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:

at home (monthly)
selfie (quarterly) - I promise I wasn't grouchy when I took this selfie, just kind of in a hurry to get it done!
warning
sunrise and/or sunset - I had to revisit this prompt when I had a better chance of seeing the rising and setting sun. I'm missing the sunrise these days because it rises before I leave the house and I don't have an eastern view from home. I had a few sunset photos to pick from though.

I'm also participating in the Summer Photography Scavenger Hunt hosted by This West London Life, so some of these photos may reappear on my posts with scavenger hunt finds.
A few more bonus photos:
We were greatly saddened to hear that Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew were struck by a driver and killed, and the day before their sister's wedding too. Tragic. RIP Johnny Hockey.
We went to the ZucchiniFest in Obetz one weekend.
This feather momentarily fooled me into thinking it was little moth or bug, so I figured why not take a photo?
Columbus Clippers game:
We went to the Greek Festival and I took a few photos while touring the beautiful Greek Orthodox cathedral.
Picking out a planter or two for the season:
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, I'm hosting the Twenty-Six Lists link-up. I'd love to have you join me for that too!

Zucchinifest was a surprisingly big deal! LOL We went mostly for the free music - on 90s hip-hop artist night, and that was a lot of fun! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteBeautiful photos! Zuchinifest sounds like a lot of fun and that church is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe Greek festival was great, food was amazing, and the cathedral was breathtaking. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteI need to get with it. Haven't checked in for the new prompts until today. Will get busy this coming week catching up on my picture taking. Your sunset capture at the ball park is so pretty. I like the sun hitting the stadium seats. Great shot. Glad to see multiple shots for the prompt 'home' as I have broken my foot and I am spending a WHOLE lot of time at HOME. Will try to get creative with my pictures for that prompt. The cathedral is lovely. A work of art.
ReplyDeleteWe are baseball fans so hadn't heard about the poor hockey player and his brother. Looked it up and learned they were killed by a drunk driver. I am so sorry. So unfair. May God hold their family close.
I hope your broken foot is healing up quickly, but you're right in that it will give you an opportunity to be creative with what you can do at home! Hopefully it's a chance to rest and relax a little as well. Thanks for stopping by and commenting, and I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful photos!
