The Nicolesy 52 Photo Challenge topic for week 6 is “Framing”. Either a natural frame around the subject captured in camera, or a frame added to the photo in post-processing. The blue bottle was a new photo that I took specifically for this challenge, even though it’s not a new […]

Young, also known as “Nicolesy” and this year on Mighty Networks, Nicolesy is sponsoring a photo challenge that she’s calling, the “52 Photo Challenge”, or “52 PC”. Basically, each […]

Our good friends, Aaron and Susanna, came into town for a few days to visit and to see stuff. It was a great time!
