Lens-Artists Challenge #53 – Your Choice (7/6/2019)
Today is a very special day for us here at Lens-Artists – the one year anniversary of our Challenge. While we were all initially saddened by the discontinuation of the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge, for us it became an opportunity to expand our blogging horizons and to create some amazing new friendships.
“I am glad you are here with me.”

On our end, we have transitioned from four independent photography bloggers to a tightly-knit team that supports, encourages and helps each other as we develop and create our weekly challenges. We’ve also been fortunate to have expanded our follower base thanks to bloggers like you who support and inspire us.

“A good writer possesses not only his own spirit but also the spirit of his friends.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
As a result, our challenge has become near and dear to each of our hearts. We’ve gone well beyond being individual members of a team and become four good friends. We are tremendously thankful to you for your appreciation of our efforts; and for making us smile or feel touched by your responses. As our thank you for your support and encouragement, we’re suggesting that you respond to today’s challenge with any subject that’s near and dear to YOUR hearts, as we’ve done with our images today. If you’d prefer some guidance, choose any of the four subjects we’ve selected this week (Friendship, A country that’s special to you, Imagination, and Connection).

Each of us has included several captures that are special to us in some way. Mine are bridges from different part of the world. Through the bridge, Len Artists connects people in the blogosphere sharing photos, stories, and travels, anytime, anywhere. Through your lens we have learned about different cultures, places, and people a little better. Thus my theme for this special week is connection. I feel privileged to be part of the Lens Artist team. Thank you, Tina, Patti, and Ann-Christine, your friendship and support; it means a lot to me.
