Hello & Happy May! I love this time of year in my part of the world. It is springtime, things are bursting with color, the days are getting longer and these things lift my mood! I enjoy getting outside and exploring my little world to see what is going on and I love documenting the things around me. So for the photography challenge this month, I want you to take a photo walk. Take a walk where ever you like - this can be around the inside of your home, your yard, your neighborhood, village, town, or city. It can be inside a local market, a shopping center, a local park, or though a nature center. Where ever you feel like exploring will be great! While you are on your photo walk, take photos of what you see, what catches your interest, the little details and the larger overview. Take a variety of photos of different subjects and just capture the world around you on your walk. Then scrap at least 5 different photos on your layout. You can scrap more, but you should have at least five different photos on your page from your photo walk. As a recap, your May photography challenge is to take a photo walk and then create a layout with at least 5 different photos from your photo walk. I took my photo walk around my yard as I get ready to prepare for spring clean up and found so many things that caught my eye and I enjoyed capturing with my camera. Here is the layout I created with some of those photos: Credits: Forever Joy Greener Grass, Just Jaimee Storyteller BYOC March 2020, & Allison Pennington So Basic Spring Stitches I hope you have fun on your photo walk and I can't wait to see the places you explore. Happy photographing & documenting!

Each page counts for one challenge (you cannot use one layout for multiple challenges).
A walk thru the Columbia Springs Fish Hatchery, Vancouver, WA. I took some photos of my back yard and they weren't that great, so I'm glad I was up in this area today for an appointment, I stopped by and had a walk thru...
Thank you SO MUCH for NOT asking us to take photos of flowers, gardens or Spring! Hee hee! I waited until a day I had a lot to accomplish! We walk a lot here, but just getting out of my gate was an adventure with so much to capture, due to the renovation of the little two room 'house' just inside our gate. From the vegetable man with his hand weights to the weird things you see on the streets here and the interesting ways people dry seeds and things! This was an awesome challenge for me! Thank you!
All the photos are from my evening walk with my little doggie Pixie. She's such a little sniffer and you can't be in a hurry when you are out with her!
It was a sunny day on polling day so I took my camera with me, and found some pretty things to photograph on route.
