The WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is “Forward”. I’ve chosen four photos that represent the typical use of the word…”a forward motion”, and three that show people being “bold”!
This is from a trip I took in 2009 to Peru. Specifically on Taquile Island in Lake Titicaca. Continue reading
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Red, White or Red & White. This photo was taken at Sanibel Island, Florida right before Christmas…hence the Poinsettias.
Sue’s Photo Challenge this week at her blog…A Word in your Ear is “Industrial”. At first I wasn’t sure I had any photos that would portray this word…but…I did! I think that’s what’s so addictive about these photo challenges…searching through your photos and the sense of accomplishment when you find what you feel are the “perfect ones”!
My husband and I were hiking at Stonelick Lake in Ohio this past summer and there was a tractor show and some other activities. This blacksmith was demonstrating his trade. Continue reading
A few days ago, my husband and I headed over to the Longbranch Farms located a few minutes away from our home and took a hike! The sky was gorgeous and it was warm..50 degrees…compared to recently.
I’m excited to participate in the Adventure and Travel Magazine Let’s Be Wild Weekly Photo Challenge for Bloggers. This week’s challenge is Wanderlust! I have had a bad case of Wanderlust at times and looking at past adventures tends to kindle that flame even more.
Where’s My Backpack’s Travel Theme this week is Mountains. I love Mountains! I love to hike on them, look at them, and photograph them! I posted so many photos of Mountains recently with my “Hiking” series…I had to search through my thousands of photos for some I haven’t posted–or at least not recently.
Hopefully, you read Park I of my Enchanted Forest at the Krohn Conservatory yesterday. If not, you can read it here. I like being a Tourist in my own City!
The Waterfall at the Krohn Conservatory is lovely! I fooled around with the Aperture and was able to get that silky effect. It’s on my “to-do list” to learn more about my camera!
I love to kiss and that’s the Photo Challenge for WordPress this week!
This Egyptian camel owner likes to kiss his camel!
The Enchanted Forest is one of the many amazing events and displays that the Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati, Ohio hosts. Yesterday, my friend Gina and I were definitely enchanted with their forest! As a Tourist in my City…it’s fun to find inexpensive ($3.00), yet really cool things to do!

Images from Yesterday
I’ll start with the end of the day. As I was preparing dinner, I realized the sun was setting and I wanted to capture a photo without a lot of trees hiding it. My husband probably thought I was crazy (actually he already does) because I stopped everything and said, “I’ll be right back…I’m going to take a few photos of the sunset down the street.” I hopped in my car, drove a few minutes away, stopped the car on the road with my flashers on, got out and crossed the road to take a few. Whew! Here’s one…
Traders World in Monroe, Ohio is a Flea Market extravaganza! With over 1,200 vendor spaces and occupying 11 acres, there’s something for everyone! I like to go to take photos and people watch.
I’ve been looking forward to Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week because the theme is Black and White! I’ve been having lots of fun switching my photographs from color to black and white! I’m getting a better feel for which ones will look better or at least just as good black and white.

“Me, Myself and I”
This is my first time participating in the online adventure travel and photography magazine Let’s Be Wild Weekly Photo Challenge and this week the challenge is “Green”! If you’d like to vote for me…go here. Thanks very much!!
This is a “Hickory Horned Devil” that eventually morphs into a “Royal Walnut Moth” or “Regal Moth”. It looks like it has sunglasses on! It was about 4 inches long by 1 inch wide. It was laying on a hiking trail at Hocking Hills State Park, Ohio.
I was delighted that this week’s A Word a Week Challenge was Garden! We all need some color to brighten up our Winter! My first photo was taken in 2011 of a fabulous lavender field in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State…
