We went away for a couple days, and I’m trying to take a little break from everything. But I’m proud of myself for still sticking with the 30 Day Photo Challenge. I’ve not been known in the past to be great at completing any photo challenges I’ve joined, but I’m determined to be a [...]

Yesterday (Day 17), I chose my dog as my [...]

So I’m over half-way through the Photo A Day challenge from DP Blogs — one photo every day for the month of March — and I have to say, I’m really into it this year. I have entered many photography challenges over the past year, none of which I have finished. But I’m sticking to [...]
