Weekly Photo Challenge: Today

Weekly Photo Challenge: Summer

image by reflectionsinapuddle

Summer is my favourite season, especially because it’s short where I live. It hasn’t fully arrived yet; besides it’s been raining for a few days, and there wasn’t a lot of opportunity for good photos.

As a side note, if you are wondering what’s happening to my blog, why my posts have become sporadic, and why I rarely visit other blogs or leave comments, it’s not because of lack of interest on my part. I am still passionate about blogging and writing, photography and books, and I still enjoy visiting my fellow bloggers, but it seems like my work is taking over my life. Although I don’t foresee any improvement in the near future, I don’t want to close the blog just yet and will be posting from time to time, when time permits, and if I have enough energy to be creative. Cheers! 🙂

Weekly Photo Challenge: Indulge

I took this week’s theme to heart and went to town — literally and figuratively — indulging myself.

First, I visited a home decor store and treated myself to some colourful displays:

Vases

Shiny Stuff

Brooms with Character

Fragile & Funky

Comfy & Indulgent

After I’d had my fill of shine and colour, I went to a bookstore next door:

Fiction Section

and got myself some books:

Bedtime Stories, Stories of the Sea, Dog Stories

What’s not to love about this week’s challenge?! That was FUN! I should do it again some time.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Down

Going down the Nohoch Mul Pyramid in Coba, Mexico

We took this photo two years back in Coba, Mexico: people are making their way down on Nohoch Mul, one of the largest ancient pyramids in Coba rising 137 feet (42 meters), and if you can’t tell from the picture, going down is quite a feat. Here is a second pic to provide some perspective.
