Photo Blogging Challenge: February 2020’s theme is …

February 1, 2020

Well hello, leap year!

You know what that means … an extra day in February!

PBC logo

That means we are off and running in 2020 with our second month and you get that 29th day to get those photos done. We won’t be posting on the 29th of February for four more years.

Hopefully we last that long!

Anyway, drop a message letting us know you are taking part and maybe convince a blogging friend to join us as well! It’s the time to start snapping photos and getting things done!

Depending where you are, I hope you are staying warm and having a good year so far!

Before we get to this month’s theme, let’s do our monthly “group” challenges:

Challenge 1: Tell others about this photo blogging challenge and get some friends to come join us.  Let’s see if we can get people interested in the challenge again.

Challenge 2: Make friends with your camera and see what you can come up with. Have fun!

Challenge 3 is at the end of this post (the theme!).

Before this, here’s some housekeeping items. For those who might be new to the challenge, here’s how it works.

  • See the theme (first day of the month);
  • Take photos throughout the month (don’t use old ones!);
  • Select five photos and create a blog post;
  • Come back here and link up on the final day of the month;
  • Use the official hashtag — #Photoblogchal — on social media posts;
  • Hopefully go visit and comment on other blogs.

That’s it. There’s no rules on equipment or anything else. Blog posts can be short and to the point, or in-depth. Interpret the themes as you see fit.

The one big rule?

Have fun!

This month’s theme? Money. This is a pretty broad stroke, so hopefully you can have fun with it and find some great images!! Please make sure your blog post publishes Saturday, February 29. Then come back here and link up.

If you think you are going to take part in this, drop a comment below so we can see who all might be trying to tackle this challenge!

There is also a Facebook group for those who are interested.

If you would like to visit the history of the challenge, which started in 2013, please go to the Photo Blogging Challenge page for more!

Photo Blogging Challenge (January 2020): New

January 31, 2020

So, remember when it was 2019?

Not any more!

And just like that, we are at the end of January 2020. What in the hell is all I can say. But the month started with me being sick and ends with me pushing myself with walking and everything else, so I can’t complain!

What’s even cooler is that we are in 2020. It’s a cool year and hopefully it will be awesome — for you personally, professionally, and blogging! I think we should all come together and see if we can’t actually grow the challenge this year. I’d love to see many more taking part by the end of the year than what we start with!

When this challenge first started in 2013, we had a bunch of people. Unfortunately, many of them no longer blog. That being said, there are still plenty of bloggers out there and this challenge is so open that people can do it however they want! Interpret the theme in whatever way they see fit, and also use any type of camera. This month, I used my new iPhone 11 for all of my images. The camera is awesome!

So let’s see where 2020 can go. If we can all find a way to get a few new people participating, think about what kind of challenge this can be every month!

So let’s get to the challenge! Five photos for new!

Here are my five!

1. New focus

Over the years, I’ve tried many planners. I always fail. But I wanted to do something different. I didn’t exactly need a planner fully, more of something where I can journal more. I want to keep track of a lot of different things and I’ve been working on this bullet journal. I start it officially in February, so here’s hoping it works out for me!

2. New game

So many of you may know I am into board games, especially ones I can play solo. This is a newer one I got and while I was sick, I learned and played the game a few times. Lots of fun!

3. New snow

It seems we’ve been in a cycle this winter. Snow comes, then it disappears. And then more snow comes. Here’s some new snow one afternoon.

4. New medicine

This seems to have been a good addition to me and is really helping. It’s made me feel good moving forward with the diabetes battle.

5. New … drink

This Irish cream was a Christmas gift from my brother. The new Hydro Flash “drink cup” was one I picked up. This Irish cream is outstanding and I dare say better than Bailey’s!

And there are my five for the 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! NOTE: We have 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.

Make sure, too, to come back tomorrow to see February’s theme!

Photo Blogging Challenge: January 2020’s theme is …

January 4, 2020

What the … 2020?

Is this possible that we have reached 2020? A new decade. A new year. New all sorts of things. What’s even better is we’re in something that happens only once in a decade.. matching those numbers with 2020! Goodness knows I wasn’t around last time it happened in 1919.

PBC logo

So what do we make of this newfound year and decade? Honestly, for now, it’s just a new year. But even cooler with it, we we are in a leap year. So an extra day for this one. There are so many crazy things when it comes to the newness of a year … especially with technology. But images.. they keep coming and staying. So, we continue on with the Photo Blogging Challenge!

So here’s to another great year of the Photo Blogging Challenge. Maybe to more participants. To some fun ideas. And, of course, to some great images! If you have some ideas for some themes for 2020, let me know. I have a bunch in mind already, but you never know if I might decide to grab some others and go with them!

Best wishes to all for 2020!

Before we get to this month’s theme, let’s do our monthly “group” challenges:

Challenge 1: Tell others about this photo blogging challenge and get some friends to come join us.  Let’s see if we can get people interested in the challenge again.

Photo Blogging Challenge (December 2019): Jingle all the Way

December 31, 2019

And just like that … 2019 will be no more.

This year has really moved. We’ve had some great photos and challenges and thanks to you all for keeping it going. Here’s to it making it through another year coming up!

Each year we’ve done this challenge, December is basically the same — with a different name. This year is no different!

I truly love the holiday season. Christmas is a major time for fun and other things in my world. I also usually take some time off from work to try and recharge and relax a little. This year was no different as I had the chance to go to the shore and just kind of chill. I always like seeing the lights and hearing the sounds of the season. It’s the best time of year. We even had a white Christmas, which is awesome.

So let’s get to the challenge! Five photos for Jingle all the Way!

Here are my five!

1. Holiday eats

Who loves all the goodies around the holidays? In our family, homemade caramels goes back generations. This year, I did some of these … as eventually somebody will have to take it over!

Bonus image!

2. Jingle bells?

Cameron’s birthday is in December. And his party… featured him hiding in a ball pit.

3. Christmas truck

One of the towns near us does a competition with lights … this guy always tends to win. Pretty impressive stuff. Loved this though.

4. Open it up!

Had to have one of these photos, right?

5. And finally …

I’ve wanted to go to the shore this time of year for a while and I had the chance to this year. This was one of the spots in the main town. So nice!

And there are my five for the 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! 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.

Photo Blogging Challenge: December 2019’s theme is …

December 5, 2019

And so we’ve reached December.

As I get older, I wonder if the years sometimes go on speed-dial. You blink and the summer is here. Then Christmas. Then the spring. Then the fall. All in different years. Alas, we do what we do, right?

PBC logo

So, off we go with another month in this little challenge. And if you have been with us for any amount of time, you probably have a good idea of this month’s overall theme. While the “theme” itself will be a change of a name, it’s all involving this time of year.

It’s the time of the year to hopefully spread some cheer, be happy and get into the holiday spirit! I know I’ve gotten into the holiday spirit myself, and am looking forward to the month ahead.

Here’s wishing everybody an amazing holiday season. I wish you and yours the best!

Before we get to this month’s theme, let’s do our monthly “group” challenges:

Challenge 1: Tell others about this photo blogging challenge and get some friends to come join us.  Let’s see if we can get people interested in the challenge again.

Challenge 2: Make friends with your camera and see what you can come up with. Have fun!

Challenge 3 is at the end of this post (the theme!).

Before this, here’s some housekeeping items. For those who might be new to the challenge, here’s how it works.

  • See the theme (first day of the month);
  • Take photos throughout the month (don’t use old ones!);
  • Select five photos and create a blog post;
  • Come back here and link up on the final day of the month;
  • Use the official hashtag — #Photoblogchal — on social media posts;
  • Hopefully go visit and comment on other blogs.

That’s it. There’s no rules on equipment or anything else. Blog posts can be short and to the point, or in-depth. Interpret the themes as you see fit.

Have fun!

This month’s theme? Jingle All the Way? This is a pretty broad stroke, so hopefully you can have fun with it and find some great images!! Please make sure your blog post publishes Tuesday, December 31. Then come back here and link up.
