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.

at home (monthly) - we gave the kitchen table and chairs we'd "inherited" with the house to our son and we got this small gateleg table/kitchen cart instead. I took this photo before I'd put anything in or on it.
in my cup - I tried Somali Shaah (extremely similar to chai) at East African Coffee House and it was very good! Very nice classy coffee house, so we'll visit again.
path - you can't actually see the path, but this planting of Black-Eyed Susans was along the bike/walking path when we finally walked over to the park down our road. There's not much else there - it's a bike trail to the school basically. But these flowers were so pretty!

And a few bonus photos:
The Canada Geese are at it again, getting in my way of getting to and from work. Haha. At least I am safe in my car this time, instead of having to walk past geese to get inside the building at work!

On the weekend we went to the Rib & Jazz Fest in downtown Columbus.
On Tuesday night we went to the Columbus Clippers baseball game, because the chorus was singing the anthem. Hard to believe, but it's possible this will be the only baseball game we go to this year!
I usually get hubby to hold the phone to take the couples selfie of us, which means running the risk of him taking photos like this . . . or sometimes shots that are even more unflattering!
Thankfully we usually get at least one where we look relatively normal.
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.

That rainbow is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat rainbow is a great capture! We have geese all over our lawn and boy they really can be quite mean.
