A note about these “roll call” threads: they started over a year ago, serendipitously when I asked who were the fountain pen people here.
Feel free to add a comment of your own, no matter how old or inactive the thread is. It’s always cool to have new people chime in.
May Photoblogging Challenge, Day 16: time (suggested by @rknightuk).
I love my morning walks with my neighbor dog Blondie. We would make better time if it weren’t for the sniff breaks, but we aren’t doing this to set speed records.
Previous Micro Monday roll calls. These threads are still open if you want to add your name to the list.
Micro Monday is a day to find new people to follow. Let’s do another roll call. Last time we did space. Let’s do a topic that shouldn’t be rocket science: note-taking. Reply here and let us know what tool(s) you love.
May Photoblogging Challenge, Day 15: clouds (suggested by @klandwehr).
A gray cloudy day but finally the sky cleared a bit so you could actually see clouds.
I do occasional dog-walking gigs as a hobby. I love dogs, I don’t have one of my own, and it gets me outdoors for some fresh air and exercise. Yesterday, I was bitten several times by my charge, a 9 month old pit bull mix. I’ve been walking him twice a week for a month now. He has a sweet disposition and a puppy-like sense of wonder that causes him to lose focus on walking. I don’t know why he decided he wanted to lunge and bark and tear at my clothing. It was terrifying. I never lost control of a dog before. I’ve always been able to get them to comply. I’ve never been bitten by a dog before either. I have canceled the dog walking gig for now. I’m sad and my confidence is shaken.
We are reaching the end of the second week of challenge prompts. I’ll generate the third week of prompts tomorrow.
We still need prompt ideas from 10 more people so we can feature someone new each day in May. Send 1-3 suggestions to jean@micro.blog. Thanks!
May Photoblogging Challenge, Day 11: maroon (suggested by @rom).
I snapped several trees and plants on my walk this morning, but my favorite photo had a little something extra. 😻
May Photoblogging Challenge, Day 10: pot (suggested by @warner).
I had no idea how huge the demand was for recreational marijuana until it was legalized here in 2015. The retail shops have sprouted up everywhere. Like weeds. 😏
May Photoblogging Challenge, Day 9: bloom (suggested by @thedimpause)
Soon.
May Photoblogging Challenge, Day 8: union (suggested by @odd)
My two favorite union organizers tie the knot.
May Photoblogging Challenge, Day 7: park (suggested by @dejus).
The view of Portland from Mt. Tabor, my neighborhood park.
I’ve updated my post May Photoblogging Challenge with the Week 2 prompts, starting with union on Day 8, suggested by @odd.
Follow @challenges, where we post the daily prompt and a reminder, plus links to the collection of challenge photos both in grid view and timeline view.
May Photoblogging Challenge, Day 6: silhouette (suggested by @otaviocc).
My neighbor and her little dog, on our daily morning walk.
We are reaching the end of the first week of challenge prompts and I’m going to generate the next week’s by tomorrow.
Thanks for all the suggestions! We still have open slots. Email 1-3 prompt ideas to jean@micro.blog
May Photoblogging Challenge, Day 5: Earth (suggested by @dfj).
Neighbor kid got this Lego set for his birthday. Cat not to scale.
May Photoblogging Challenge, Day 4: thorny (suggested by @ronguest).
The roses at my old house. I’m glad they’re not my responsibility anymore, but it’s hard to walk by without feeling a strong urge to trim them back. ✂️🌹
I’m very impressed with the contributions during the first three days of the photoblogging challenge. The prompts have been, well, challenging. Day 4 (thorny) should be interesting.
May Photoblogging Challenge, Day 3: experimental (suggested by Andrew/@canion)
Experimenting with Portrait mode and iOS editing tools I rarely use.
This is a very fun Micro Camp presentation by @sod. Accessible Microblogging: A Crash Course (YouTube).
Learn how to add ALT text to your photos and screenshots on Micro.blog! It makes a difference. ❤️
May Photoblogging Challenge, Day 2: photo (suggested by @agilelisa)
My sister Judy and me. We both went to Catholic school, but I think her class must have had school pictures that day. (She is still way more fashionable than me.)
Micro Monday is a day to find new people to follow. Let’s do another roll call. From last week’s down-to-earth topic (gardening), let’s go celestial: who likes space and astronomy? 🚀
Leave a comment on this thread so other like-minded folks can find and follow your microblog!
The prompt order is selected randomly for the photo challenge. I thought @agilelisa’s suggestion photo was clever and could produce intriguing results. I didn’t foresee the trickiness of curating. Not every photo is a challenge photo. Or is it? 🤔
I think there are 63 switches so far on Day 1 of the photo challenge. That might be a record. Day 2 photos are starting to come in.
Just a reminder that the special timelines are curated manually. We update them in batches. Sometimes we miss a contribution–just let me know!
