The Daily Post Photo Challenge: Awakening

This week, show us an image of an awakening. These photos are of our grandson taken in 2016. He loved playing with Lego, he still does 🙂 We enjoyed watching the awakening of interest and creativity, the satisfaction of making something. And of course he used to cry when he was not able to do…

The Daily Post Photo Challenge: Smile

This week, show us a smile (yours or someone else’s), make us smile, or both. Share a photo of something that has brought a moment of joy into your life recently, or focus on the outcome of that joy. I was in Germany with my daughter from November 8th to January 18th. She was expecting…

The Daily Post Photo challenge: Story

For this week’s challenge, do some visual storytelling with your photography. As always, I’m excited to see what you all share.Photos are remarkably multi-purpose.

The Daily Post Photo Challenge: Out of this world

It is really difficult to choose a favourite photo from the hundreds of photos taken this year. But two photos came to mind as soon as I read what we had to share. I am in my daughter’s home in Germany. And I have been experiencing snowfall for the first time. Some days ago, early…

The Daily Post Photo Challenge : Transformation

Changes keep happening, in living beings or in non-living things. Some changes are not so noticeable but many a time the transformation is unbelievable. Caterpillars become butterflies, buds become flowers, the young become old, the raw become ripe. They are the same but so very different. In our place we get very small chillies which…

The Daily Post : Temporary

The Daily Post Photo Challenge : Layered

This week, share with us a layered image of your own. The topic is wide open, as long as you focus on the interplay of depth, density, and texture (or just choose one of these elements if you’d like). Strata of clouds, a shirt collar peeking through a sweater, a cross-section of an onion: you…

The Daily Post Photo Challenge : Ooh Shiny

Like a dog that sees a squirrel and jerks the leash out of its owner’s hand to chase it, I just can’t help but get excited, and 100% sidetracked, by monarchs, swallowtails, frittilaries, hairstreaks.
