NATURE'S BEAUTY - DAY 1

We're having a little shake up in our routine this week and decided to have a project week! 5 days, 5 prompts but all with one common theme - 'Nature's Beauty'.

There's no end of inspiration at this time of year. You can step out into your garden, local park, beach, field, mountains. Snap the flowers, trees, landscape, people, animals.

We will be giving you all 5 of this weeks prompts today, so you can have a little time to prepare. Please link your contribution (directly please to the photo not simply to your blog) as at the end of the week we will be producing a gallery of images to be posted here on HSMSHS of all contributions. By linking your photo in the comments section you give approval for us to post the photo on this blog.

So, Here's a brief outline of the project .....
