lens-artists-photo-challenge: #362-sports-sporting-events-and-fun-games

This week, I truly felt stretched to my limits. It’s not that I dislike sports—in fact, I appreciate the excitement and camaraderie they can bring—but I rarely attend live sporting events. I do enjoy watching football on TV with my hubby, where we cheer for our favorite teams from the comfort of our living room.

Despite not having many sports-related photos from those outings, I realized that Beth’s challenge allowed for a wider interpretation of the theme. With this in mind, I put on my thinking cap and explored creative ways to capture the essence of sports. I ventured into my digital archives and managed to find some images related to various sporting activities, including the thrill of a game, moments of teamwork, and the sheer joy of physical activity, showcasing how sports can positively influence our lives, even from afar.

A strolling along the shoreline, enjoying nature’s tranquility . Walking a great sport for all of us.

A colossal shoutout to Beth for tossing this challenge my way, proving I need to snap more pics of people in sporting gear, preferably while they’re actually playing! Also, a big ol’ “oops” to her for my not-so-stellar offering this week. . Beth’s inspirational post is like the golden ticket in reach for photos. When join on this fun run, just remember to tag Lens-Artists and give a link yours back to Beth’s original post!

Last week was as easy as it gets with all the doors we shared; each one was like a little world of its own that opened up fascinating stories and memories. I had so many surprises that it made the whole experience truly delightful.

Next week is Anne’s turn to lead us, Saturday 30th August. Until then, enjoy sports?
