I originally wanted to add that no two pictures could be taken with the same lens, but wife said there was no way I was going to buy 50 more lenses. Ha!

Week #1 Theme Abandoned

Well, I'm off to a good start, if I do say so myself and in order too. Ha! I am still not sure how successful I will be for the rest of this challenge, but hopefully it will only get better from here. ;)

Week #3 Theme Gates

The third week of the year is almost over. I ended without my list and not much internet access, so my list of themes wasn't available. All I could remember was "Arches" because many were posting pictures of them. I began looking for some arches to photograph. I found a couple, but when I did get to my list, I realized that I had eliminated "Arches" from my list. Hmmm! Now what to do? The one I chose for this week is a gate with an arch and is an entrance into a residential yard. Also I am posting a second picture of some arches at a monastery. Hope I can do better for next week.

Week #5 Theme Leaves
On a little outing today and found some leaves that had collected along a running creek (In AZ, really) after 1 1/2" of rain in one day. Not much rain for some of you, but in SE AZ that's quite a bit for one day. Ha!

Wet Leaves - A pile of leaves
When doing some PP I noticed the white spots/specks. At first I thought it must have been some rain spots on the lens, but subsequent photos I took didn't seem to show similar specks. I am guessing that it was something (debris) that had washed up with the leaves and I just hadn't noticed. What do you think?
