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... : )

I found myself a bit pressured today, already! I am enjoying my adventure into the blogosphere - and look forward to getting to know you better.

100 Blessings

It's funny how a project takes on a life of its own. I started out making a list of things I'd like to take pictures of - piles of M&M's, rocks on the beach, license plates hanging on an old garage door. Then I decided it would be interesting to find 100 items about "me," celebrating my 100th post with items about me/my life/etc. This way I could tie my compulsion to blog in to my theme. So, I started THAT list. And when I was done I decided all the things I was collecting, ideas as well as items, were actually blessings. Things about my life that make me who I am and allow me to keep striving to be the best I can be at what I do. Each activity isn't necessarily a blessing, it's my ability to do the things I love to do, and be with the people I love to be with. This became an introspective activity, and that's probably where I am in my life right now. If the shoe fits..., so to speak. So, welcome to my 100th Post ! Without everyone I've met thr

Macro Monday + One

With a little help from my friend (+1=not macro, though taken with my macro lens) Things I Love About Summer (in no particular order, though I see food appears higher on the list than does exercise.) Picnics Fresh fruit Fresh vegetables Celebrations Fireworks Family reunions Quiet, country mornings Showy meadows Gentle rains Thunder storms Family gatherings Children's laughter at dusk The sound of dogs barking Windows open Gently blowing curtains Big puffy clouds Being warm Sandals The smell of fresh cut grass The sound of lawn mowers Sitting on the porch reading Time The colors Flowers GREEN Leaves on the trees Adventures Photo ops Waves on the beach Ice cream Long walks Riding bikes Having church outside at the pavilion Camping Boating Fairs Sunrise and Sunsets The Great Lakes I'm sure this isn't the entire list, but it's a good start. It could also become a "things I'm grateful for" list, as well. We need to take time periodically to reflect on all t

Restoration in the Works!

  The Ammi Wright House.  Built 1888.         Our town has some pretty remarkable older homes and businesses.  Many have already been restored and are residences and/or businesses.   We went to a meeting the other night which focused on how to go about restoring a beautiful old lumber Barron's home - the Ammi Wright house, just off the main street. It has been empty for a great many years and needs a lot of work to bring it back to life.  But this group of people can do it.   The building itself is already purchased as part of an agreement with the Gratiot Area Historical Society.  Located in a nearby town, they have purchased it and Alma will be part of this system.  We are now forming committees for all the areas which need to be addressed, including historical research, fundraising, publicity, etc.  Lots of work, and lots of interest.  There is a steering committee in place, and we all signed up for an area we feel comfortable helping with.  Mine is research, which is no surpris
