So begins the March Photo a Day challenge round up! Yellow is one of my favourite colours, so a great start.
March saw snow and snow days off school, we had a few trips out to local State Parks and the zoo which is always a treat.
I read ‘The Hive’ by Gill Hornby and laughed all the way through it. Being a Brit living in the US, it always a joy to find such an ‘English’ book. None of the colloquial language had been edited and I loved all of it! Now what to read? I think I am going to give ‘The Goldfinch’ by Donna Tartt a go. Have you read it? Any recommendations?
The garlic is growing nicely in the raised beds and I have planted some Basil, Coriander/Cilantro and Ancho chili pepper seeds in pots, so we can’t wait to see them start to shoot up.
And of course I took a photo every day following the prompts provided by Chantelle of Fat Mum Slim. Thanks Chantelle!

I think I like 16 and 17 which were ‘made’ using the Diana app on the iPad. Of course I love Buttercup the Powerpuff girl too!
Happy Wednesday!

Gosh Clare, did you take all those photos? I would still be trying to think of ideas for most of them! Was trying to pick a favourite but couldn’t, love the flower, the far away haha and the metro link!
You just get into the habit of taking them and the prompts help.
I love these pictures, especially the apple next to the rough wood. By the way, you have excellent hair!
Thanks Sioban! That apple was playing quite the balancing act there!
I love the yellow image, very cheery 🙂
That yellow was hard to beat!
My favourite is ‘evening’. Wow. How did you do the outline on that shot? Great post 🙂
Thanks Rebecca, I took the photo on the Hipstamatic app on my phone, I used the Akira lens and Kodoma film and it is the film which produced the frame. Clare x
Brilliant Clare – will need to check this out as it is amazing! 🙂
Great roundup! I love this idea. I’m doing April… and am already finding it to be a daily challenge 🙂
Heike, you take such great photos. The prompt can usually be manipulated to be about anything you like. Think healthy artistic license….! It is very cool when you have a month or two completed and it also makes the easiest blog post in the world!!
Love the textures in #12. Now, I’m inspired to do one of those photo challenges myself.
Thanks Joanna, the photo a day is great fun, just write the prompts on your calendar and off you go!
