Last week I had the good fortune to participate in a couple of events that were not directly challenge related.  On Friday I went on a photowalk with a group of ladies from PhotograpHER to the Albany Bulb. The Bulb is a former landfill on a strip of wetlands in Albany, California. It is now home to a large collection of driftwood, metal and concrete sculptures and graffiti. Here are some photos from the day…

Then, yesterday, I attended the little girl next door’s recital.  She did very well and the children were very cute.  Here are just a few photos…

And now for a round-up of the challenges that I joined last week and the photos that I chose to submit–

The challenges have different themes and rules.  For some, the photo must be taken the week of the challenge, for others you can dig into your archives.  Some even have prizes.  Many of the sites have pages on Facebook.  Links are included to each challenge and the theme of the challenge is in the caption of each picture.  I think that other photographers enjoy learning about new challenges. You can share links to ones that you enjoy in the comments section so that we can all check them out.

Three of the Challenges this week had similar themes-Path, Trees and Trail. I have submitted this photo to other challenges, but I often return to it because I like the canopy of branches over the path and it’s Impressionist feel.  The three challenges were:
