This week’s challenge was DREAMING. Boy, how do you even start to encapsulate that? There are so many things that inspire dreams, that can represent mine (or others) dreams.

I’ve found a wonderful blog that posts a Weekly Photography Challenge so I’ve decided to play along (we all know I love this sort of thing) and get that creative spark going again.

Just like millions of others around the world, I took one look at my waistline after the holidays and thought “I really need to do something about that.” Only I didn’t. Well not really. Both times … Continue reading
