Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge; Favourite Things to do in the Spring


It's Wednesday yet again and it's time for a new Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge, courtesy of Long and Short Reviews. The theme of the week was favourite things to do in the spring.

Apart from obvious of reading books, I love to do some nature photography when things start to grow and/or get a bit greener. I have a Canon DSLR that I purchased way back in 2007, which I'm pretty happy to use. I sometimes also write seasonal bucket lists of what I want to accomplish/do that particular season, though I haven't written one for this spring yet. By the way, if you want some inspiration for a spring bucket list, feel free to check out this blog post from Uncustomary, which is a friend of mine. She has a really cool and colourful blog in general, so please check it out.

      Taking photos is so much fun and there's plenty of activities on the spring bucket list post.

    I wrote a little bit on my post this week about my graveyard photography hobby. My 14 year-old is becoming more of a nature photographer. He loves flowers. Last year, he took my camera and snapped a several very nice pictures of the few plants in our yard. And whenever we go for walks, he'll take photos along the way. https://shadowsofromance.blogspot.com/2020/03/tricias-favorite-things-to-do-in-spring.html

      I totally forgot how much fun it is to do graveyard photography. I kind of miss doing it.

    I'm not a photographer, but my husband is. I use a lot of his photos from our camping trips around my blog. Looking at them helps me to remember how much fun it is to be camping up there, and how peaceful and centered , at one with nature, that we feel when we're out there. Can't wait for this to pass, so we can plan some camping trips again.

I read the horror novel The Prettiest Girl in the Grave by Kristopher Triana earlier this year and today I'll post my review of the book.

Annoncing the 2023 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As it's 2023 in less than two months, I figured out it was time to annouce the 2023 Diversity Reading Challenge. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADHD and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors with chronic health issues Characters/authors in wheelchairs Characters/autho
