Messing with the blogging world since 2005

Photo Blogging Challenge (May 2018): Outdoor activities

June 2, 2018

The weather seems to finally being helpful to be outdoors.

At least some of the time.

And, of course, that probably depends on where in the world you are.

In the Northeast — at least near me — it’s been harder at times to get outside. Rain and gloomy weather. But we’ve had some.

So, it was time to get outdoors.

For this month, I basically went with my phone. I need to start using my main camera more, but at times it’s not easy to want to drag it around!

There’s a lot of ways to handle this theme, so how did you do it? Mine are below!

So let’s get on with this! Here are my five and I look forward to other posts!

1. Hiding

When outside activities are mentioned, geocaching is one of them. This month I hid a few caches for a challenge (this is one spot), and I also found a bunch as I had the chance to attend GeoWoodstock, which became the first giga event in North America.

 

2. Creative finds

Who says all micro finds have to be crappy? This is one we found during the GwoWoodstock trip. Very nicely done!

 

3. Traditional find

It’s still nice to find the more “traditional” finds while out caching. In a tree, in some woods etc.

 

4. Baseball

When the warmer weather comes, I watch as much baseball as I can. It’s a great way to spend a day/night.

Perfect day for #baseball!

 

5. Yum

Not a great shot — but wanted to capture the moment as Cameron was fully focused on this ice cream!

 

 

There are my five. I look forward to seeing what everybody else came up with!

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 in the next day or so for the June 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.

    Geocaching, Baselball and Cameron – looks like you had a great month!

    I don’t mind “Micros”, especially if they’re as nice as the one you found. Not a fan of Nanos though. Too tough for me to find, and don’t get me started on actually getting the “Logbook” out and fitting it back in…

    I haven’t done any geocaching in years! I may have to do it again.. I loved it so much. The micro looks so cute – I used to hate those but THAT one is awesome! My favorite photo is the baseball cap, which is surprising because I am not a sports person. But the shot is just so wonderful!

    I know absolutely nothing about geocaching….but think it’s fascinating! Love the shot of Cameron enjoying his frozen treat. The composition of the shot with the baseball cap and field is fantastic.

    I have not cached in so long it’s sad. I need to get back out after it cools off.

    Good for you for continuing to geocache on at least semi-regular basis. We haven’t done much this year, but have finally come up with an idea for the new virtual cache “hide” we were awarded last summer. Should be able to get it submitted for review by the end of June and then we’ll see what cachers think! Are there any new virtuals in your area?

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.

This one is recent from the courthouse square in Delhi. We had some pretty good fall colors this year.

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.
