30 Day Winter Photo Challenge Day Seven - "Hazy Gold"

Of course for days after this prompt I found tons of Hazy Gold things I could have captured, but on day seven my only source of gold was again in the sky. Las Vegas skies, when they have clouds, can be fantastic.

Debi didn't give me any info on her photo from where she is in North Carolina. Any guesses on her subject?

30 Day Winter Photo Challenge Day Six - "Moody"

"Moody" by Shannon

I tried to get a photo of my four-year-old this morning by asking him to show me an angry face. Instead, he gave me some great smiley photos, which I didn't mind having. So for this prompt, I turned to the sky. Luckily it was cloudy, and as I drove home I saw the sun trying to peek out from a hole in the clouds, but the moody sky prevented it.

Debi told me that her best chance to get a "Moody" photo this morning was by taking a photo of her own face, since today's prompt reflected her mood. I liked that idea, but she didn't feel like posting a moody face photo for the world to see. Maybe next time.

30 Day Winter Photo Challenge Day Five - "Cozy Moments"

Of course we both chose our dogs the subject of this prompt. What else knows the epitome of comfort better than a dog?

30 Day Winter Photo Challenge Day Four - "Fireside"

Debi opted out of today's prompt, unable to find anything "Fireside"-related. While I could not find an actual fire (this fireplace is gas and not real wood), I figured this crazy mess by our fireplace would suffice.

30 Day Winter Photo Challenge Day Three - "Wood"

This one was easy for me. I headed out to the small pile of wood by our firepit in the backyard, and there was this piece with gorgeous bark. In the dim morning light, the reddish color didn't show as much as I would have liked, but hey, this is a cell phone challenge with no pressure.

I assume Debi's photo is from a piece of wood inside her house, since she lives by the beach and has all kinds of interesting things she has picked up or purchased from local artisans.

30 Day Winter Photo Challenge Day Two - "Hot Chocolate"

We agreed in advance that today's topic would be difficult. Debi was on a plane for most of the day, and both of us had trouble getting away from the literal idea of the prompt. After the first leg of Debi's travel, she was able to find the warm brown of Hot Chocolate in her airport soup. I lucked out in the morning when the Starbucks barista called out "Hot Chocolate!" while I waited for my drink; I mentally thanked the barista for reminding me to take my daily photo.

30 Day Winter Photo Challenge Day One - "Pure White"

I am happy to share that my awesome artsy-fartsy Stepmom has agreed to do a 30-Day Winter Photo Challenge with me that I found on christinagreve.com, via Pinterest. Since she lives in North Carolina and I am in Las Vegas, it will be interesting to see how we interpret these "winter" prompts from climates that don't necessarily look like Winter.

 

Our only rules for this challenge are that we are taking the photos with our cell phones to make it all easier, and if we forget a day, it's okay! No pressure!

 

These are our two photos for today's prompt..."Pure White."
