My challenge is my passion – a photo you have taken and a quote, attributed to its author, and of course related to your image. Every week on Sunday I will post a new prompt.
And…I will be sending a few of you a free copy of my book, Butterfly Thy Name, each week, in due course – when it’s finished!
Everyone’ s welcome to join! All you have to do is:
– create a post of your own with the title Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge – Beginning;
– include a link to this post also for others to find you.
Let your ideas flow and enjoy! Ese
Prompt 1 – BEGINNING
A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. /Lao Tzu/
Burgas Sand Festival, Bulgaria
Everything is still ahead…
Beginning…all the way down in Porto, Portugal

When I looked at the photo thinking about this challenge, it crossed my mind that no matter on which end of the stairs I would be, it would still be beginning. And the end. 2 in 1. Though I went for beginning 🙂
Thank you for participating in EWSQC, Drake.
