Photo Blogging Challenge (July 2026): Make your month about things you love

Who or what do you love?

Though this seems like a theme for February, it’s also always good to think about things like this.

I’m sure most of you will know what many of my photos might include.

But this theme is so perfect for many things. And in this day and age, sometimes we really need to be grounded and think about things like this. Our identity should be about things like this, not necessarily about things that just get things into an uproar. Having your own identity and loving what you do is so much more powerful.

People, animals, physical things, nature etc., all are things one can love and truly help as a human being.

So, what things do you love?

I hope you had a wonderful month no matter where in the world you are.

The theme for me this month was basically Harper, but more in that the things I love usually will involve her.

If you participated this month, share your link down below. Here’s my five for the month!

1. Geocaching

Harper is a blast (usually) to geocache with. Though she might try and get into things when we are finding the actual cache, it’s still a whole heap of fun.

2. Adventures

Harper and I go on a lot of adventures. A lot of fun adventures. But some of the best ones are a 15-minute play in the river so she can swim, fetch and live her best life.

3. Ready to go!

Harper loves dock diving. We’ve only been once this year and missed a couple of competitions I’d like to try and get her in. Alas, when we go it’s always a blast. Her she is getting ready to go as my mother prepares to throw her toy.

4. Baseball

I love going to baseball games, especially the minor leagues, And despite saying (before I had Harper) that if I had a dog I don’t know if I’d bring to a baseball game. Fast forward… most games I go to now are Bark in the Park games! Many also have “dog parades” before the game on the field. Harper, of course, thinks she can go where she wants and tries to go into dugouts. These two gave her some loving.. and a baseball!

5. Photography

Though my camera roll is full of Harper photos, she’s also made me start to really love photography again. So much so that I invested in a new camera for me — a lighter one that I’m more apt to carry with me. I’ve been doing a lot more with photography in that regard, which has been a blast.

BONUS

One of my dock diving photos of Harper. Using my brother’s 300mm 2.8 lens, which was insanely fun for this.

There’s my five for the month! Let’s see what you 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! NOTE: We have a Facebook group for those who participate in the challenge and are interested. I’ll post any announcements there and hopefully ithere.

** CHALLENGE CHANGE **

From this point forward, I am going to do the next theme at the bottom of each linkup. Also, the posting date will now be the first of each month, thus giving you the entire month to take the photos etc.

That means it’s a one-stop shop! Hopefully this helps out with everybody.

So, below is the linkup for February. Make sure you drop your link there.

OK, so it’s time to keep on moving! And our theme for the May? Make your month about thinking outside that box. Remember to come back on (hopefully) September 1 to link up and check out the theme for that month! I’ve set a calendar reminder for me, so let’s see if that works!
