Messing with the blogging world since 2005

Photo Blogging Challenge (August 2014): Colorful

August 29, 2014

From people I have talked with, if this theme is any indication, we should have a pretty good turnout.

But before we worry about that.

Colorful is an interesting theme as it can be so many things. This month, my camera pooped out again (seriously), so I am mixing things a little bit here with my regular camera and iPhone.

I tried to give a variety of things… though there’s always a theme within a theme, it seems.

Anyway, I am truly looking forward to seeing what others came up with me and how they went with the theme. Until then, allow me to share my five for the month with the theme colorful.

And, as a reminder, we’re a fun little challenge community. So come back in a day or two and check everybody who linked up and drop a comment on each other’s posts… it makes it more fun. I’ll be making my rounds at the end of the weekend! Oh. and don’t forget to come back Sunday, Aug. 31 to see the theme for September!

1. Cameron

Like I wasn’t going to put one of these in here? I did a photo day with my nephew/Godson (and you can see more photos in a post I did about that by clicking here) all dressed up in Phillies garb. So I had to find one I hadn’t used… and here’s one of them.

One happy and colorful little guy!

One happy and colorful little guy!

2. Little League World Series

I went to the Little League World Series for the first time, earlier this month. It’s truly amazing how colorful it is, from the team uniforms, to the fans, to the fields and everything else. Here’s a view from where we watched one of the games.

 

Williamsport!

Williamsport!

3. Champions!

Our softball team won the league championship this year. It was a fun season and an interesting series, but we prevailed, which was awesome. A couple of days later, another team I played on (a few times) this year, won a league championship. Very cool stuff. Here’s the trophy and ball from the championship game from my main league.

4. Sunflower 

I always love photos like this… so bright!

In bloom!

In bloom!

5. Ski lift

I am editing this after posting to make this my fifth… as I had forgotten about it. But this was an old ski lift in the middle of a city… saw it while finding a geocache nearby, of course.

Stopped.

Stopped.

That’s my five for the month. And, now it’s your turn.

If you took part this month, make sure you link up below. And for those who participated, make sure you try and get to other people’s blogs and comment and visit so we can continue to grow this challenge. Don’t forget, too, to come back tomorrow, Friday, August 1, and see the theme for August! NOTE: I also 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’ve always said I’d like to grow them, if not just for the photo opportunities. Never seems to happen though!

    I almost included a sunflower photo, too. They do say great minds think alike!! (wink) So sorry to hear about your recurring camera problems. Hope this time around will be the end of your camera troubles.

    I really enjoyed your earlier post about your portrait session with your nephew. He’s so cute!

    Thanks for continuing to host the monthly challenge. Looking forward to the unveiling of the September theme.

      There are so many cool ways to photograph a sunflower, too. I think it’s one of the best flowers to shoot!

      I’m glad you’ve been a part of the challenge. I always enjoy your posts, too! 😀

    Those are all great shots… the first one is ESPECIALLY wonderful! I really like the ski lift… anything abandoned looking… what a find that was!

    Playing softball sounds like a blast. I hated all sports when I was young and forced in PE class. But as an adult I would LOVE to go back and do all that. They even have kickball leagues here!

      I’m a little biased, but I agree that the first one is the best of the batch!

      I agree on the abandoned. There’s some places not far from me I’d like to explore.

      I’ve played softball for a long time. I truly do enjoy the aspect of staying competitive and exercising. It’s well worth the time! 😀

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.

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.
