Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge: It’s all about Nature
For this week’s Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge: It’s all about Nature (https://ceenphotography.com/2016/10/20/cees-black-white-photo-challenge-its-all-about-nature/
“This week the topic is It’s All About Nature which can includes plants, fauna, animals found in nature, trees, rivers, lakes, mountains, weather, etc. What I don’t want to see if man made structures or people. Have a lot of fun with this topic. ”
I dug through my archives for this week’s challenge, but it was hard finding B&W Nature photos with no man-made objects in them. This is what I found…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Shine
“Has the sunshine or any other light source caused you to stop because it’s highlighting something you didn’t notice before? Take a moment to check it out next time it happens and share what you see!” (https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/shine/)

Yesterday
A response in avoidance of the Daily Post’s Writing Prompt https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/millions/
Yesterday was our annual “Shake Out” event, where we are warned weeks in advance of an earthquake drill, and people hope it’s not raining when they are told to exit the building to stand among cars and under trees as practice for the real thing.
The emergency horns go off, and this appears on everyone’s computer screen – as long as the computer is on (and I will note that it took mine several minutes to appear before my office-mate’s). Guess this wouldn’t work so well if the power was out…
We were supposed to get under desks, but you know, dirt and sore knees…but there is under the desk!
Then we were told to exit the building, where we quickly lost sight of the person who was supposed to make sure we all got out. Not sure how safe it would actually be under all those trees…
It was, at least, no longer pissing rain. A sunny October day! In the end, it was kind of nice to get out into the sunshine even just for a few minutes.
Finally! Kitten Thursday!!

Well, the week turned out not as bad as I was anticipating. But, even if it had, it would still be Kitten Thursday! So, here you go…
Cee’s Which Way Challenge: October 19, 2016
And today for Cee’s Which Way Challenge! https://ceenphotography.com/2016/10/19/cees-which-way-photo-challenge-october-19-2016/
“This all about capturing the roads, walks, trails, rails, steps, etc. we move from one place to another on. You can walk on them, climb them, drive them, ride on them, as long as the specific way is visible. Any angle of a bridge is acceptable as are any signs.”
The end of a long journey…well, not so much a journey as a 21K stroll, as posted about before…
Macro Moments Challenge: Week 15
Week 10 of Macro Moments from Musin’ with Susan (https://musinwithsusan.com). (https://musinwithsusan.com/2016/10/19/macro-moments-challenge-week-15/). Just to remind you (and me), here’s how the challenge works:
- Choose a favorite macro photo from the past week or from your archives.
- Add the photo to your post and a brief description. I would love to know, as I am sure others would, too, what camera and lens you used and your settings.
iPhone 6, Camera+ app, Macro setting, f2.2, Exposure 1/15 sec, ISO 500
Now I’m hungry…
