Photo Blogging Challenge (May 2022): One hour

June 1, 2022

One hour.

60 minutes.

3,600 seconds.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is PBC2.jpg

A lot can happen in that amount of time. But what happens if you decide to capture an hour in five photos?

Just five photos?

This is one of those times where this challenge gets harder as I could easily go 10 or more photos for this one — as you will see below.

I’m sure most of you knew Harper would somehow be in this, yeah? She is. In fact, what I decided to do was to cover a morning walk. From beginning to end … it is less than an hour. But the end of it all, there’s one way to show how this all ends for Harper — on days when I am home anyway. This walk was taken at the local college, which is out for the summer. It’s a nice route and if done right, is a good two-mile walk where she can explore, sniff, climb some steps, jump on walls etc.

Hope you all have had a great month. It’s been interesting here. Some ups and downs. Had a few deaths in the family, finally no longer could avoid covid (as I write this, I’m isolated and hoping I can return when I’m supposed to … but we’ll see if I am symptom free) … and here’s hoping for a better June!

Here are my five for the month! Let’s see what you all have!

1. A dog’s life in the morning.

Carrying her pal. When we are out on walks, after Harper does her business, Gumby comes out and she’ll carry him usually for the rest of the walk. Unless, of course, she finds a stick or something.

2. On the wall

When Harper finds a stone wall, she likes to jump up and walk it. She has pretty good balance. She actually stopped and let me snap this photo!

3. Steps

Harper loves climbing and going down steps. So when we do the college walk, I make sure we go in areas where she can go up and go down etc. This is a large set and she loves going up the steps.

4. Up above

When we are at the upper sidewalk of the college walk, it’s a great view, You can see how impressed Harper is.

5. Snooze

If I am home … and am on the couch after the walk, this will often be the scene at hand. Walking takes a lot out of her!

BONUS

I can’t resist. This should have likely been the first photo, but… early in her walks, this is kind of a normal thing, too!

There’s my five and let’s see what you came up with! If you took part in this month’s challenge, make sure to link up below.

And for those of you who participated, make sure you try and get to other people’s blogs and comment (here, too!).

Let’s continue to grow this challenge and have a strong community. Come back and check out the others who link later on, too! NOTE: We have a Facebook group for those who participate in the challenge and are interested. I’ll post any announcements there and hopefully it can be a place where things are discussed and some interaction etc. You can access it here.

** CHALLENGE CHANGE **

From this point forward, I am going to do the next theme at the bottom of each linkup. Also, the posting date will now be the first of each month, thus giving you the entire month to take the photos etc.

That means it’s a one-stop shop! Hopefully this helps out with everybody.

So, below is the linkup for May. Make sure you drop your link there. The theme for June is Water. Remember to come back on July 1 to link up and check out the theme for that month!

    I am very sorry to hear about your losing several family members. On top of that you’ve caught the nasty virus. Here’s to feeling better soon!
    Good thing Harper is keeping you busy and entertained.
    Like every year I can’t wrap my head around about how early school is out in the U.S. We have six more weeks to go, and I know of a guy who’s pretty tired of going to class every day…

    The Link Tool is not ready until my bedtime, so for the time being here’s my link:

    That was a fantastic take on the prompt. Thanks for taking us on a walk with Harper. I love the Gumby lovey and the snooze photo is adorable.. I’m so sorry to hear about your family loss. I just got my second booster shot so I hope it helps lessen the severity if I end up getting the virus. X

    It’s always interesting to be reminded of just how differently peoples’ thought processes work. I never even considered taking all 5 photos within a one hour/sixty minute window. Although I have done shorter photo challenges or 1 square yard/meter challenges along those lines. I’ll bet the daily walks with Harper were disrupted once you caught COVID, which I’m sorry to hear about. We also ended up with a case of COVID in our home this month, but thanks to the room service I ran for a week, managed to contain it to just the once case.

    I’m so sorry to learn of the deaths in your family. May they rest in peace and may you find a path through your grief to healing and a new “normal.”

Self care is important. With work as stressful as Self care is important. With work as stressful as it usually is during this month, the little things can help you relax. I went this morning for a beard trim. It’s only 30-40 minutes, but it’s nice to have it done. A nice shaping, thinning it out a bit, a hot towel and a straight razor. 

Nice. 

In the world in which we live, little things like this can really be good for you. Maybe it’s a massage. Maybe it’s a therapy session. Maybe it’s a trip to the barber shop. But take care of yourself. It’s important. 

And if you are in my area and need a trim or whatever — check out Chris (@studio11chris ) at @studio11barbersuite in Oneonta. Well worth it!

The only one I truly am sad I missed buying was a limited edition one for the Asher House sometime last year. I waited and lost out. But, she has her collection and I am sure it will keep growing. There are ones she has outside as well!

Sunday was a day with some errands and such, but a Sunday was a day with some errands and such, but also a nice walk on the Vestal Rail Trail. Harper loved it, of course, especially because she got to also walk with her "Gram!"

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
