So lets show off some of your own photos that highlight the various aspects of Earth.  ENJOY!!

For those who like to plan ahead, you can keep this in mind when you have your camera in hand.    I thought the next few weeks we would concentrate on colors.  So here are the next four topics.

  1. Black and white photos
  2. Red and White
  3. Rainbow Colors (must have at least 4 strong colors)
  4. Color of Your Choice:  Pick one color and have it be your favorite.

How It Works?

  1. Most weeks I will come up with a topic and along with a tip on how to take a better photo.  Feel free to write me with things you want to learn about.
  2. Go through you photo archives and see what photos you have that fits the current week’s challenge, or better yet grab you camera and take a new photo!
  3. ENJOY and have FUN.

Create a Cee’s Fun Photo Challenge post

  1. Then add a link to your blog in my comment box.
  2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos and post, title your blog post “Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge” tag.

FrizzText’s A-Z Archive Letter Y Challenge

It’s time for FrizzText’s A-Z Archive challenge and the challenge is the letter Y.  One of my favorite places along the Oregon Coast is Newport where the Yaquina Head Lighthouse and State Park is located as well as the Yaquina Bary Bridge.  So I would like to show you one of my favorite places.

It is hard to pick a favorite, but I will have to go with the light house.  I have walked the 93 feet to the top.  This is Oregon’s tallest lighthouse.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Hope

When I told Chris that Hope was the weekly photo challenge, she instantly said I had to put in more photos from when I was in the hospital.   I agreed.  Yesterday I talked about water and how healing it is for me.  Another symbol, again related to water, of hope and strength is lighthouses.
