Variations on a Theme

Hiatus...

2010-04-30T00:03:00.004-04:00

Because life is what it is sometimes, we find ourselves in need of a brief haitus from the blog. We'll be back as soon as possible, and in the mean time we hope you take the time each day to enjoy the beauty around you! Snap a photo of it now and again, too. ;)

We're doing something a little different this week. Instead of posting a single image each day, we'll be posting images in series. The theme for the images themselves is wide open. Feel free to play along! Post links to your series images in the comments area of any of this week's posts.

Sunday: Red
Monday: Orange
Tuesday: Yellow
Wednesday: Green
Thursday: Blue
Friday: Purple
Saturday: Brown

Please join us in capturing these colors this week and share them with us by posting links to your images in the comments section for each day.

Like much of the mid-Atlantic region, we got slammed with a huge snow storm late last week. It looks like we might be getting a follow-up storm this week, too. Snow is very much on our minds right now, and in our line of vision, so we thought it would be the perfect theme for this week's photos. If you're one of the many lucky people who are also digging their way out from all this white stuff, please join us in finding the beauty in it and post links to your snow photos in the comments area of any of this week's posts.

Brrr! Depending on what part of the world you're in, you may be as cold as we are here in southwestern Pennsylvania. (If you're further north, you are likely colder and thus have our sympathies!) This week, we'll put all of this snow and ice to use as we shoot for our new theme, cold. Please share your cold photos with us too, by providing links to them in the comments section of any of this week's posts. In the mean time, stay warm!
