The last batch!  Here are the final five photos from the 2015 30 Day Challenge.  It was a really interesting project to do at this point.  I've learned how much I rely on 'go to' shots that I know will work and that sometimes I really need to open my eyes and learn to see again.  I'd encourage anyone at any stage in their relationship with photography to give this a try.  Hold yourself to it and give it an honest effort.  You might surprise yourself ;)

The 5th group of photos from the 2015 30 Day Challenge.  Apparently vertical was the way to go for this batch!  I almost never shoot vertical, so I've been making a little bit more of an effort to actuall turn the camera :)

Installment four!  Interesting how this batch is all warmer and for the most part darker tones.  You never know how it's all going to play out once you get into it :)

These days are flying by.  I feel like sometimes I'm accomplishing what I'd hoped to - find my 'eye' again instead of relying on shooting what I know.  Sometimes I do see differently, sometimes I rely on what I know - especially if it's close to the end of the day and I haven't taken a decent shot yet.  But I'm aware of this, so hopefully I'll be more mindful of it and work on it more going forward.  Definitely and interesting exercise :)
