Welcome to my ongoing 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'm more likely to 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. Here's how it works: Every two weeks I have a few words and phrases to focus on, and I try to find opportunities to take pictures of these things each week. The link-up post will be here every other Thursday, sharing my photos and offering a link-up for participants to share theirs. Right below the link-up is where you'll find the next set of prompts.

purple
out for a walk (quarterly) - at the mudflats boardwalk in Galena
grow
at home (monthly) - as the song says, "wherever I hang my hat, that's my home". We'll be hanging our hats at this place and calling it home for another month or so.
trees
big and/or small - our granddaughter looks very small compared to this big old tree!
birds - no impressive closeups, just this shot of cormorants roosting in the trees on a little island at the mudflats
And a few bonus photos:
Transporting tulips to Maryland at our son's request
Our granddaughter is in a karate class - very fun to watch them!
Stopped by to visit our daughter at work and checked out the pianos they were working on in the shop. They're painting this one - so pretty, but not quite purple.

Sure wanted to go into The Coffee Vault, but that will have to wait for another weekend.
Contenders for the "at home" photo were the family photos on the mantel, and what our evenings look like now that the Stanley Cup playoffs are underway.
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.
The Everyday Images link-up is posted every other Thursday, and is open for two weeks.

The boardwalk looks like a nice place to walk!
