This week I managed to get all the Scavenger Hunt Items, so I’m starting to roll that Sunday feature in with my usual weekly winners! Scavenger Hunt gives you five items. I doubled up on a few of them – and have another outside picture or two.
1. Stairs (SH)
Away from the world and its toils and its cares,
I’ve a snug little kingdom up four pair of stairs.

Well I attempted to do Scavenger Hunt Sunday too this week. However, I only got half of them done, so you get those and my other fav’s for the week :). I took a small nature walk (on the hottest day, in jeans. Ugh) to try to get a ‘sun’ shot and managed it…plus a few others.

Trying to get off my duff, and pick up my camera more, I started looking into some photo challenges. So, here is my first entry into Paper Heart Camera‘s “Show & Tell” Challenge.
This weeks prompt – WATER
SHOW:

TELL: Dropping some dye in water. My lighting was off making the glare on the glass, but I still love this pic (and will retry again at a later date)

I had a very busy week, with school starting and fighting off a cold. Then I started getting back into my other passion, the one bigger than photography – writing. It sort of consumed me and photos went by the wayside – so you get slim pickings this week. Hopefully soon I’ll learn how to find balance with all I want/need to do. Maybe. Someday.

After getting a picture of an incredible sunset I decided to make the sky my theme for the week. It was fun trying to get different aspects of the sky and I got some pictures that I just love..
