Ann-Christine has set us a difficult challenge this week, difficult because there are too many magical choices. I can’t find the photo that came to mind first, but searching reminded me of a challenge I used to love: the Phoneography Challenge, hosted by Sally at Lens and Pens by Sally. Browsing that folder, I found more magical things to share than you want to see. But here are a few. This first is the photo from the now-defunct Weekly Photo Challenge that got the most likes ever on my blog.

But wait! There’re more.



And then for something that’s just plain fun…

Those are indeed some magical photos!
Thanks very much. 🤩. I’m pleased you agree.

You certainly have aced the assignment. Wonderful photos. Magical, you might say!
Thanks very much, Judy. Great to hear from you. I hope you’ve been doing well.

GREAT photos. Love the dew drop.
Thanks so much, John. I love taking drop shots and this is one of my favorites. Appreciate the visit and comment.

Yes. I get some drop shots at the Botanic Gardens when I visit.
Beautiful set of photos for this theme, Janet!
Thanks, Amy. It was difficult to choose. 😊
wonderful selection.
Thanks, Klara. 😊

Great photos especially like the penguin
I had fun playing with the editing on that one. Glad you liked it (and all of them.)

A lovely set of magical! I love the first one!
That’s my “best seller”, Aletta, and taken with my iPhone. 😉
Fantastic!
Wonderful shots, especially the first one. How did you manage this?
I took it with my iPhone and with a very steady hand, I guess. The drop was on bud on a low tree branch right in front of our house. I must admit I was thrilled with how well it turned out. 🥰

Extraordinary shot indeed. Turned out beautifully.
Thanks, Indira.
Definitely magical Janet. Lovely collection.
Thanks, Su!! It was hard to decide what to include, which is a good problem to have.
Beautiful Janet! 🙂
Thanks, Nicole.
Great selections for Magical, Janet! I LOVE your first image!
Thanks very much, Deborah. It’s one of my favorite images.
Wow, Janet. I love your response. I’m especially taken with your first shot. It is indeed magical!
Not bad for an iPhone, right? 😉. Thanks, Patti.
They are amazing….far more powerful than my old SLR!
They are all magical in their own way, Janet! That droplet I do remember – it is perfectly wonderful.
Thanks, A-C. I hate a hard time stopping with just these, but it was so much fun browsing through that one file and finding photos I’d forgotten about.
I find I have forgotten about many photos these days…maybe best not look at them or I will feel I have to do something about them!
Ha! I understand that feeling. 😄
I love that water drop!
Thanks, Dan. I do, too, and have so many photos of water drops on plants. 🙂
Me too, but that one is stunning.
Thanks!
Oh my, that sunrise picture!
That was a magical morning.
What did that penguin tell you? Did he ask you for a fish? So cute!
I love the water drop, beautiful reflection, and I adore the sunwashed meadow. Lovely.
It was in a zoo, so the penguins didn’t tell me anything. They were behind glass. They are cute, though. I’m glad you enjoyed the rest of the photos, too.
