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:

gold - I'm stretching a bit here, but the leaves on this tree definitely had a gold tint.
dessert - butter tarts! My favorite!
leaf - I got a couple photos of trees but realized I didn't get any that were a close-up of a leaf, so here's the Canadian maple leaf on my Tim Horton's coffee.
travel - the border between Canada and the USA is marked by a lamp post on the bridge at Niagara Falls
A few more bonus photos:
These guys were very friendly and were good salesmen, but we were in line for the bridge to the US side, so we didn't take them up on their pitch. But also, I don't know what an "entarenge" is and we had a good laugh at that.
One of our visits with good friends that go way back.
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!

Still working on my photo post for October. Really don't have many photos. I need to get busy, huh?
ReplyDeleteWe have a flag pole, I think, on one of the bridges that crosses the El Paso-Ciudad Juarez border. Used to be, pregnant girls would just get to the flagpole and step over into the U.S. and EMS would take them to the hospital to have their (now) U.S. citizen baby.
Still in the 90s here so no gold leaves. Love the capture of the hockey sticks. So many pretty colors.
we've all heard stories about the "anchor babies" and I happen to think that policy should be changed. Too easy to take advantage of.
DeleteUsed to be that hockey sticks were all woodgrain so seeing so many different colors in the selection is a change from the old days!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
