Photo Blogging Challenge (May 2019): Your month, your choice

May 31, 2019

What a month, eh?

Here we go with a new month and a theme that should, for the most part, be a pretty easy one. I feel like when people have the chance to do their own thing with a theme… it can really shine.

With me, I went with some family items.

In the next few weeks, I’ll also be having a new look, which will hopefully push me to blog more. Also, that means some new looks to the photo blogging challenge and logos and such as we move forward.

But more on that later — for now, let’s get to this month’s photos.

1. Getting the sign

Tee-ball is underway. Cam has a sharp glove and is well on his way to giving me my retirement time — following him while he plays pro ball! (A guy can dream!)

2. Speaker

My niece graduated with her undergraduate degree this month. I went to her major’s pre-graduation ceremony, where she was a featured speaker. She did awesome!

 

3. Watching happiness If we could only bottle this kind of happiness.

 

4. Letting loose After the pre-graduation ceremony, my niece and her boyfriend had a little fun with some of the photo props.

 

5. Baseball Cam sure does love baseball!

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: May 2019’s theme is …

May 9, 2019

There are times when you realize … it wasn’t good for vacation time. With work and everything else …

Yikes!

That means here was also hit and I guarantee — eventually — I’ll right the ship and hit the deadlines better! Maybe now that the weather seems to want to turn?

So let’s not waste a lot of time as this is already late. This month’s theme is an easy one, especially with the way things went for April.

But first, here are a few other challenges to keep in mind:

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.

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? Your month, your choice! This will be very open to interpretation, so it will be interesting to see what everybody comes up with. Please make sure your blog post publishes Friday, May 31. 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.

Photo Blogging Challenge (April 2019): Color makes the world go round

May 6, 2019

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.

Color is in the world all around us.

Sometimes, it’s more vibrant than others. I’m not sure how it’s been around you — but in my area, the spring has not brought as much vibrancy as in the past.

Maybe when the summer gets here? We can hope.

I hope you all had much more color out there! Here’s mine for the month.

1. Easter eggs

Another year of a great Easter egg hunt by Cameron! I hid them a little harder this year and he was all over it!

2. Geocaches

I’ve been placing a bunch of geocaches lately… sometimes they can be a bit colorful!

 

3. Food

Not only can food be delicious, it can be colorful as well!

4. Hockey masks

From a display at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto — goalie masks are often colorful and fancy!

5. Scorebook

Baseball season is here and when I am at a game, I keep a scorebook. And my scoresheets can often get colorful.

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!

Photo Blogging Challenge: April 2019’s theme is …

April 6, 2019

This, folks, is why you check the blog to make sure something publishes and isn’t accidentally in your drafts ..

So, April’s theme is a wee bit late, but.. it’s my hope that the theme is easy enough that it doesn’t matter all that much!

I’ll be making my rounds for March, but from what I have seen so far… great job!

And now, we move on.

But first, here are a few other challenges to keep in mind:

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!).

This month’s theme? Color makes the world go round! This will be very open to interpretation, so it will be interesting to see what everybody comes up with. Please make sure your blog post publishes Tuesday, April 30. Then come back here and link up. NOTE: I will be traveling at the end of the month, so I am attempting to get everything done early and scheduled so that I don’t kill off this deadline!

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!

Photo Blogging Challenge (March 2019): Six

April 1, 2019

Six years.

What a crazy ride it’s been. Hopefully we can keep it going, even as lax as I’ve been to a point. But six!

I look forward to checking out other posts to see. A few people from the first year are still with us. Maybe in time it will grow again, but for now — the group we have has been great.

Six can be interpreted a bunch of ways, so for now … here’s mine!

1. 5K + 1 I took part in my first official 5K in late March. This was the finisher’s medal. So, the No. 1 sign and a 5K equals six, so … 

  2. More simple math Three twos equal six!

3. Let’s sit Six spots to sit on our town square!

4. Six nibs I’ve gotten into fountain pens… here’s six of ’em.

5. Six testers I had to work at a junior iron chef competition … this was one of the setups. One dish to show off.. and six samples for the judges!

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.

North of the border this weekend to get away and hit a few caching events and geocache. Dinner tonight was at @harpersburgers, especially with outdoor seating and dog friendly! @harper_dublin got to enjoy a little of my #burger, of course. And, yes, I got poutine, duh! Great service and great food! Went back later for a spiked shake. This one was a Malibu Colada (malibu rum, dark rum, vanilla ice cream, and pineapple juice) … yum! 

Good times! Looking forward to another event and caches on Saturday before heading home!

It’s especially nice in the morning when college isn’t in session as it’s quiet and @harper_dublin can sniff and explore her surroundings (if in session, she will want to stop and meet every student etc.). I know a lot of people local walk the campus, and it’s really nice that we have something like this in our community to be able to do so.

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.
