SPOILER ALERT: Surprise coming tomorrow!

I went back and forth trying to decide if I really wanted to do this. After looking back at my blog over the past year(ish) and reading the comments, I decided that as challenging as it may be, it's totally worth it.

So what am I doing?

Well, starting tomorrow, August 1, I am bringing back... (drum roll, por favor)... Thirty-One Days of Photos!

If you didn't follow my blog during December 2011, you can check out my previous Thirty-One Days of Photos, starting with day one. It's basically a "photo challenge" I give myself in which I must take one unique photo per day, then post it here. (Be warned, sometimes I was a little late posting my photo, but I never forgot to take at least one picture per day.)

This time around, to differentiate between December's challenge and August's, I'll be calling it "31 Days Captured" (as much as I hate starting a title with numerals, technically in a headline it's correct). I'm hoping to use my real camera for more of this challenge, but based on how last time went, be prepared to see lots of smartphone pictures. (And probably some with Instagram edits, because as we all know, I'm obsessed!)

I'm also excited to see how the seasonal differences affect this challenge. Last time there were lots of coats, Christmas-themed pictures and mostly indoor photos. This time... well, we shall see!

So, if you liked Thirty-One Days of Photos the first time around, pretty please come check out my photos this time! If you didn't follow the first time, I would LOVE it if you would this time! And as always, please feel free to comment. Feedback is one of the best parts of this adventure! I will be posting links on my Facebook page as soon as a new post is up. If however, you want updates sent to your email, I have a lovely new feature in the right column called "Follow by Email." Just enter your address and soon you'll be getting a picture a day in your inbox!

Thanks for reading and I look forward to embarking on "31 Days Captured" with you! :)
