In case you missed it, the FMS Photo A Day Challenge changed from monthly to weekly in 2015. I’m personally still planning to hang in there for the whole month (in fact, I’d love to do another full year if I can!), but if that’s not something that easily fits into your schedule it’s good to know that a weekly option is available. Here’s the latest prompt list, in case you’d like to give it a whirl.
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.)
To be continued…
Are you doing a photo challenge this month?
Please share!

Wonderful photos, Laurel. I didn’t realize it was a weekly challenge now–I wondered why there was only a week’s worth of topics posted! I love that black goat–so cute! What teeth! and I like the prompt you used it with. Love your patterns, too. I’m not sure what the Jan. 4th one is. Is it a cat toy? or a bowl? Anyway, nice job. I hadn’t seen all of these, and I enjoyed them.

Thank you, Elaine! The January 4th picture is a cat toy – a track where they can push the ball around and around, but it can’t come out. Also there’s a scratching pad in the middle. The boys love it!

I enjoyed the January 3 photo the most – I love black and white photography, although I don’t engage in it myself. I’ve never done a photo challenge – I like to have the freedom to do what I want.

I think what I like about the challenge is that the prompts give me ideas to try things that might not otherwise have occurred to me. Quite fun!

I love it! Is this something you can jump in on at any time? I love my photos and would love an excuse to post them.

Yes, the rules are few and very flexible – definitely jump in whenever you want! There’s a great group of people on the challenge’s Facebook group, as well.

I like ‘lucky number’ 3 as that is my number in life and I see it’s on January 13 which a lot of people associate with bad luck, but isn’t. 😉 Curious what Jan. 4th is as I don’t understand it. 😉 Great interpretation of photos Laurel. 🙂 <3

Thanks, Elly! The January 4th picture is a cat toy that our boys love, and for awhile the noise it made was all I could hear in the living room!

Great pix! The smiling animal was my fave, too. I’ve taken a pic a day for five years and am starting the sixth now. (See http://thoughtstipsandtales.com/2014/05/23/141/.) But they’re not nearly the high quality that your photos are! It’s fun, though — and a challenge to find something to photograph.

The sheer range of your photography always impresses me! I love the one for ‘Round’. What nut is that?

Those are hazelnuts (or filberts, if you prefer) – so yummy, but rather hard to crack!

Amazing! You can make the most common, everyday things look spectacular! It’s a gift.
