Good, Random, Fun ~ Week 2




the GOOD
In 2016 I'm attempting to do #52weeksofstorytelling with a different theme each week.
Week 1/52 - Motivation
These two girls are my motivation for almost everything I do. They make me want to be a better mother, wife, friend, teacher, advocate and more. They motivate me to learn new things and keep my body healthy.






the RANDOM
You know I love to spend time outdoors



ice in my garden and special moments with my oldest girl






the FUN
I'm also attempting a 365 (photo a day) challenge on instagram. 
So this collage is a collection of photos based on certain prompts.
wooden, hello, open
craft, fenced in, faceless fun, intricate





Also fun, I got a new phone and a new macro lens attachment for it. It has 3 different macro settings, so I thought it would be fun to take photos with each setting to see the difference.

TL - no macro lens / TR - 7x / BL - 14x / BR - 21x
 I have a feeling I will prefer the 14x setting and use it the most.





I'm linking up with Good, Random, Fun and Life Through the Lens

  2. WOW! Those macros are stunning, what phone/lens? My iphone is on its last leg, totally getting the new iphone so am thinking of a lens attachment!

    1. I just got an iphone 6s and the olloclip macro pro lens. Before I had the iphone 5 and used an olloclip 4 in 1. I loved the 4 in 1, but really only used the two macro lens settings (it also has a fisheye and wide angle), so I decided to go strictly with a macro lens this time - and the macro pro has 3 different macro settings (which I showed in the grid)

  4. How do you find out about these Instagram daily/monthly/etc. photo prompts? I'd love to do one but can never find the original thread. Thanks!! :)

    1. Usually from people I follow...the 365_today one gives a daily prompt, and they give them a week at a time. So on Saturday or Sunday the list for the next week comes out.

      I also follow @itsmyweek and @sunnypicchallenge which give weekly prompts - usually they announce the theme on Saturday or Sunday.

      Other daily prompts I've done in the past were @fmsphotoaday, @my_365 and @hiyapapayaphoto a day. Hiya announces all the prompts for the month toward the end of the previous month. I can't remember how the other 2 announce.

  5. Fifty-two weeks of storytelling?! Wow, I applaud your ambition! As always, love your collages. The second one is beautiful but the lacy leaf macro shots is amazing. #LTTL

  6. The 6s will most-likely be my upgrade this year... yep, back to the old iPhone. Since I am completely Apple now I really want the cross platform usage, plus I miss my iPhone Apps for photography. Love those macro shots, well done.
