Sunday Stills: Who Are #Tourists?

Sunday Stills: #Twin Fathers
This week’s Sunday Stills photo challenge theme is “twin.” I posted the above image on Instagram a few weeks ago. The dandelion weed with its twinned shadow, grew in a crack in my driveway and the dual colors of cement made an interesting yin-yang…
Can You Ride A Unicycle?
Something unique for Thursday Doors today! As I turn my attention to taking part in new and old photo challenges, I came across these photos of not one, but two cute girls, with doors as their backdrop for some fun! In the featured image…
Sunday Stills: The #Future Is Ours
