Interrupting the silence


December is the month for "december views" and I hope you have been enjoying my daily photographs. I wanted to interrupt the silence to share with you information about a challenge (I love challenges!) for 2010. 52 Books in 52 Weeks. That is the name of the challenge and there is a blog where you can sign up. Here are the rules:

The challenge will run from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
Participants may join at any time.
All forms of books are acceptable including e-books, audio books, etc.
Re-reads are acceptable as long as they are read after January 1, 2010.
Books may overlap other challenges.

This will be a challenge for me, even though I love reading, I am not a fast reader. Unless a book grabs my attention, I tend to loose focus and can take a lot longer than 1 week to finish that book. I also have difficulty sometimes with the language. English is not my maternal tongue, French is, so sometimes that slows me down! But I am determined to try. I am going to plan my books one month at a time and will share my January list before January 1, 2010.

If you enjoy reading, you might be interested in joining the challenge. Please visit the blog 52 Books in 52 Weeks to find out more.

december views no.1


december is here...new challenge!


I read about "December Views 2009" over at Hippy Urban Girl and thought it was perfect. I love taking photos of anything and everything, and don't like writing much on this blog, so this challenge should be great.
There are no rules for this challenge. You can blog daily with just photographs, no words, no explanations. As Hippy Urban Girl explains on her blog : "A no rules vow of silence because there are enough rules in life and I didn’t want to add anymore to the mix especially during the busy holiday season".

I haven't been the best at keeping up with my shared blog at An Ocean Apart lately, so hopefully this will help a little, reminding me to grab my camera and share snapshots of my days.
Let me know if you are joining in to the challenge too, I would love to see your photos!
Hope you enjoy seeing my december views.
