I found a photo challenge on this site here called the 26 Things Challenge. Each participant is to take a picture for each letter of the alphabet. I found this challenge an excellent way to revisit photos I have taken over the last year.
A is for apples from Sherman Creek Orchard up the road. 
B is for the beach at Priest Lake.
C is for my church on Lake Ellen Road. 
D is for dog... this time Shelby our Australian Cattle Dog.
E is for evening on Highway 395 by Kettle Falls.
F is for flowers that always make a colorful bouquet. 
G is for greenhouse which keeps our plants blooming through the winter. 
H is for hydrangea and in this case an oak leaf with its leaf color changed for the fall. 
I is for iris, a vivid memory from late spring. 
J is for Jack Frost who hit our garden vegetables a few weeks ago .
K is for Kit and you can find him just about anywhere around the house.
L is for lily that filled the air with beauty and fragrance throughout the summer. 
M is for morning glory, which illuminated the garden with its vivid blue hue.
N is for nieces as they posed at Grand Coulee Dam is August.
O is for orchard that grows many varieties of fruit close to home.
P is for the Palouse during the harvest when the combine dusted the highway.
Q is for quiet, which is why we enjoy the hike around Swan Lake in the spring.
R is for rainbow, which appeared over Lake Roosevelt east of our house.
S is for Sullivan Lake with views that always provide many photo ops on a road trip over Tiger Highway.
T is for Tiger Store, an interesting historic place we stopped on our road trip a few weeks ago.
U is for Uniontown, Washington where I stopped to visit this Artisan Barn on a trip home in June.
V is for vine and in this case the strong ones that hold grapes.
W is for winter, that has a tranquil beauty all its own.
X is for an "xtreme" sunrise I caught at Lake Chelan in April.
Y is for yellow sunflowers that brightened up the cutting garden late in the summer.
Z is for Z2, my niece that taught me a few lessons on photography as we went on a photo trip in July.
