A Challenge Has Been Issued

It has been decided by a group of creative Bloggers that we should challenge ourselves to post every day. This will definitely challenge me, as my schedule is a bit interesting this time of year. Yet the challenge will be a good one, as I work to update and change the format of this Blog a bit.

If you go to http://www.nablopomo.com/ there is more information on this Blogging challenge, as well as a theme for the month - "SWEET." Think in broad terms and you can come up with some really cute ideas. The third week of the month we're also going to add a "color" challenge. So, grab your cameras and start looking!

May Day seems a good day to begin this challenge, don't you think? Today I had to do a little homework for an online photography class I'm taking - this week's assignment is to take photographs of scenic areas and landscapes in our area. Of course, Mother Nature decided to push a cold front through mid-Michigan, so finding favorable conditions has indeed been difficult. We get a little sun, a lot of rain, and a lot of wind, all in varying combinations. A challenge, indeed. Did I mention the flood?
So here are some of my "sweet" photos of the day. Respond to this post with a link to your own, and we can share in the fun! Happy shooting!

Sounds like a great challenge! I am not sure if this will work for me this month, but I would love to try to blog each day in the near future!
My blog is http://shelldransart.blogspot.com
I post 2-3 times a week, I may be able to do more!
Good luck!

I applaude you for taking on this challenge. Spring is not a good time to commit for me and then there is the pressure of coming up with something to post each day. I never want my blogging to become work and then I don't enjoy it.I have to date posted over 500 and that's a lot of photos and words..whew!
I love your sweet photo..I agree all of nature's little ones are sweet to this naturegirl! Thank you for your kind comment.It is a pleasure to meet you! I hope we greet again! :)NG

Hi Sandy, thanks for popping in to my blog and your lovely comment. I'm excited about this challenge too - and definitely a little daunted! It's great to feel that there are others out there so we can cheer each other on though. And there's so much wonderful creativity in this blogosphere - it's very inspiring, isn't it? I look forward to seeing your posts too... : )

Happy Week- being home and loving photography

Roamin Meets the GPS- Stories from the Road Lisa, my favorite Curious Girl , created a wonderful idea for a week of "happy" posts. Share those things which make you happy, bring joy to your life, and generally fill you with happy thoughts (I do love the movie Hook , with Robin Williams). We are just returned from our fabulous 23-day, 5600 mile, 10 state, 4 time-zone adventure, and I am filled with happy thoughts today. I am also aware of the piles of laundry, the dirty car, the grocery shopping, and the weary body. Those are not the things I'll share today! Today it's about the joy of road-tripping. The miracle that we live in such a country that everywhere you go you see something to celebrate. I love driving down the road and seeing something new, or different, or unexpected. We drove for a very long time across the upper mid-west, while following signs for "Wall Drugs." Apparently this is a historic stop, originally a place for those who crossed the coun...

Hidden Gem

Thank you, Georgia , for helping me focus on the hidden gem, the place we love to go and not be found. Not far from home...it IS home. We call it "out back," and once there we are transported to a private place, not visible from houses or road or the casual observer. I couldn't choose just one photo, so I created a collage of this special part of our world. Enjoy.

Celebrating 100 Posts - A Challenge

Yes, we are closing in on our 100th post . Truly amazing. Thank you for reading and participating, helping keep the ideas, words and photos flowing. In honor of this momentous occasion, let's have a party. A party where "100" is featured. Do not become concerned if an idea doesn't pop into your head right away. You have one week to come up with something which includes 100 . Think party, celebration and fun. Think creatively. Think challenge. Photography is about expressing yourself, and challenging yourself. Here's a real stretcher! Celebrate with us by posting a photo (or series) which depicts the number 100 in some way. Let me know if you're going to participate and I'll create a way for everyone to link to each other's pages - chuckling, laughing, crying and surprising. You'll be amazed what you see when you start looking. Still at a loss? Here is a non-exhaustive look at the number 100: 100 years ago (something nostalgic- there's wigg...
