Photo Blogging Challenge: October 2018’s theme is …

Annnnnd here we go!

Do you all realize we only have three months left in 2018?

WTF?

Where did the time go? But … we still march on with the Photo Blogging Challenge!

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 come 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? Oh the places you’ve been! 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, October 30 (I know some people do Halloween posts, so I will have this go the day before). 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.

History of the challenge (past month’s themes – links to see everybody else’s posts are at the end of the linked post):

Photo Blogging Challenge (September 2018): Colorful

OK, it’s time.

I put up a regular blog post the other day and it was the first one I had done in many months. This blog has somewhat turned into the Photo Blogging Challenge, and even that I can’t seem to always  get right.

But writing that post felt good. I have some others in mind (just need some photos to go with them) and I really want to get back into it. It’s a good way to keep things flowing in my head.

That means I also have to start being on time with this monthly challenge! And this time, it is.

Here’s hoping the regular blogging continues and that I can keep things moving with this (and other challenges) that the ball has been dropped.

But first, let’s get September underway.

So let me get this up and rolling. Here are my five for the month!

1. Old building

While out on a geocaching trip, we came across this. Very cool old building. I love how the colors almost clash with one another.

 

2. All colored up

My final minor league baseball game of the year. I added some color to my scorekeeping this season and I really like the look and feel of my scorebook after I’ve done this.

 

3. Nature

Nature tends to bring so much color out …

 

4. For you!

I am sure we all have certain things we really love about our jobs. One of mine is when you go into the elementary schools for photos and the kids just seem to want to talk about everything. I was in the one school for a special day grabbing photos and two of the UPK kids came up to me and said they made these for me. They will remain on my board at my desk… talk about brightening your day!

 

5. Nature 2

More from what nature can bring …

 

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 October 1 for the October 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.

Photo Blogging Challenge: September 2018’s theme is …

I’m starting to get an itch to blog again. It’s been a long time coming. So … maybe that will mean I can get back on track with this challenge and actually hit deadlines.

We can hope.

So I won’t keep you long. We’re deeper in the month than we should be … and it’s time for a theme!

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.

Photo Blogging Challenge (August 2018): Photographer’s Choice

Another month and … late.

Hello back to reality!

Are  you like me in that when you have a vacation, you need one when you get home? Holy … I need another just to sleep!

But that’s of no worry to others!

I took a trip to Iowa — yes, Iowa — for some baseball and geocaching and some fun. It was an enjoyable trip, but it was at the end of the month, so I didn’t have this post up. Therefore, the beauty is … I can use photos from the trip.

So let me get this up and rolling. Here are my five for the month!

1. Delhi!

In the early 1990s, a couple of us had started to make a trip to Delhi, Iowa. It’s the sister city to my hometown. It’s a small town and I had wanted to visit. Alas, car troubles made it so we had to turn around. Fast forward some 15 years later and look where I finally got to visit …

 

2. Ring ring …

Here is something you don’t see often …

 

3. Above the clouds

One of the best things about flying …

 

 

4. Movie prop

When in Iowa for a baseball trip… who isn’t going to Field of Dreams? And if you remember this part from the movie… the bleacher set is still there. Way too cool!

 

 

5. Quite the cache!

Yes, this was part of a gadget geocache! Very well done!

 

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 September 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.

Photo Blogging Challenge: August 2018’s theme is …

This has been one heck of a month or so.

So, the theme is below for August. It’s an easy one, in hopes the shorter time period won’t hamper creativity!

We can hope!

So, without taking up too much time … thanks for sticking with the challenge. I assure you it will get back on track. I have some things to post about soon and hope I can get back into the blogging process. So, let’s take some photos!
