Yes, Lydia gets the creativity award! I so appreciate people who think outside the box and find a different way to illustrate the same concept. For this one, the vote was to go with the machine roller compactor machine but thank you so much for participating.
Looking forward to next time,

Thank you all!
These look really good, in fact, we were very close to using the blessingscaptured’s lighthouse with the rocks in the foreground.
Hopefully, our next assignments will be of more common objects. Thank you all for even considering this out-of-the-ordinary picture request!
Looking forward to next time,

Thank you all so much for contributing pictures!
I would much prefer to use your work than pictures off some stock site, however, I also need approval from the editing team and sometimes we do lean toward choosing other pictures that we find. Real world competition, right? Though I must say that if I’d seen the edited version of @elianafranzenburg…[Read more]

I just got some feedback from the editors who said, “I think what we want is a picture where the snow is clean and white, without fences or trees showing through very much.” I see where they are coming from since it is an illustration the point that our sins are washed white as snow. Anyone have more of a field or hillside covered in undisturbed snow?

It’s amazing how much a snow picture is enhanced by a little sun and blue sky.

Hi everyone! I’d like to announce the winner of the photo contest! Drumroll, please!!!
Thank you all for your creative concept ideas and excellent contributions! The curriculum editors decided that the picture we should use to illustrate “willfulness” is the Frazer’s donkey picture! Congratulations!
Again, many thanks to you all and your pets…[Read more]

P.S. No animal cruelty allowed in the photographing of this picture, please. :/

Hey! I have an announcement to make! Drum roll please…
The decision has been made. We would like a picture of an animal willfully pulling against a leash/guide rope! For an example, see the first picture on the Frazer Family’s post. 🙂 The picture entered that best illustrates the painful fight against the peace of obedience wins the prize.…[Read more]

You got it, Lydia! If you all shoot a concept that us writers/editors have decided to use, it is more likely your picture will be chosen. Let me try to get that decision to you ASAP. 🙂 In the meantime, feel free to keep brainstorming. I’m going to add the calf pulling away from the lead rope to the ideas I’ve given to the writers/editors, that’s…[Read more]

Wow! I’m so encouraged by each idea and all of this brainstorming! Thank you!
My thoughts so far:
I like the ideas that have a positive connotation with obedience and a negative feel for willfulness. This was accomplished in the safe intersection picture for obedience and a wreck for willfulness. It shows the danger of just doing whatever you…[Read more]
