Yes, I was completely on vacation last week and KNEW I had a house on the beach to look forward to so I totally picked this week's challenge with my vacation in mind.  It's the first week I ever picked a challenge knowing what I personally had ahead of me.  It was still tough; I spent most of the week blissfully without my phone, and then whenever I did have it, the tide wasn't where I wanted it to be.  When it finally was, it was a little darker than I'd had liked but I still got my shots so I was happy with that.I've been noticing lately a drop in our weekly submissions.  I assumed that people were just living summer to its fullest (which I totally support) and not doing any extra tasks.  However, I've also seen a few #irisheyestide posts that aren't in the gallery --- I wonder if some of you made your accounts private again?  I know we have a lot of people who, since the beginning, play along but with private accounts so we never get to see their gorgeous work.  I just love that people ARE still doing these, even if not everyone can see them.  I'm glad to know it's still fun for so many of you.  I'm having a ball with these myself (even the hard ones).  So let's take a look, shall we?! #irisheyestideYou 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 (#irisheyestide 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!
