Photo Blogging Challenge (April 2017): Color

April 30, 2017

Hello and goodbye April!

And hello color!

OK, I’ve realized something — the color in my area really developed over this month. It was kind of fun to watch it go from blah to colorful in the span of the month.

Well, it also doesn’t hurt with the amount of rain we got this month, but still…

I did a bunch of different things for this theme, which I had some fun with. Some of the shots I wanted didn’t come out so well, so I went with some secondary shots that I liked.

This is a good start to the push of warm weather and more fun ahead.

All that being said, it’s time to see what this month has brought us. Here is my five for the month:

 

1. Egg hunt

For the second straight year, I put together an Easter egg hunt for Cameron. He was on top of it this year!

 

2. Building

I picked up some toys for Cameron he could have when not at his house. Here’s some from a “tool set.”

 

3. Baseball

America’s Pastime is a colorful sport … and the season is fully underway!

 

4. Finger paint!

I was happy to get Cameron to somewhat pose for me with this!

 

5. Buster!

The mascot for the Lakewood Blueclaws!

 

There are my five and I look forward to seeing what others had this month!

If you took part in this month’s challenge, make sure to link up below. And for those of you who participated, make sure you try and get to other people’s blogs and comment (here, too!). Let’s continue to grow this challenge and have a strong community. Come back and check out the others who link later on, too!

Also, don’t forget to get back here Monday, May 1 for the May theme!

NOTE: I set up a Facebook group for those who participate in the challenge and are interested. I’ll post any announcements there and hopefully it can be a place where things are discussed and some interaction etc. You can access it here.

    I’m sure the egg hunt was a lot of fun!

      I hope that to be the fact! They both do have a lot of color! And the egg hunt was fun. Glad we had good weather!

    Colorful post all around. At three years old, Twix was old enough to really get into the egg hunt this year with her sister and cousins. My favorite is Cameron and the paint. You’re a brave man to take on a boy with finger paint!

      That is awesome about the egg hunt. Cameron loved the one I set up last year, but this year he was really into it and didn’t need much help at all. As for the finger paint… I was across the table from him. I was safe! 🙂

    I love baseball! I couldn’t be happier that the season is underway. Going to games is so much fun.
    I hope you didn’t step on any of those tool set pieces. They look like they would be Lego-level hurtful on the feet.

      I love baseball as well and love going to as many games as I can get to. And no, I didn’t step on any of those. I can’t imagine they would hurt a bit!

Harper is counting down to Santa Paws! You know, Harper is counting down to Santa Paws! 

You know, of course, Santa Paws travels with Santa Clause, making sure to find treats and toys for all the good little doggies! (We know they are all deserving, right?) So, Harper put out some milk for the big guy, carrots for Rudolph and the reindeer, and special cookies for Santa Paws! She is ready!

I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I have her. It’s been a year and four months and she makes me smile and laugh more each day. It’s amazing how much a dog changes your look on life, and how much joy they can bring.

I had Harper so not a lot I could do, but I managed to get the cart off the chair. (See second photo) This was in a local park.

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
