30 Day Photo Challenge.- Capturing moments




Hello!

I'm so happy to have you here.

I put together this 30-day photo challenge to help you capture everyday moments.
Beautiful moments, simple moments, silly moments, and just a few things in between.
I think that through this challenge you will grow to love taking pictures if you don't already!

Grab your camera, and let's get going!

“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”
― Ansel Adams








Do you enjoy taking pictures? 
Is there a picture that you have taken that brings back so many memories?
I'd love to hear about it...
Leave a comment below. 

And now I'll leave you with just a few of my favorite photography quotes...

“For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.”
― Henri Cartier-Bresson

“A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.”
― Brigitte Bardot

“Photography is a magical kind of art that allows people to preserve time and moments, and to describe the world the way they see it.”
― Sahara Sanders

    So often, we don't take the time to photograph ordinary everyday things. Taking the time to take these photos will definitely make us slow down and appreciate the small things in life.

      I love this challenge. I take pictures all the time, but the way you constructed this challenge, forces you to look beyond what you think is picture worthy into everyday ordinry beauty that surround us. Thank you for the reminder. Love the quotes! And yes, i love taking pictures, i call myself my family’s memory keeper. I create photo books and always sort out my pictures.

    This is a good challenge, with a nice mix of different components. I love how a lot of them are nature-related, which means that you'll be forced to spend loads of time outside.

    This is a great challenge! Honestly, I'm so happy that I started running an Instagram account for my blogs. It helped me to start taking more pictures and recording memories that are so important for me. My accounts aren't overly staged - they are very real and raw, which helps.

    I've done a blog writing challenge before, but never a photo challenge. It looks like a ton of fun! Thanks for sharing. I'll have to do this soon.

    I DO love taking pictures. I'm not a pro, but I don't think that matters. I love that quote you shared by Ansel Adams--that's exactly what I think, too. :) What a nice challenge--a great opportunity to focus on the little things and see if you can create something interesting from it! Thank you for sharing this post at the Will Blog for Comments #28 linkup! Hope to see you next week, too.

Colorful Summer Flower: Recycled Paper Towel DIY

DIY Upcycled Peanut Jars

Transform your old peanut jars into stylish, functional containers with these creative and easy DIY upcycling ideas. Learn how to repurpose your peanut jars and give them a new life with practical and decorative uses.   Materials needed: Two  empty peanut containers Two sheets of crafting paper tape scissors Start  by removing the old label on your peanut containers  Next, you'll want to wrap your crafting paper around your container.  If you find that it does not completely cover the container, cut out a single strip to use later. I found it easier to wrap my containers with my craft paper and make the marks I needed before cutting them to size.  Tape your crafting paper into the container and then make necessary cuts to the paper using your scissors. Once this is done, take the last piece of crafting paper that you cut out earlier and place it over the spot that you were unable to cover. Take some clear tape and apply it to the contai...

DIY Tea Tin Planter for Sweet Mint

Today’s tiny DIY win: turning an empty lemon‑ginger tea tin into a planter for a sweet mint plant that needed some love. I cleaned the tin, added drainage, and nestled the mint inside. It instantly brightened up the space — the colors on the tin and the fresh green leaves look so sweet together. I love giving everyday items a second life, especially when they end up this cute. Quick Video Tutorial  I began this little project by cleaning out an empty metal tea container that I had saved. It still held a soft scent of lemon and ginger, and I loved the idea of giving it a second life. Once I washed and dried it, the container felt ready for a new purpose.   Next, I used a finishing nail and a hammer to create a few drainage holes in the bottom of the tin. Since metal containers don’t have natural drainage, this step helps keep the roots healthy and prevents the soil from becoming soggy. Having prepared the container, I carefully removed the sweet mint from its original pot. The ...
