Tuesday Photo Challenge – Green

Let’s make Kermit proud!

In this fourth installment of the Tuesday Photo Challenge, I’d like to shift our focus to a color: Green!

In taking a closer look at green, I’d like to challenge you and see you challenge yourself to explore the nuances that can be provided by this color that speaks to us of growth, renewal and the season that helps us survive Winter.

Hopefully, the image that I’m including provides you with a bit of inspiration to push your boundaries, as far as you can.  Over the next couple of days, I will also be looking for some more green magic to capture and will be sharing that with you later this week.

Let’s prove Kermit wrong: “It’s easy being green!”

Round-up time!

I really enjoyed seeing the creativity that was used in responding to this week’s Tuesday Photo Challenge’s topic of ‘Different View‘.  This inspires me to come up with something creative for this week…

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Different View

Which angle works for you?

In the third installment of this series, let’s take yet another look at the world around us and see, if we can find a ‘Different View’; something that we may not notice in our daily wandering on this little, blue planet.

This past weekend, I decided to accompany my wife for herding practice with our youngest dog, and brought my camera with me for some exploring, which led to this view for inspiration…

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Texture

The fabric of our lives

In the second installment of this series, we’re going in another direction from last week’s ‘Around the House’ (did you get a chance to shoot something cool?).  This week, my inspiration came from my favorite pair of blue jeans, as I realized that they were beyond  repair.  The reached the time in their life of being perfectly worn-in…

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Around the House

This doesn’t hold water

I’d like to kick off something new this week: a photo challenge, in which I’m asking you to participate, if you like.

Part of my reason for this new feature is that I want to work some new photography, some new excitement into my more routine work of landscape photography.  My inspiration for this comes from some of the recent posts by Instamatic Gratification and the discussion I have had with Caryn about her recent posts.  She mentioned that she was photographing some items around the house just to break out of a rut.

Therefore, I am starting this new series off with the topic ‘Around the House’.  Here’s my first image:
