It's been a busy few days, so this is just a brief update on the Photo a Day Challenge. Friday night we went to the Mint Hill Arts "Fire & Water Do Mix" gallery opening, and last night was Terra4m's "An Artful Affair" sale, but more on all that later!

August Photo a Day Challenge Day 6: Writing

I spent some lovely time this evening sitting on my back porch writing & reading while I waited for the storms to come. Since today's prompt was "writing," I photographed my journal.

I'm really enjoying this photo challenge, even more so than the one I did back in October. I think it is especially fun to be taking the challenge with a friend, and that adds a certain level of motivation to remember to post. It also adds a layer of anticipation, waiting to see what others are inspired to see from the prompt!

August Photo a Day Challenge Day 5: Logo

The photo a day prompt was "logo" yesterday. I meant to take a picture of the 300 East logo when I worked last night, but didn't remember until I arrived home. I scoured the house searching for interesting logos. How is it I could find so few? Certainly not many of interest. Eventually I settled the Farrah's Harrogate Toffee tin, emblazoned with John Farrah's signature. Harrogate Toffee is a tasty treat, designed in 1840 to clear the palate of Harrogate's sulfurous "healing" water (which was what made Harrogate famous as a spa town in the 19th century).

While searching for a history of Farrah's Harrogate Toffee and of Harrogate's healing waters, I came across these interesting posters:

Today I suppose I'm enjoying all things British - fitting with the Olympics once again being in London!

The photo prompt for today is "writing," so I'll be back later to post more. Cheerio!

August Photo a Day Challenge Days 3 & 4: Coin & Somewhere I Sat

I am almost entirely moved in! It's so exciting to be in this new space, and I can't wait to have friends & family over. My mom & stepdad helped me move some of my things today, so they & my littlest sister got to see it. Now for everyone else to come visit!

As for the photo challenge, yesterday's prompt was "coin" & today's was "somewhere you sat." I'm not terribly impressed with the photos I took for either prompt, but I think sometimes that is okay. Remember, you can follow both my photos and my friend Elaine's photos for this challenge on our Pinterest board!
