So are you all enjoying this challenge so far? I know I am. I’m learning so much from looking at the photographs that all of you have shared (and your tips and tricks have been invaluable). I think the main thing I’ve learned is always have my camera ready, because I never know when a picture~taking opportunity might occur…
Last week, after picking up Miss 18 from school, we decided to visit the local conservation center just to see what they had… Oh my gosh, it was beautiful and crazy at the same time. There were all sorts of animals on display along with information about the indigenous peoples and how they used to live. Fortunately, I had my camera on me and I was able to take some pictures, which I posted here. These are just a couple that I took during the day that met today’s theme:
On a second visit with my two younger daughters (you can see those pictures here), I took the following pictures of some pretty red leaves:
Lastly, I took these pictures in my backyard. Again, it amazes me the treasures I find when I’m not really looking:
The collage is just a collection of pictures that met the challenge. The little boy in the corner is my nephew, doesn’t he have such attitude? I took that picture of him over the summer when the kids and I were traveling from Pennsylvania to Missouri.
