Week 23 - Vision: No Peeking [Shoot as if you were using a film camera. Don't look at photographs until they are downloaded on your computer]. This week's challenge was about a bit of skill and a bit of luck, about letting go and rolling with it -- like water off a duck's back!

June 2, 2018 (153/365)

To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter, to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life."  - John Burroughs
