Photograph Road Signs

My 2nd Photo Challenge was to Photograph Road Signs.
I have found this to surprisingly be quite difficult!  We just don't have interesting signs here in the city.  But I did get a few.

Photograph a Bench

My photo challenge this time was to photograph a bench.  It mentioned photographing the same bench during different seasons.  Doesn't work for this challenge but what a great idea!  See below for my bench pics!  They all ended up being taken with my phone since I'd usually see a bench randomly out and about.  Looking forward to the next challenge!

I STARTED A PHOTO GROUP!

Hopefully it won't fall by the wayside.

I plan to constantly hound the peeps in the group to keep up with our Photo Play Dates and Photo Challenges, but we'll see who sticks it out.  I was called the best Instigator for doing this and that pleased me.

Anywhoo - more on that probably later on my other blog.  But for here I wanted to let you know what I plan to do!

So one of the things we're doing is Photo Challenges.  We're going to pull from the deck of LightBox Cards.

I forsee this being pretty cool!!! 

Anywhoo - we'll pick a favorite from our group of shots we hopefully take during each challenge then upload that one into our shared Photo Drive that one member is working on now.

But for me - I'm going to post them all here!!

What I'm going to do is dedicate one post per Challenge - so you'll see all my photos and I'll deem the winner.  I won't post the blog until I upload my winner so as to capture all the shots throughout the challenge.

So - keep an eye out folks!  My 1st challenge blog should be up by November 5th!

Photo of Nature 3/7

I know these fall in the weed family but I used to pick these as a kid. Sometimes I'd chew on a stem!

My friend Jenn nominated me to post a picture of nature for 7 days on Facebook.  I love to do the photo challenges here on my blog!  So the next 7 posts will be 7 posts of nature!  Thanks Jenn!

Gratitude Selfie 8/10

Because of my little "condition" I basically can't do anything anymore (planes, trains, boats, earthquakes, etc) so I always have to drive. I'm hoping this may change some day but for now I'm super grateful that I actually love to drive!

I am grateful for the ocean and that I don't live too far from it. No matter what is going on in my life I always find solace at the beach.

Gratitude Selfie 3/10

I've been coloring for years. Waaaaay before it became a thing. I loved it as a kid and found I still loved it as an adult! I'm grateful it's caught on as a tool for meditation for people and I'm even more grateful I've always stuck with it!
