Here is my entry for Tina of the Lens-Artists Photo A Week Challenge. Tina says, “This week we’re suggesting that in addition to our challenge, you explore and link to some of the other creative opportunities our friends and fellow challengers make available in the WP blogosphere.”
This first one announcing a new Challenge from XingFu Mama called Whatsoever is Lovely Challenge: I can think of anything I photograph that is lovelier or more grand than Lotus flowers.


The sun came out for the first time in nearly two months. So Chris and I just had to hit the road and see what the countryside looked like. This photo would be perfect for Alive and Trekking’s, Which Way Challenge.

This photo taken with my iPhone 13 Pro Max fits in nicely with Jouorneys withJobnBo’s Cell Pic Sunday. It also works well with Hammad’s, Weekend Sky Challenge.

Then there is always Debbie from Travel with Intent. I adore her One Word Sunday challenge. This week her topic is Weather. The photo on the left was taken last year during the ice storm and the photo on the right was taken yesterday of Mt. Hood, Oregon.


I’ve put together a list of challenges and their hosts. So if you know a challenge host, please direct them to my blog. Feel free to contact me anytime. I hope everyone will be able to use my lists.

Recntly, I watched a friend weaving yarn from a neighbor sheep wool. Have you decided to go back to spinning? I thought about you as I watched her turn raw wool into yarn. Keep your health up … Be safe … Isadora 😎

What a lovely collection. And living in sunny South Africa, 2 months without the sun will drive me crazy

We usually get about half and half in the winter time and plenty of rain. But nothing as dark and rainy as this year. 😀 😀

Hammad’s challenge can also be useful… I’m always looking for interesting skies to replace those dull gray skies when I happen to be visiting a place I won’t be back again soon. >grin<
Seriously, I'm really enjoying the responses this week and I'm sure I'll be following some more challenges.
