The Purpose, the Journey, and the Fun along the way

Here we are, two moms who love our cameras and miss our college art classes and colleagues. With a family it can be difficult to find time for the creative process. Emily and I are using this blog as a way to have fun, work on our photography, keep each other accountable, and be creative!

Each Monday one of us will post a challenge for us both to complete and post a response to by Friday that week. Over the weekend, if time permits each of us will also critique the other's work.

We hope to use this blog as a way to grow together as photographers as we continue to grow as mothers.

If you happen to stumble upon our blog, and want to join in, feel free! Just post your response, with a link to your photos in the MckLinky link for that week. Challenges stay open for three weeks after they are posted.

Photo Challenge #14


This week's challenge idea comes from Bekah.  A while back she shared with me a whole list of ideas and I thought, with all the spring rain we've been getting, this would be a good  week for a Spring Challenge!   Bekah mentioned that she and her mother used to go for walks in the springtime and try and find 21 different signs of spring.

The Challenge: 21 Signs of Spring

Rules:
1.) Take exactly 21 pictures this week exploring the theme.
2.) Submit your top 5 favorite images.
3.) Colour only.
4.) No tweaking.
5.) If you feel like sharing all 21 images feel free to do so, but please mark which are your top 5 favorites (Note: you do NOT have to post all 21 images if you don't feel like it.)

I'll be up north this weekend with my brothers so don't worry if the roundup isn't posted till Sunday or Monday.  I've been very busy, but I haven't forgotten about all our wonderful artists! 
Have a great week everyone!

    Hey! I was unable to REALLY follow the guidelines of the challenge this week due to vehicular problems. One of the pictures that I really wanted was of the palitero. (the guy that goes around w/ a cart in the Hispanic neighborhood selling popsicles) I drove down to the south side to find him, but I couldn't. He came to school the other day and the ringing of his bell really made me think of spring and made me run like one of the kids to get one. While I was searching for him, my car died and I had to walk a mile to buy what I needed to fix it. That took all of my photo challenge time. I was able to take the 5 pictures, but I wish I had more time to do the challenge correctly. Oh well! Here are my pictures:
