    Welcome back to another week of iSpy! I heard from some of you that some of these prompts seemed kind of difficult. If you participated did they end up being as hard as you thought? I found a couple of them to be a little challenging, but that’s what makes me think more about those. Honestly, when I look through my list of prompts, I don’t usually have something preconceived in my head for what I want to do. In fact, I try really not to think about what I would do as I’m making the list. Anyway, let’s get…

    Happy Easter weekend to everyone! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Thanks for joining along for the fun of photography! Here’s what I got this week… Sepia White – I used to collect clowns, but recently thought about it and realized they don’t bring me joy like they used to. I decided to pack them up all but a few. This clown that is mostly white. Its one of my favorites because she’s playing a flute (which I used to play) and her colors are subtle.

    puzzle(d) – My puzzled look… journal – this is a journal I’ve had on my wishlist for awhile. Rob got it for me for the new year. I haven’t started using it because I want it to be the ‘right’ thing. The pages are not lined, which is playing into my decision. abstract – I had planned to take an abstract photo, but I was at work for a bit and remembered these crazy looking, abstract chairs. Aren’t they unique? path – path between shelves at work your choice – This is a pic of Rob on our hike last…

I’ll be working on the post for the vacay this week. texture – I’m not a Phillies fan, but I am a fan of Matt Joyce!

    Happy Saturday everyone! Welcome back to another fun iSpy photo challenge! This week when thinking about the prompts were you thinking outside the box or did you go with what is easy? I know I often don’t have time to really get out and find the perfect most creative shot. I try to at least get out of my comfort zone for at least 1 prompt. weather – It’s been pretty beautiful here this week. I took this after a doctor’s appointment this week. Such a pretty view. key Tried to think a little differently about ‘key’ I sometimes leave…

    Messy My desk at home, which has gotten all too messy. It’s kind of starting to drive me crazy. Writing I decided to pull out an old journal that I have of my Grandmother’s. I may have to spend some time and reread it. Glass I had some different ideas for glass and ended up taking a picture of this glass candle jar. I thought it was pretty with the light of the candle. Alive This is Poison Ivy or Virginia Creeper (I think). Even though it’s red, it’s still alive…unfortunately. Its so invasive. Photographer’s Choice I had to pick…

    Hey yall! How was your week? I’m curious how many of you work on this through out the week or how many of you like me end up doing it last minutes? If life were back to normal and I was out and about more I think it would be easier to do it through out the week. However with COVID, I’m stuck at home and am not out much especially this week with my house full of COVID!

I have been wanting to get some really cool house plants and these are usually so expensive. This is a Monstera Deliciosa, I believe.

I enjoy burning one everyday while sitting in my home office. I don’t what…

    I’ve been wanting to do some type of link-up for 2021. I’ve also wanted to get more creative with my photography. I had this desire 6 years ago, but didn’t stick with it. This year I don’t want this to happen. I know having others join me in the challenge will motivate me to keep it going! So here’s how its going to work. I want to look for the marvelous in the mundane. I don’t think it matters how great your photography is or what camera you use, you always have room for improvement in one way or another.…

    Hope everyone caught some amazing photos this past week! Here are the 3 pictures I decided to share out of the many pictures I took. I was walking to my car the other day and looked up at this tree. Something about it was interesting. When I looked at the picture after uploading it to my computer, I couldn’t believe the color of the sky in the background. I chose this pic, because it was taken from the hip. “Shooting from the hip” means your taking a picture with your camera at hip level. This of course means you’re not…
