The challenge this week is “Backyard Photography”; Tammie Jean, author of the blog, Long Drives to Nowhere came up with this challenge:

“What I like best about backyard photography (or photography at the local park) is that you don’t have to go very far to get great shots – there are plenty of opportunities right there in front of you.”

Julie’s been doing this for awhile, then I saw
Zoot’s favorites, then Amy did it, too.

After viewing the pictures I have favorited on Flickr, I realized I need to go browse a bit. Most of my favorites are of Japan, but there’s tons of shots I like that friends have taken that I haven’t favorited. I need to change that! I’ll do another post on this, and soon!

If you play, please link back to me and leave me a comment letting me know you played, so I can come visit!
