The Staircase on Pine Street is a story that will touch your heart with its tenderness, humor, sensitivity and page-turning narrative. I have crafted a beautiful story of family love to share with readers of all ages. Ten-year-old Lilly has to learn to live with her grandfather’s diagnose of Alzheimer’s disease.

I got some new camera kit for Christmas – more about that soon. I love photography, but I forget that I like taking great photos and just end up taking everyday photos. So, I thought a challenge was in order. I looked online for a challenge, but couldn’t find one that was going to start this year, and that I was happy with. Everyone was doing daily challenges, or a challenge with a photo a day for a month, or challenges with boring (or overly simple) topics.

In the end, I decided to come up with my very own 52 weeks of photos challenges. Why not? I didn’t use topics or ideas that I already had photos to match, but just looked around for random ideas that I liked.

Here’s the challenge – I am going to take a photo a week for 52 weeks, thinking about the topics below…

Feng Shui is a Chinese philosophical system for harmonizing everyone with their environment using color and the elements of water, wood, earth, and metal. The idea of Feng Shui is to surround yourself with beautiful art decor designed to optimize your state of mind and bring positive energy into your home and office. One of the simplest ways to introduce Feng Shui color and elements into your living and work space is by decorating with Feng Shui artwork.

Feng Shui art is a niche market that incorporates a wide variety of artwork styles and subject matter. Feng Shui artwork can be photographic prints, tapestries and wall hangings, fine art prints, paintings and sculptural artworks.

According to the Feng Shui experts at Explosion Luck, “Our special Feng Shui art collection of ready-to-hang landscape paintings, bird art, mountain paintings, portrait paintings, sandart, water paintings, western art paintings, wildlife paintings, horse paintings, equine photos…
