Do you ever get in a place where you feel like you aren't capturing anything new and different with your photography? Ever feel like every photo you take is the exact same angle, often at the exact same sort of place? Well, this weekend I'm challenging you to try something new...go to a park you've never stopped at but have passed many times, maybe even take photos without a subject of something that inspires you. And when you are done, create a piece of art that the photos inspired.
Here's my photos...there is a farm a little over a mile from where we live that is advertised as an enchanted forest but we'd only ever seen the signs...but today we went in, and I am so so glad we did...we were in for a big treat that inspired me so much I didn't want to leave. Hello rainbow colors and fairytale magic!
Here are my photos...
I was so inspired I couldn't decide whether I'd rather go home and create or secretly move into one of these fun little homes...:)
So I can't wait to see what you find in your area...be creative! And don't forget to share them in our flickr group for a chance to get them posted here on the blog.
What a fabulously inspirational place-that wonky rainbow house is so cool! Fun challenge!

I don't blame you for wanting to move into one of those little wonky houses --- how cute! Love all the color. What a very cool place you discovered.
Not sure we'll have time for a park this weekend, but will take photos today at the rodeo -- the cowboy church's first youth rodeo.
Thanks for the inspiration, Cheryl.
