Participation took a little bit of hit this week. I’m sure it probably had to do a bit with the fact that there are only 2 times a day somebody could take a picture for this theme. If they were taking the theme literally. Or maybe something else caused a… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 43 – SUNRISE/SUNSET

Some TREE pictures I didn’t select for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE a few weeks back. Man these pictures are pathetic losers. No offense.
