SYW: On Disagreements, Politicians, Idyllic Gardens and Trick-or-Treating

Melanie B. Cee hosts the weekly Share Your World challenge; this week with a nod to Halloween!

It’s Almost Here!

Granny Shot It’s 11-Day Halloween decorations photo challenge is coming to a close! My contribution today is from our community’s Great Pumpkin Contest!

CFFC: Busy Hands

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week has the theme of HANDS. Looking through my photos, I found hands in various positions and engaging in various tasks – hands are seldom idle! Some hands are meant to scare… like on Halloween! Sometimes hands are helpful, pointing out things of interest… Hands demonstrate how to make things… […]
