Leap Into Spring Challenge | Sunshine/Light

Filed Under: Photography

I just love these season challenges that Alicia, Kristi, and Rebecca host. They are so fun and encourage me to pick up my DSLR. This first one follows the theme perfectly. The rest have light in them but it isn’t the prominent part of the photo.

You all know that I am in love with doing these so I shared a few of my favorite photos I have taking this Spring.

spring photography challenge, kristi live and love out loud photo challenge, project alicia photo challenge, bumbles and light photo challenge,

My favorite photo this week. I took this on Sunday. I thought I had missed all the apple blossoms but found these at Kenny’s dads house. So gorgeous. 

linking up with: Give Me Your Best Shot, PhotoStory Friday, Fabulous Friday, Favorite Photo Friday,  Oh Snap!, Shoot.Edit.Submit.,Photo Friday, and Look Whooooo’s Snapping.
