The challenge was "summer".  It's so hot you could fry an egg on the sidewalk. 😁

 Elemental was the subject.  It would be earth, wind, fire or water.  I chose wind bending the grass.

 This week was "year Word" revisited.  My word was simplify.  So it's one bloom.  Hollyhock.

 Visual Rhythm was this week's challenge.  It is repetition of images to create a rhythm.  These are the posts for a corral system that is unused now. 

 This week's challenge was back light.  This is our cat, Rex, who likes to sit in the open window. 

 Didn't get last week's photo posted.  The challenge was initially inspired.  Using my initials, VL.  This is a very light feather. 

 Crazy Eights.  If two sides are covered with trees, does it still count as eight?
