Emily Dickinson which is not one word : Nature!
Gorgeous photos! Thanks for all the encouragement.
Here's another part of a poem:
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
~ T.S. Eliot, Little Gidding, FOUR QUARTETS
Thanks Amy, I really enjoy this carnival. I can't wait to read everyone's posts. Looks like you've had a great summer, wonderful pictures.
Hi Amy,
I'm guessing "water"
Thanks!
Blue
I'm with Kathy, I was thinking BLUE. :)
JUST got done going through all the submissions and they were all GREAT! Gleaned much from them.
Thank you for the time you put into this :) It is much appreciated!
(just a side note: the second selection of suggested PR articles is stretching my brain and I don't know why! Perhaps I lack concentration...perhaps.)
Coming in late but I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed reading the entries to the carnival...trying to get back to school here in our world.
Seems empty with only one official student...sigh.
