FMS Photo A Day - November



Playing catch-up!

Since I failed to post my FMS photos here on the day I should have, I'm going to post them now, and then start posting them daily tomorrow.  Daily meaning - when I actually take one.  I won't be participating every day.



Day 1 - Something Blue

Fat Mum Slim's Photo A Day Challenges




I heard about this group a couple years back, and was intrigued. So I did it for awhile, loved it, but then stopped. Then joined another photo group, loved it, but then stopped. I'm thinking it might be fun to do this again.

ACK! Where did that woman run off to?!




I'm so tardy with this and I'm so sorry!!

Some of you have written to ask if I've stopped writing here at Meanderings and Muses.  I have not.  It would seem so, I know.  I didn't intentionally decide to take a break - its just kinda happened.  But it is a temporary lull, believe me.

I'm working on my novel, and in the meantime I'm also having fun with the photo challenges set up at the Fat Mum Slim blog.  I hope you've been enjoying the pictures I've been posting. 

If you enjoy photography, I encourage to play along.  The prompts she's come up with for daily challenges can be quite - - -  challenging.   She has set next month's prompts and you can find them at her site

And I had decided last year to not have quite as many guests, so really - we're just doing things a little bit differently.

But we still have loads of guests on the schedule, as you can see in the sidebar, so please don't give up on us.

Meanderings and Muses is still here and I will always have lots to say.  As soon as I find the time to say it all!  Some of it you might want to thank your lucky stars you're not hearing, actually.   I'm going to try very hard to keep my politics off here between now and November.  But, boy howdy, it's a very hard thing for me to do. 

As far as how the novel is coming, well - it's done. 

(squeeeeee!!)


But not really.

We're going through the first round of edits, which is making it a much better book. 

Amazingly enough - even after having read it over and over and over, I'm still in love with it.  

(insert one more very loud "squeeeee!" )

So, stay tuned for updates.  And keep your fingers crossed for me, please.

There's still a lot of work to be done.

In the meantime, I'm trying to live by these rules.  Well.  Some of 'em.  I'm not pulling many weeds.

Photo a Day Challenge - Day 10

The topic of the day

is

"Loud"






This is Laffing Sal of Ocean City, MD, and I took this picture a couple years ago. Sal used to live on The Boardwalk but because dumbasses kept doing things to hurt her, she moved into the wonderful little Ocean City Museum. We go visit her whenever we go home. And you can still hear her laugh! Which is THE most infectous laughter ever, I promise. (and loud!) You can go to this link to read about her. It includes a click through to hear her laugh. http://www.ochh.net/laffing-sal.html

The March Photo A Day Challenge

I recently discovered a fun blog through Facebook. Some of you who are photography fans might find this to be a fun thing also.

The blog is Fat Mum Slim, living, loving, everything, and each month there's a "photo a day challenge." 

I have not participated yet, but I have been following and I have enjoyed the photographs I've seen immensely!  The different perspectives I've seen from one topic have been wonderfully diverse.

I've decided to join the March challenge which begins tomorrow  -   Here's how to play:

♥ Starting on March 1st take a photo each day with inspiration from the prompt. For example prompt 1 is 'up', so take a photo looking up. Or of the word 'up'. Or something that lifts your mood 'up'. It it totally up to you how you want to interpret it.

♥ Once you've taken your photo you can share it on Instagram, Facebook {on your own profile or business page}, Twitter, Flickr, your blog, Pinterest, Tumblr or even just keep them in a folder on your desktop. If you're sharing on Twitter or Instagram add the hashtag #Marchphotoaday so others can find your photos too.

Here's the list of daily challenges:




HAVE FUN!!
