356-Day Photo Challenge Set Back

Some of you may or may not be wondering what happened to my 365 day photo challenge. And I thought that I at least owed an explanation.

My computer has been having some problems starting a little over a month ago. It's a brand new computer, so I don't know why, all I know is that it started turning off randomly. And then one time after one of these random turn offs, it wouldn't come back on. Nope, it wouldn't start up at all. And since I didn't know how to fix it, I held onto it for 3 weeks until Eric and I took another trip down to Utah so my dad could take a look at it. He's brilliant on all things computers, and saves me whenever I have any troubles... But he's so far away that it took a while for my computer to be all fixed up.



The above two pictures were taken during two of it's episodes. The last one where it said "Shutting down" for over a half our, and then it wouldn't start up again.

Anyways, so as far as the 365 day photo challenge, I tried to keep up with my pictures, and i did for maybe 2 weeks after my computer stopped working. But then I felt hopelessly behind. And that habit slowly tapered off when I couldn't load any pictures to my computer. Then I had another setback when I needed to give my dad his camera card back and I wasn't able to take the pictures off of it. So, after 2 weeks of faithfully taking pictures after the computer died, that slowed down and I had gaps in my days, and then a big chunk of pictures are gone now that I had to give the card back.

But, after one last trip to Utah Easter weekend, my computer is back up and running. Now, I'm thinking I'll try starting over. Tomorrow is the first of May. Maybe that would be a good new beginning to my challenge?

Just thought I would let you know I've called it quits (if you hadn't guessed already). After my computer crashing twice, then moving and not having the internet for 3 weeks, and now we're moving again, plus a full time job and 2 side ones going on right now, I'm hopelessly behind for this one. I'm taking pictures, but not as routinely as I need to for this challenge. Hopefully after everything has settled down, and maybe after I find a good reason to start it up, I will join in again.

It was fun while it lasted. But I will be back for another round :)
