Lens Artists Challenge #225: Wildlife Close to Home

This week, Anne leads the photo challenge with “Wildlife Close to Home”: “Stop. Look. Listen.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #147: Gardens

Subtitle: Garden not my garden. This week's LAPC challenge is to share the beauty of gardens, whether your own garden, another's garden, or the experience of gardening.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #146: Focusing on the Details

As many of you know, I'm rather challenged when it comes to challenges. Since I retired, I no longer have a calendar on my wall. I've been using my cat Maxine's pill dispenser to tell me what day it is. Such is the life of a procrastinator. But after coming across a couple of Lens-Artists…
