Here’s my entry for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Hot and/or Cold. I chose two photos for this challenge that, in my eyes, combine the concepts of hot and cold. This is Lake Ontario in late spring, when the last of the snow banks are finally melting and SUNY Oswego students are rejoicing because [for the most part] they don’t have to worry about snow or whiteouts anymore until next winter, and the temperatures are a generous amount above zero for the first time since November. So, maybe think of Katy Perry’s, “Hot N Cold” when you think of Oswego. 😀

Tuesday Photo Challenge: Old

Here is my entry for this week’s Tuesday Photo Challenge: Old. I picked this photo because the building on the right (Hewitt Hall/Union) is a gorgeous building at Oswego that is among the older ones on campus. It also used to be the student union (home to almost all of the student organizations on campus) before the Campus Center* was built in 2006 and became host to most student activities. This was one of my favorite buildings on campus.

 

*The Campus Center was renamed Marano Campus Center in 2014 due to a donation. However most students like myself who had already become set in their ways continued to call it the Campus Center.

Here is my entry for the 52 Weeks Photo Challenge: Week 36 – Simple Things. I decided to focus my entry on the beauty I have been discovering recently in things that a lot of people never think about (or look at.) Weeds! They are often right beneath our feet when we are walking on grass, and even though [some] might be pesky to gardeners, they really are quite gorgeous.

Here is my flower of the day for today! Lilacs blooming in my neighbor’s yard! Unfortunately these lilacs had wilted within a few days of this picture, but they were still beautiful to look at!

Here is my entry for this week’s One Word Photo Challenge with the theme of Frame. Two of these photos are ones that I love the actual framing of (the top photo of the sunset, which was taken with my iPhone, and the bottom photo which focuses on one of SUNY Oswego’s goalies.) The middle photo is both framed well, and actually encompasses an actual “frame” within the frame.

Here’s my stand-alone entry for this week’s edition of Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge. I love this photo, which is of an oddly placed cement block with a hole in the center on a path down to the shore of Lake Ontario.
