Photo A Day Challenge – May 1-15, 2014

by Laurel Storey on May 15, 2014

in Artsy-Craftsy

We’re now halfway through May, so I thought I’d share a mid-month installment of the photos I’ve posted for the May Photo A Day Challenge.

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.)

Ready

#fmsphotoaday May 12 - Ready... as in, now that I no longer have a front walkway and the road workers are kibitzing on my front porch and our water has been shut off for the umpteenth time, I am READY for this construction to be done already.

I loved the one of the mother and the potato chip one — wonder what that says about me???

Great pics

Lovely photos, Larurel. The “Lines” and “In the Garden” are absolutely stunning. Each picture tells a story for sure! Great.

Your photos are stunning and so creative, Laurel. Each one is its own work of art. I enjoyed looking at those and hope to see more. I am a photography fanatic, too, so I just love looking at other photographers’ work. Wow, you write, draw and take pictures. A very creative lady!

Hi – stopping by from seeing your post in the Facebook UBC group. This is the second post I’ve seen featuring photos for the day – very nice and I love the name of your blog, too!

Is it the same cat in both pictures? The one of the kitty on the stairs is great! Thanks for sharing!

  Thanks so much! Yes, in this case it’s the same cat (Felix) – though his brother (Oscar) is almost identical and often shows up in my photos. I’m not sure if a month has gone by when one or the other hasn’t featured in one of my Photo A Day Challenge pics!
