I’ve enjoyed doing the WordPress Photo Challenges over the years, but this week, with no explanation, they have decided to stop. The last photo challenge is to post your all time favorite photo.
Well that’s not going to happen. Even if I found the time to sort through thousands of images I’m fairly certain I don’t have an all time favorite.
Broken heart and tears.
So I’ll post an image I took yesterday. It represents my broken heart and feeling of loss.
Change Is Hard

I’ve enjoyed viewing your lovely photographs, and will be sorry to see the end of the WordPress Photo Challenge. I hope you’ll keep sharing your own, here on your blog!

Thank you. Yes, I almost always have some sort of photo in a blog post. Funny. When I started this blog back in 2008 it was all written. Then I figured out how to insert a photo and now it’s almost all about the photos and not so much about the writing. I need to find a balance.

Perfect! You chose well. I love bleeding hearts but have never tried to grow one.

I wonder if it would grow down where you are. I know when it gets really hot at the middle to end of summer the foliage of the bleeding heart dies away to nothing. So if you’re much warmer than us it might not work. Do they sell them in your nurseries? There are two basic kinds. One has the kind of flowers you see here. The other has many more flowers, but they are each smaller.

There are native bleeding hearts on the west coast as well, and they’re also shade-and-moisture-loving. (Tried to photograph some natives in Oregon the other day but too small and too much effort to get to them, sigh. But lovely.) I had the CA natives in my garden in San Jose, which gets very hot, but in a generally shady but brightish, so it was usually much cooler than the air, and well mulched area, and it did fine.

Oh Katie won’t be kept silent. For sure. She’s already making noises about needing some blog post time.

Very sad news. But, yes, I know that I can count on you to continue doing amazing photos. You know, if you wanted to invent your own daily or weekly challenge, you could just work your way down a list like this one: https://photographyicon.com/photography-themes/

Thank you! This is an amazing list! I like when the prompt is ambiguous and I can stretch with something to meet the challenge in a creative way. This is a great list!

I sometimes pull from it for our photo club’s monthly theme, too. 🙂

I have done a few of the challenges through the years. Maybe they figured since so many people do the different challenges on their blogs it was no longer needed.

Maybe. Maybe they just got tired of coming up with something. 😦

I know. Now I’m feeling extra sad at the ones I didn’t get around to. But see in comments above Ellen has provided a list……maybe I can work through that…would be 300+ weeks. 🙂

I liked the different interpretations of the the same challenge. But at least my heart is not broken and I am in tears, but still very sad!!
