Photo Challenge Gratitude
The theme for the December photo challenge is Gratitude!
December is a time for celebration but also for looking back and reflecting on the year that lies behind you. What are the things, people, and experiences you’re grateful for? Because there’s no better way to celebrate and reflect than to become aware of the beauty that accompanied you on your path through 2022.
One of the many things I’m grateful for is nature and the ability to capture the experience of nature with my camera.
To narrow it down, share the 2022 photos you’re most proud of, aka you’re most grateful for 🙂 Show us your love and appreciation for the past year in our December Photo Challenge!
Photography Playground’s photo challenge is all about enticing you to pick up your camera and share the beauty you’re creating.

So, to my surprise, only a few people submitted images for the December challenge. Not sure if it was the theme or if everyone was too busy with the festivities of December. Nevertheless, four people dove into the spirit of gratitude and these are their best photos. 🙏🙏🙏

“Grateful for the smallest bits of beauty. I didn’t even see the insect shadows when I took the picture. I was focused on the way the light was shining through.” – Lisa

“I took this photo while volunteering for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. This particular Harley Davidson was raffled off. The raffle made $61K for the foundation. I’m grateful that the money will be used for the education costs of children who lost a parent while either assigned to a special operations unit or a child of a Medal Of Honor recipient.” – Bill

“Grateful for our grandson who is a wonderful young lad. He was grateful for the ice cream sundae and that we let him play a game on his phone instead of having to talk to two boring old fogies “ – Heather
