Week 1 Photo Challenge 🏡 Home is Where the Heart is 💓 $20 SBD Prize! 📸
Home can be your physical residence- the place you come back to after a hard days work to take off your shoes and relax.
Home can be a corner in your favorite coffeeshop where you go to get away from it all and feel comfortable that you belong.
Home might be your parents house where you grew up, and you might only go back a few times a year but there is nowhere else you feel more "at home."
And still home could be lying in your life partners arms, wherever you may be, feeling completely at ease, safe and secure.
What is home to you? Where does your heart call home?
Tell us in a photo and you could win $10 SBD!
Rules:
- The photo must be your own. No plagiarism or you will be disqualified from any and all contests.
- Add a sentence or two telling us where it is, why it's important to you, and anything else you'd like us to know.

My home is the only place I feel comfortable enough to get my Jam on
Yea! Rock on, baby!
Lol I was a bit rusty with guitar hero. Still can't do all the fingers, but maybe some day :-) Thank you for the great contest. Can't wait for next one :-)
My first foray into Guitar Hero was on a gameboy! With the little hand strap? LOL! It was a bit... difficult ;)
Thank you for entering!
Oh I think I remember seeing those. So glad they made them bigger, lol.
I'm looking forward to the next one :-)
Home is where the heart is and my heart belongs to my family. They are the ones who keeps me in check and focus in my goals. They are precious to me and now our family will grow once more because I am currently pregnant! Hope our new baby grows well and happy just like his older brother! 😊
Thank you for this contest @arbitrarykitten. Hope you'll like my entry.
Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!
My obsession - yes I know it is just a cat? But to me he is not just a cat - he touches my soul in so many ways and gives me so much love, with a few scratches now and then. Will of his own, just like his mom hahaha
There is no such thing as just a cat!
They headbutt their ways into our hearts and link their claws around it so there is no pulling them off <3
He is a doll!
You can say that again - o he holds my heart in those little paws
<3
This is where i have spent most of my time. From elementary school days to my current university era. Behind my desk in my room.
Ah, you know those walls well :)
I know them like the back of my hands
Good morning view from my window! It is great to wake up to this every morning!
That is most definitely an amazing good morning :)
Where is it?
Zagreb, Croatia!
Nice! The serene sunrise before the chaotic busy day I will guess?
Yes! I enjoy peacefulness of it with cup of coffea!
I can seriously picture this :)
Wow, you are so fortunate to have such a stunning view from your home. This is gorgeous!
I’ve been to different places, I’ve known different faces. But nothing and no one could ever compare how safe, secure, comfortable, and loved I am when he is beside me.
His love feels like home to me.
That is so beautiful <3 I understand completely: When my boyfriend and I had only been together a few months, we were talking about places we'd visited and he asked me where my favorite place in the world was. Without hesitation I replied, "in your arms." :) True story <3
Aww. So sweet. 😍 The idea that we always have those arms to hold on to when the world is falling apart, that someone is right there to always believe in us when we refused to believe in ourselves, to have that someone who knows every tiny little details of you and still stayed no mattered how flawed we are.
That is home.
Beautifully said <3
You have a new follower :)
Oh! Thank you. 😊
This is not my own home.but i am living here for almost two decade with my employers family.A house is not home without love peace and harmony .Thats why i love this home even its not mine because i feel comfortable .I thank God for giving me a home away from my own home.
You are so right, a house is not a home without love and peace and harmony <3 You are so blessed!
My home is Atlanta Georgia USA . Born here , raised not far from here and this has been my home for the past 29 years. I moved here shortly after getting married and It was here where I brought my daughter home from the hospital when she was born. I got the house in the divorce and this is where I call home.
Photo was taken with my cellphone.
If you are interested, I have a photo contest too. I hope you will participate.
: )
Lovely purple snowgear on the furbaby ;)
Thanks for the invite, I'm going to check it out!
@arbitrarykitten please do. It is my very first contest. I so want it to succeed so I can share the love with my fellow steemians.
That is my furbaby "Sweet Tea". She doesn't like snow.
I am looking for my entry now, it is on the beach in a hammock ( I see I am not the only one!) I resteemed it for you for visibility as well :)
Can't say I blame Sweet Tea, lol
In the south we do not get much snow so it is an event even if we only get a fraction of an inch.
Thank you for your support!
That's right! Poor furbug probably thought it was the apocalypse! I know my rescue kitties freaked out and were all panicky last winter when they were watching their first snowfall!!
Hopefully she wont fall in the lake and have to get up close and personal with someone by a fire..lol Apocalypse! that is funny..
Sweet Tea would survive by trying to get inside my coat.
Check out the look on her face in this snow photo...
She was ready to go back inside!
LOL!
My home away from home is always my favorite place to wake up... and the fact that it's portable means that the view is always changing.
What an amazing view to wake up in the morning. I agree with you @jctdesign, nothing like a home away from home, a change of air, a change in scenery, adventures abound.
Home is a mindset :) What a great capture!
Thanks...and great contest idea. It is fun to see all the different ways people interpret the theme.
here we as Muslims worship. this place five days we come, this is a very big place for us.
How beautiful! Where is this?
Thank you, this is in aceh, indonesia.
