Everyday Images #26

Welcome to another installment of my challenge and reminder to myself to take photos somewhat regularly. I'm not a photographer, but I enjoy taking everyday photos of things I find interesting or want to remember later, and I find that I notice interesting things when I'm intentionally watching for them. Having some prompts that are open to interpretation has helped me pay a little more attention to what's around me. Every two weeks I have a few words and phrases that I'm focusing on, and I try to find opportunities to take pictures of these things each week. These were the prompts I assigned myself for the past couple weeks:

season (quarterly) - we haven't had a snow that has 'stuck' but this scene from our New Year's Day walk at Blendon Woods has a chilly wintery look to it.

happy - describes the snowman's face and mine when I opened this birthday gift!

at home (monthly) - getting ready for New Year's Eve

And a few bonus photos:

After opening Christmas gifts, we have a 'snowball' fight with the wadded-up wrapping paper - it's a family tradition!

Aubrey enjoyed her gifts almost as much as we enjoyed watching her with them. She got this little sofa from Uncle Cer and had the cute little couch potato pose down!

Christmas afternoon walk while the turkey was frying:

Rainbow and clouds spotted on the drive home on Boxing Day:

Another birthday gift that made me very happy - a painting by Meaghan:

New Year's Eve at our place was also when we opened the rest of the Christmas presents with the Ohio family. Veronica got this cool Super Mario LEGO set and started putting pieces together.

We toasted the New Year with my homemade hot buttered rum.

Had a visit from a woodpecker while we were getting our New Year's Day brunch ready . . . 

and spotted some more birds on our late afternoon visit to Blendon Woods.

Also shared the path with at least seven deer and managed to get photos of a couple of them.

A very pleasant winter walk for New Year's Day.

I am sharing my photos every other Tuesday, along with my prompts for the next two weeks. You can use all or some of the prompts for your own photo posts, or none of the prompts and just link up a post featuring your photos. Simple rules: Your posts must be family-friendly; the photos must be your own; and the post must be mostly photos. If you do share I'd appreciate a mention and link to A Fresh Cup of Coffee on your post.

Everyday Images continues in 2024, every other Tuesday. And on the alternate Tuesdays, beginning on January 9th, I'm hosting the Twenty-Six Lists link-up. I'd love to have you join me for that too!

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Everyday Images #25 was a wrap-up of my quarterly and monthly shots through the year, plus a few favorites - the link-up is still open if you'd like to add your own 2023 wrap-up photo post to it.
