Last week, I decided to take up iheartfaces Alphabet Photo Challenge | The Letter “A” just to give my brain a different creative photographic workout.

One rule I added to this challenge for myself for an additional twist was that the photos had to be centered around my own home inside or outside and no where else.

I thought this would be a great way for me to exercise my brain and eyes as I was confined to a certain area forcing me to actually look at was around me every day.

With that extra rule implemented I spent last week really taking a good look at what was around my immediate area. It’s amazing the things you notice when you actually take the time to look and explore. Below is what I was able to find.

Photo 1. The “A Frame” swing I made with my father-in law many years ago.

Photo 2. The answering machine that sits right on my desk and  photo 3. one of the A/C units that is tucked behind my house in the backyard.

The photo above was a bonus discovery.  How you asked? Well, I tripped over them one night when I went to check something in our closet… my husband’s collections of record albums.

I must say I really enjoyed this little brain and eyes exercise I plan to checkout iheartfaces again to see what they have going next.

Until next time, don’t forget to take time out to enjoy your view.
