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.

ink - wish this was more exciting!
smooth - this was surprisingly difficult for me to find. I settled on this photo of my ice cream sundae at Tom's Ice Cream Bowl in Zanesville because the hot fudge does look very smooth and glossy. And it tasted scrumptious!
checked - how about checkers?
sunrise and/or sunset - even through the mackerel clouds, the sunrise was so pretty this particular morning. There have been some beautiful sunsets recently, but my favorite one was while I was driving and by the time I found a place to pull over, it was too late. Seems I'm always in the car during sunset time. On Saturday I just took the photo through the (dirty) windshield while hubby was driving, and it doesn't do it justice.

And a few bonus photos:
We went to the Dawes Arboretum on Saturday the 13th, and toured the Daweswood House. So beautiful, but of course you can't take photos inside.
We were a little surprised how many butterflies are still around this late in the season, but I was glad to be able to take some pictures.
Afterwards we drove to Zanesville and had dinner at Tom's Ice Cream Bowl, which was every bit as good as we'd been told.
This guy was watching me eat and it made a little uncomfortable.
This past Saturday we ventured out to Sugar Creek, and wandered around the downtown, checked out the flea market and a couple of local eateries. Fun day!
Isn't this about the prettiest auto repair place you've ever seen?
One claim to fame is the world's largest cuckoo clock. Every half hour there were plenty of people there to hear and see it do its thing.
We finally got some rain over the past couple of days. Glad I got a new garden stake with a rain gauge at the Sugar Creek flea market!
I am sharing my photos every other Thursday, 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 will continue in 2025, every other Thursday, and the link-up is open for two weeks.
