Pure
How quickly we forget the way the world transforms after a fresh snow. This is a photo from my archives. How strange and pure a Virginia wintry scene is from an air-conditioned room at the beginning of a long hot summer.

Today Was a Good Day
Show us what makes you happy. Share your ideal day, recount a memorable day in the past, or share your favorite things.
This photo was taken here in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. It was at a time when our grandgirls were little and loved the joy of a ride on a tractor.

Beneath Your Feet
This week, look down and capture the ground beneath your feet.
My Driveway may not be perfect you know, but it works for country folks on the go. I gather up stones for flower pots too, and if careful, no pebbles will stick in my shoe. And just look at all the shapes and sizes. My gravel driveway. It’s full of surprises.

YELLOW
Away with the colors of Hannukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa.
Show us what “yellow” means to you.
See the yellow center of a rainbow
and its cast upon the land
shedding promises in a golden glow
painted by a master hand.

Daily Post
Photos are visual spaces where shapes and lines, objects and people come together.
This week, explore the ways lines and shapes can converge in interesting ways through photography. You can take the theme in a literal or an abstract direction, as you see fit – from a photo of a by-road merging into a busy highway to an image of an airport terminal where people from all over the world form hectic, ephemeral communities.

The Daily Photo Challenge: Adventure
This week, share a photo that says “adventure.” Whether your own or someone else’s, literal or figurative, take us on a photographic adventure. It could be an image of someone setting off on an epic journey, a photo you took on an adventure of your own or something more metaphoric that represents a personal or psychological adventure. We’re excited to see where you’ll take us!
Looking for Texture

Texture
This week, share a texture found in an unexpected place. It could be made of natural materials or with man-made objects. This is a great opportunity to look at the world in a slightly different way — along with looking at things from new angles. Zooming very far out or very far in are both great ways to create texture and pattern in photos.
Yes, I was looking around for texture and zooming around, and this is what I found. Can you guess what it is?
‘Tis the shell of a Galapagos Tortoise! I took a picture of the giant creature at the Virginia Safari Park. Isn’t nature amazing?
