Leap Into Spring Photo Challenge: Finale Giveaway
May 11th, 2012
Here we are in the final week of the Leap Into Spring! Photo Challenge and I’ve got to be honest, it’s a little bittersweet. My co-hosts – Rebecca of Bumbles & Light and Alicia of Project Alicia – and I work year-round to make our seasonal photography challenges fun, inspiring and rewarding.
In addition to sharing a few snippets of our lives through photos each week in the Leap Into Spring! Photo Challenge, we shared a few photography tips as well:
You showed up, inspired us with your beautiful photos and joined our growing community of photographers. We’re so grateful to you for your continued support. And to thank you, we’ve got an amazing assortment of prizes for the taking. See rules and prizes below.
…………………….
Summer is fast approaching.
Warmer temperatures are on the horizon.
Lazy days in the sun are beckoning.
And new adventures are waiting to be lived.
We’ve got a sweet, laid-back and fun summer photography challenge in the works and can’t wait to unveil it sometime in the near future. (You’ll want to stay up-to-date so don’t forget to subscribe to receive email updates!)
But for now, I’m bidding adieu to spring with a few of my favorite images captured during the Leap Into Spring! Photo Challenge…
Capturing the beauty of small town Missouri as the sun drifts westward across the plains.

Gorgeous little blossoms and bountiful trees. Spring is in full bloom.
Soul soothing rain and a bittersweet, magical moment.
Sunshine, grass and a sweet little turtle found along the back roads of small town Missouri. Not to mention, a free photo collage template.
