The August Photo A Day Challenge is only half over, but already I think it’s one of my favourite months yet. For whatever reason I’ve been really satisfied with several of the shots I’ve taken, and have felt as though my creativity has been bending and stretching. It’s a good feeling, and I’m enjoying it while it lasts!
I’ve been sharing my photos on Instagram, Twitter, Flickr, and the FMS Photo A Day group on Facebook, but thought I’d also periodically do a round-up of my photos here on Alphabet Salad for the benefit of my readers who aren’t active on any of these platforms.
Hope you enjoy!
(Clicking on any of the photos below will take you to my Flickr account… and, depending on your browser, hovering over them will give you – in some cases – an explanation as to how I interpreted the prompt.)

I’ve never tried photography using prompts. My favorites were: first, the salt – loved the crystals. Second, the clouds – the photo had the look of an old postcard, perhaps from the 1960’s, with that special shade of blue. And last, In the Middle of one of your Zentangles. Thank you for sharing your photo art.

I especially enjoy your interpretation of “pile” and “spot” – love your cats – and “salt.” Wish my camera worked as I love the idea of a photo-a-day for the month. I look forward to your upcoming photos Laurel. 🙂 <3

Thank you, Elly! And you know, I take all of my photos with my iPhone… nothing fancy! The salt one was taken using a macro lens for the iPhone, but still, no fancy camera. So it’s possible to participate that way!

OMG SALT!!!
They’re all such wonderful pictures, but, wow — SALT! I bet that took a bit of time to set that picture up.
You are such a multitalented artist – writer, photographer, zentangler, etc… And daily… And organized too – how do you do that. My switch gets stuck one place or the other … logical, organized & efficient — or creative. I can’t seem to activate and coordinate both at the same time.

Great photos, Laurel, but I’m not sure what the “Pet Peeve” is?
Twitter: alphabetsalad
August 17, 2014
Thank you, Elaine! The Pet Peeve photo represents kitchen items that are supposed to be nested, but aren’t. Peter is a great one for unloading the dishwasher and just piling things like nesting measuring cups or mixing bowls in a precarious tower. Grrrr! 😉
