Typically when I post these galleries, I am either doing it from the waiting area of my kids' swim classes, or, if it's my husband's turn to take them to swim, I do it from home.  Last week, it was my husband's turn to take them and it was a gorgeous day so I was posting from my screened in porch.  I felt very calm as the breeze blew through and the world felt fresh and hopeful.  Thus this week's challenge word was chosen.  I have been a big fan of the images posted this week. So many different approaches and all so perfect suited for the challenge.  You guys are doing such a great job week to week!  I love checking in!   So without further ado, here is this week's gallery for your calm approval:#irisheyescalmYou can click on any image to see additional descriptions if you'd like. If you participated and you don't see your image included, check your hashtags (#irisheyescalm most importantly), or, if you want to be included in the gallery, make sure your profile is public.  You don't HAVE to have a public profile to partake in the challenge, but you do have to have a public profile if you want the image to show up in the gallery. Be sure to check in on the Group Page to find out next week's challenge!
