more August Break 2014

...and here I am again. Back before the end of August! I am taking a very relaxed approach to the August Break challenge as well as being reminded of how good it is to take a short break to really notice something and enjoying the pondering that is created by the prompts. I've thought about the prompts more days than I've actually taken photos. Here are the latest two photos that I have taken in response to the prompts -

August Break 2014

... and HERE I AM! When I posted in November last year about my intention to blog again I imagined it would be sooner than August. Enough of that though, I'm here now.

I am participating in a fun challenge during August. Started by Susannah Conway, many people all over the world are joining in and also getting fabulously inspiring emails. Here are the prompts - the idea being to take a photograph each day in August.

It's a gentle challenge with no real rules. As Susannah writes, "You can use any camera. You could shoot every day or every other day or just on weekends. You can share your photos or just enjoy taking them without sharing. You can start and not finish. You can join in at the end."

Originally I planned to post every day over on my other blog Pausing to pick up small stones but well, that hasn't worked out and I think this is actually a better place. I can write a bit more and post a few at a time if I want.

I'm posting the photos I take (which hasn't been every day but in line with the essence of the challenge that hasn't stopped me from continuing) on instagram. If you'd like to see them there my username is lionswish. I have made up a little rule of my own in that I am using Hipstamatic for all of my photo taking. I'm still obsessed with that app!

Here are the three photos I have taken so far -
