Several years ago, I created a photoblog on Aminus3. I think I first discovered this photo community when Nat started posting her beautiful photographs of Japan on the site. I've always loved taking pictures and this was a great way to share some of my favorites. After a few days, I decided to see if I could post a picture every day for an entire year. I'm happy to say that I met that challenge! It's probably one of the few "blogging" challenges with which I've had any success. ;)
I don't get out and shoot as often as I'd like, but thanks to Kelly, SuziQ, Andi, Nat and Trish, I was inspired to try my hand at the Photo-A-Day challenge in August. I knew it might be a bit difficult with our granddaughter here for two weeks, but I figured if I couldn't get a shot every day, I could at least post what I had. And, following Trish's example, I decided to have a month-end wrap-up rather than posting every day on my blog (or Facebook). I've got Instagram on my phone, but I'm too picky and want to see the pictures on my large monitor before sharing them with my friends.
So, here's what I shot. As Trish said last month, these weren't all taken on their given date. I'm not Superwoman, either. ;)
Enjoy!
