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... : )

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...

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...

Adventure Spots - Ours and Yours

It's June. Officially a summer month, and one I have always loved. It's also a time when I start thinking about having an adventure...to some beautiful, place more distant than my town. Last summer we had a wonderous trip through the western national parks, and spent a little time on the Oregon coast. The Columbia River gorge is beautiful - lush and exotic, fragrant, and heady with motion and sound. The waterfalls are astounding - and we love Multomah falls particularly. There's an upper and lower falls, with hiking paths for those who want to get up close and personal. The regular tourist path is paved, and leads you to this footbridge, spanning the cliff walls between upper and lower falls. Stunning. Where is one of your favorite adventure spots, and why does it touch your soul?
