Welcome Alphabet Walk Blog Hoppers

Welcome Alphabet Walk Blog Hoppers! If you haven’t heard of the Alphabet Walk Blog Hop, visit Piper’s blog,  One Sydney Road, for all the details. Pretty easy concept-get your camera out and take photos of what represents the letter you chose. My letter is R and I had so much fun hunting for this letter in everyday objects. It was a bit challenging at first but I made a game out of it with my family visiting from out of town.  So as they were sightseeing around town, they had to find the letter R.  My 12 year old niece actually took a few of these.

    Took me awhile…gee I must be tired, I was thinking, “flag pole,” how that begin with “R?” Time to get my coffee! I’m putting you on my “Daily Reads” blog roll, just so ya know! :)

    Now that, my friend, was awesome! Of course, I had to look for the “R” in each picture and then go back and pay closer attention to the actual photo–which, by the way, I LOVE the first one!

  9. My photography class did this with our names when I was in college. It was so challenging, but tons of fun! I still find letters in things when I’m walking around. Occasionally, some of us students send letter pictures to our professor :)
