Far, Far, Away

I got to cross two more items of my bucket list (which by the way is a new page I put up), I saw three shooting stars while camping and then last night I found out that I had been picked as the winner for Mcdougall Photography's Fabulous Friday photo link-up.

Thank you very much for picking me as the winner!

I have a very busy day and so I don't have long to do this post or edit photos so I'll have to post more from camping later. But I wanted to enter {A Photo} Challenge before I forgot and it was too late. The theme for this week was "Something in the Distance". I figured I would get a good photo for that while camping what with the boats and birds and such, but I wanted it to be unique.


You know the binocular things where you put in a quarter and then you can look through? Well we went hiking on this National Wildlife Refuge island about 10 min. from where we were camping and they had those. I thought it would be cool if I could take a photo through them since I don't have a big zoom lens. It's not perfectly clear, but I really like how it turned out and I think it's perfect for something in the distance.

Also I finished my 30 Day Challenge while camping:
Day 29 {August 22}

Day 30 {August 23}

And since it's over I made a collage of all 30 Days:


And that means I've completed 1/12 of my 365 Challenge:
Day 30 {August 22}
Day 31 {August 23}
Day 32 {August 24}

And I'm sharing these photos in Sara's photo swap over at http://www.sweetlittlegals.com/
 

That's all for now - I hope to be able to edit and then post more photos tomorrow but we'll see :)
I have chores waiting for me so I better go,
