CFFC: Which Way Thru the Seasons

/ amoralegria / 13 Comments

Cee’s series featuring other challenges this week has the theme Which Way. This challenge includes streets, walkways, waterways – any “way” on which people travel.

Winter, spring, summer or fall – there’s always something interesting to experience on roads and sidewalks in every season.

What would spring be without those dotted masses of dandelions?!
