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.

building - I knew there were upgrades being made to the high school I drive by sometimes, but I was shocked to go by one day this week and see a project that looks more like they are starting from scratch! So at present it is a building site.
selfie (quarterly)
vintage - Ye Olde Trail Tavern in Yellow Springs is reputed to be the oldest tavern in Ohio, built in 1847. The sign doesn't date back that far, but is still vintage.
arrow - I got lucky with this one when I noticed two road signs with arrows in this photo of a covered bridge.
handwriting
nest - I had photos of swallows' nests under the bridge, but this little piece of decor in a shop was much prettier.
in the kitchen - my kitchen was not in any way suitable to be photographed during most of the past couple weeks, so I was fine with it being in the background and out of focus.
And a few bonus photos:
First batch is from our day hiking at Glen Helen Nature Preserve:
And these are from the Hoover Reservoir Park, where I was happy to get a fairly decent photo of an egret, despite how much I had to zoom in to get it.
This was the Mother's Day card I got from my daughter. She knows me. 💓
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.
