I knew this week’s submissions would be a little light with the combination of the theme and the holiday. However, participation didn’t take too much of a hit. Hopefully it will rebound next week. That theme is pretty easy, but does require a bit of effort. This week’s submissions: Kim… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 11 – RELIGION
There was a bit of a falloff in participation this week, but that was to be expected. I fear this week’s theme will really scare people. That is okay, everybody needs to get out of the comfort zones once in a while. This week’s submissions: Carla Stensland Kim Barker Laura… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 10 – WORK
