A Week of the Blues

….thanks to Becky B for hosting the month long challenge, July Blues

I’ve been off and on to the cottage this month and it makes it difficult to post daily because I have no electricity or internet access. So I’ve saved up a batch of blue photos to share with you. The challenge is now over but Becky has compiled a gallery of blue photos that she’s worked hard to put together. Go check it out.

Lens-Artists Challenge – #53 – Your Choice

….thanks to Amy from The World is a Book for hosting the Lens-Artist Challenge

Congratulations to all the lens-artists who are celebrating their first birthday with this challenge. Amy has chosen connection as her theme.

My special connection takes place on the beach at Christian Island where the forces of nature never cease to amaze me. Every year the shoreline changes as the waves erode the plants when the water levels are high and when the levels are low we are blessed with a massive beach. This year the levels are high and the invading plants and trees have been washed away.IMG-2906

Kammie’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge – July 4, 2019

….thanks to Kammie for hosting the Odd Ball Challenge

You can find all kinds of odd things in the sand and sometimes your 3 1/2 year old granddaughter asks you to take some odd ball photos of her snack and of her unusual attire upon her head.

Friendly Friday Photo Challenge – Ebb and Flow

thanks to Amanda for hosting this week’s Friendly Friday Photo Challenge

Ebb and flow is all about water for me. This year the water levels seem to be up everywhere. Earlier in the week I drove north to visit my daughter and her family at Sparrow Lake. Not sure how much the water has risen here but there are signs that it is higher.P1070750
