Taking in Life Around Me: Photo Challenges

 I love taking photos, there's something about telling a story through photos, preserving memories. When my girls were done playing sports and I started working outside the home, I discovered that I had stopped taking my camera out as much. This year I decided to remedy that. This page is a landing spot for the challenges I decide to participate in.
