Photo challenge: CLOSE UP

July 29, 2015 by Patricia Sands 15 Comments

There’s nothing like a photo challenge for pure relaxation when you’re in the middle of editing your manuscript. This week’s challenge from The Daily Post is “Close Up”. Pop on over and take a look at the collection of fabulous participating websites.

I love flipping through my albums. These are from our memorable stay high up the Swiss Alps last May. From the garden:

What have you been close up to lately? I’ve got to get close up with my manuscript again right this minute … the end is in sight! Could be a long night …

    What awesome photographs!!! These images are powerful. Thanks!

    I have only been close to the PC, books, and… medications lately. And most nights are way too long for me now.

    Your posts help me, and so do your books. So – get close up with your manuscript right away, please!

      Thanks, Margaret. You would appreciate how many shutter clicks it took me to finally capture that bee!

    Oh my goodness! Your photos are breathtaking! Chronic migraines keep me housebound much of the time, so I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you bringing the beauty of nature up close to me. Thank you! Sending you many good thoughts on the finishing of your book! 🙂

      Thanks, Karla, I’m glad you enjoy my photos. I love sharing them. So sorry about your migraines. I can only imagine how difficult that is to deal with. I’ve had a lot of fun writing Book #3 and can’t wait to get it out. However, the publishing date is out of my hands since Amazon purchased the rights. So we are all going to have to wait until 2016. In the meantime, I’ll keep posting photos for you. <3
