I&#8217;m kind of hoping I&#8217;m not the only one who did this for the month. It&#8217;s hard to have a month-long challenge because people might forget about it.<\/p>\n<p>Alas, I&#8217;ve done what I could.<\/p>\n<p>Let me remind people of the basic premise of this challenge. The idea is to take photos throughout the month and have a blog post with your five favorites. The post can be in-depth or pretty simple. But one needs just five photos.<\/p>\n<p>This month&#8217;s theme was &#8220;My World.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This theme definitely left some room for interpretation. The way I went about it was basically taking five photos from the month that showed something about me. At least I hope these shots did. They are in no particular order, but here are the five.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, without further adieu.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Old tennis ball<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I find odd things to take photos of, which is part of my world. I see things differently. And I like that. It makes it kind of fun. That&#8217;s why as I was leaving a park earlier this month, this caught my eye. I spent probably 15-20 minutes shooting this. And I really like how this one came out. My world is quirky when I have a camera in hand.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hoohaaphotos\/8604687243\/in\/photostream\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8262\/8604687243_47354e8b31.jpg?resize=500%2C334\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wintered tennis ball.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>2.

Disc golf<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I love disc golf. I run another blog which is all disc golf. So I knew I needed a shot for that. This one was via the iPhone, but I like it. The bottom disc is the site I own. The other is a wood disc we were trying for a future review. It&#8217;s a great game.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hoohaaphotos\/8560117054\/in\/photostream\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8227\/8560117054_3d9a497c80.jpg?resize=500%2C500\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Out throwing.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>5.
