PPAC #31: In the Woods

For Marsha’s Photographing Public Art Challenge.

I wrote a post last August about the Evergreen Trail at Columbia Springs Environmental Education Center in Vancouver, WA. But I didn’t include photos of the wood carvings that can be found along the trail. These have been carved into still-standing dead trees.

I don’t think I even noticed all of them the last time I was there, but Chules and I went on the trail again this past week, and there they were, just staring at us.

Kind of a fun discovery.

Last photo of April ’21

April is always my busiest month in posting thanks to the National Poetry Writing Month challenges that I try to participate in. I always think it’s going to energize me to keep up the momentum for the rest of the year, but that never quite pans out.

Last year, after posting daily in April, I averaged one post per month for the subsequent seven months. This year, I hope to perform better than last. I mean the bar isn’t that high, so…

I will be exploring new blog “challenges” this year, beginning with one I discovered on Manja Mexi Mexcessive‘s blog. The rules, as posted by the challenge host Bushboys World:

1. Post the last photo on your SD card or last photo on your phone for the 30th April.
2. No editing – who cares if it is out of focus, not framed as you would like or the subject matter didn’t cooperate.
3. You don’t have to have any explanations, just the photo will do
4. Create a Pingback to this post or link in the comments
5. Tag “The Last Photo”

The last photo I took on my iPhone last month:

Sebastian ~ hunting or hiding? He’s much better at the latter.

Seven Days in Black and White

I’ve been nominated by Cee at Cee’s Photography to take part in a new photo challenge that’s going around blogdom.

The rules for the challenge are as follows:

  • Seven days.
  • Seven black and white photos of your life.
  • No people.
  • No explanation.
  • Challenge someone new each day

I’m going to skip that last part about challenging someone new each day. If you want to play along, consider yourself nominated!

Thanks for the challenge, Cee. What could be better than a chance to share a bit of one’s life, no explanations expected?
