Sunday Stills Monthly Color Challenge: #Metallic Taste
This is our last color challenge for 2021 and we’re going out with a bang—metallic! Just in time for holiday decorating. Nothing says festive like silver bells, gold stars, and coppery tree ornaments. If you decorate a Christmas tree, I imagine you’ll find a few metallic objects readily available to photograph. As for “metallic taste” … Continue reading Sunday Stills Monthly Color Challenge: #Metallic Taste
Sunday Stills: Getting #Cozy
In our rushed world, now filled with fears of viruses, etc, many of us have forgotten what it's like to be cozy. The last two years have hopefully taught us that being safe in our own homes and neighborhoods provides contentment and that feeling of coziness if we can't be close to our loved ones. … Continue reading Sunday Stills: Getting #Cozy
Sunday Stills Monthly Color Challenge: Drinking in the Ruby #Wine

Sunday Stills: #Leaves have Fallen from the #Trees
Welp, it’s happened. Fall fell, at least here in Eastern Washington.

Sunday Stills: Fur-tastic Paws and Birds of a Feather
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge is all about fur and feathers. Or how about plumage and paws? Although I draw inspiration from a variety of sources, this week, I’m extra-inspired by Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Feet or Paws and Marsha’s WQWWC: Cold. Images of my fur-babies will demonstrate this week's theme, while my feathered … Continue reading Sunday Stills: Fur-tastic Paws and Birds of a Feather
Sunday Stills: #Eerie Sights and Sounds
Now that my children are grown and gone, I really don’t celebrate the day much except for a few mild decorations, which I shared last week. Since Sunday Stills landed on Halloween today, I was inspired for this week’s theme, “Eerie,” by the Google Chrome theme “Eerie Autumn” which cycles wallpaper images to my desktop. … Continue reading Sunday Stills: #Eerie Sights and Sounds
Sunday Stills: Indoor/Outdoor #Décor
This might seem like a strange theme this week, but between Halloween and Autumn (or Spring) decorations, I thought it would be fun to see what everyone else sees.

Sunday Stills: The #Pink Side of October
I know, I know, another color challenge, well, kinda… I enjoyed all of your fabulous oranges last week for the monthly color challenge. But Elle Woods would argue... "Whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed."Elle Woods, Legally Blonde These "pretty in pink" adorable twins enjoyed riding the harvest train and frolicking all … Continue reading Sunday Stills: The #Pink Side of October
Sunday Stills Monthly Color Challenge: Burnt or Blood #Orange
Beware! This post has something for everyone today, including cute dogs, pumpkins, and lots of orange! I don’t know what it is about October that it seems to represent the various shades of orange. Perhaps it's the variety of the fall leaves, pumpkins and Halloween jack o’ lanterns. Hence our color challenge this month, focusing … Continue reading Sunday Stills Monthly Color Challenge: Burnt or Blood #Orange
