Make Your Month Different

On June 2, 2026June 6, 2026 By GeoKsIn Photography2 Comments

This month's PBC theme heightened by awareness of events and decisions outside the bounds of our typical choices. Some were voluntary, some involuntary. This post shows a handful of moments when we shook things up!

Make Your Month Full of Fun

We accepted the challenge to Make Our Month Full of Fun. Qualifying activities and experiences included family board game night, family visits, museum visits and some quieter moments close to home.

In the Spirit of the Season

On January 1, 2026December 28, 2025 By GeoKsIn Photography3 Comments

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase, "in the spirit of the season?" I think of family, traditions, good food and winter weather and I did my best to capture some of those ideas in five photographs for this month's edition of the Photo Blogging Challenge.

This month's Photo Blogging Challenge theme was a helpful nudge to lean into the things that bring you joy and make you smile, a small - but powerful - counterweight against the way so much of what's in the news these days fosters dread and frustration.

Sidewalks and Roads

For this edition of the Photo Blogging Challenge, I make the case that not all sidewalks and roads are paved paths.
