This is the third week of a new challenge series that I call the “The Letter C”. I hope you like the topics I have pick out for this series.
This week’s topic is Close Ups. I know I just used this topic for my Black & White Challenge. I set their schedules so differently, I didn’t realize that the topic of Close Ups were running nearly back to back. Although with this challenge is is acceptable and I would say the brighter and more vibrant the color that better. Although bright colors are not necessary for this challenge. Once again, anything up close to a macro works for this challenge.
Feel free to dig around in your archives for photos if you don’t have anything knew you can photograph. Most of all I hope you have fun. This is definitely one where you can add photos of your favorite things.
I had a marvelous response from all of you on last week’s theme of Churches or any religious building Photography. Thanks everyone you always amaze and delight me. I’m proud to announce our featured bloggers from last week’s topic. Their posts really grabbed my attention. Please check out their posts and congratulate them. Maybe you will be chosen next week.

Hi Cee…I’m mixed up about whether I published a close-up before as when I tried to add pictures and publish this, it posted as April 14…So there may be two posts with different pictures. Isn’t life confusing! Judy https://grieflessons.wordpress.com/2015/04/16/cees-fun-foto-challenge-close-ups-2/

I got both….no problem. Now I might have to look at where they came in, because I just pull up everyone through my email.

It was confusing. I did a draft only on the 14th with the pic of the dog but had no time to post it and wanted to add more pics anyway. I added the other pics to it on the 16th and posted it, but it posted it as though it were posted on the 14th and it didn’t show up in the Reader (I follow myself so I can see if I’ve actually posted in the Reader. Only embarrassing when I occasionally “Like” myself by accident…ha. Anyway, I was afraid no one would see it so I reposted the pics and I believe I deleted the post for the 14th. At any rate, sorry for the confusion. Is it possible they do the post date according to the date you first started the draft? That makes no sense…Ah the wonders of WordPress and the vast ignorance of one of its posters…Yes, me.

If you set the time to post it, I think it will post date it somehow. It’s confusing. Two is usually better than one!! 🙂
