Last week...

I have been playing the Fat Mum Slim Photo-a-Day game on Instagram for some time now and I love it. My love of photography is part of this and, while I really enjoy it ,I don't profess to be a 'real photographer'. Many of my pictures are taken with my phone and often my DSLR camera is on auto! It's about seeing things around me and the process rather than the mastery for me.

Another part of the enjoyment of this 'game' is that no matter what  my day is like, I have a reason to take time to look at my family, home, work or life in general a little differently. I consciously appreciate the beautiful and the interesting around me.

Last week the FMS prompts were colours and I set myself an extra challenge to find something to photograph that is part of my outback mining town home to share...

 While I love to go and explore new and beautiful places, my place is beautiful too, don't you think?

Grateful...for those little reminders

I have been following Fat Mum Slim's Photo a Day Challenge for twelve months now and it has been fun. I love taking photos and I find it sometimes helps to remind me to enjoy the everyday things in life, those little things that happen around me all the time.

Today's prompt was a hard one for me. 'What you do for fun'.. I was really stuck! Do I have fun? What is it that I call fun? Surely there is something I find fun....?

I am grateful for this little reminder that I do have fun and I often have fun every day! After much deliberation this is what I shared



Day 23. what I do for fun | making, reading, on line shopping,
spending time with my family

What do you do for fun?

Once again I am joining in with 52 weeks of grateful on Village Voices
