Adventure means taking a different path. It can mean getting down on the ground for a really low angle shot, or photographing not the entire flower but a backlit petal.

Today’s Capture Your 365 Challenge is Backlit. I had a little struggle with this one as it’s not something I do very often. That was one of the reasons I decided to take on some of the prompts. For the challenge (and the fun of the challenge).

This week’s Daily Post photo challenge is Waiting. Now that my computer is working again (thank you, M the Younger!), I was able to go to my archives for a few photos to fit the theme.
