A Photo a Week Challenge: Pink

pink_nmp

I am not a girly girl. Pink has never been my favorite color. I have very little pink in my wardrobe, and it is never my first choice of color for anything. That being said, I love pink in nature: pink flowers, pink cheeks, pink-hued sunrises and sunsets. I feel that our world would be a less expressive place without this vivid, vibrant color.

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO (OR THREE…) FEATURING THE COLOR PINK.

Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography. Here’s how it works:

  1. Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
  2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ and “Photo a Week” tags.
  3. Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.
  4. Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Things with Wings

I have always had trouble getting good photos of live things that fly. I love photos other people have taken of birds and butterflies and bugs in flight. The Hawaiian bride and groom did a butterfly release at the end of the ceremony. The butterflies had to be kept cold and then “woken up” at the right time for them to fly. These were a little behind the time, so I was able to get some good shots of a couple of them on the bouquet.

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO THAT FEATURES THINGS WITH WINGS.

Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Evanescent

Flowers from Dad's casket

For this week’s challenge, I’m reusing a photo from my father’s funeral. Not only are the flowers fleeting, but it also reminds me to make the most of every day with those I love. Our time here is measured, and we know not the hour of our passing.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Phone-tography

Cell phone photography is so prevalent these days, I figured it was about time I had a challenge where you pull out your phones and take a picture. There’s no theme other than a photo taken with your phone.

Have fun!
