Foto Flip Friday: Follow Your Dreams (The WINNERS!!!)
Yipeee! The results of June’s Foto Flip Friday “Follow Your Dreams” theme are IN!
And I must say, I was especially delighted with the wide variety of interpretations of “Follow Your Dreams”. Everything from discovering the first strawberry in your garden with your toddler, to getting your “kicks” on good ol’ Route 66, to ziplining in Mexico, to meandering the dusty roads of Africa from stem to stern.
Just goes to show that following your dreams needn’t require the grandiose fantasy of being a rock star, nor zooming perpetually ’round the world (though personally, I’ve spent a lifetime trying my darndest to do the latter!) But the truth is, each of us follows our “bliss” in amazingly different ways. And the important thing is – whatever your dream – just go after it with all your passion, to MAKE.IT.COME.TRUE.
That said, choosing my favorite pics for this month’s theme was a tough decision indeed. And while I’m eventually hoping to somehow add a reader “vote” component (if/when I can figure out the technos of how to half-way easily do that), I figure as this clearly isn’t some highfalutin National Geographic photo competition (with an African safari on the line), my own peculiar druthers as to which I like/feel fit the theme best will have to do.
All of which is to say, I’ve now pondered all the lovely entries and the WINNERS ARE…
(Uh, I think we need a bit of a drum roll here, yes?)

Well done Linda, Laura and James. Nice 🙂
I was hoping to get an entry from you, Graefyl – maybe July? Stay tuned, next Friday I’ll announce the new theme…
Okay Dyanne, I’ll come up with something. Got PC blues at moment trying to find a new one to use while home.
Thanks so much for picking my photo! I thought all the submissions were great, and I loved seeing (and reading about) each of them. What a fun idea — thanks for doing this, Dyanne! 🙂
Yes Laura, the entries are a remarkable assortment of “Follow Your Dreams”. Yours, truly touched on the essence of how our wildest “dream” can be as simple as living in the moment.
Oh!! How exciting to be one of your very First Foto Flip Friday winners!!
What an honour!
And great that we can also see enlarged versions of all the entries –
Thanks so much for putting this together Dyanne – Great fun 🙂
Yes Linda – congratulations!
I look forward to what folks come up with for the July FFF theme (tune in next Friday to find out what it is).
Great entries and winning photos! So many ways to follow a dream…
Yes Anita – and yours of that *breathtaking* climb up the side of El Castillo surely must have been a dream come true!
Be sure to tune in next Friday, as I have a new Foto Flip Friday up my sleeve… 😉
Wow, that would have been a hard decision on all the cool entries!! Really love the hand drawn map, very nice! Great winners, congrats to all of them and looking forward to next months FFF!
Yes Sue, all the entries were remarkable with a wide diversity of ways that folks are following their own personal dreams.
If you have any ideas for future Foto Flip Friday themes, do drop a note here.
Thanks for picking my photo… And am I the only guy who entered?
The thanks are mine, James – a great photo and a fine little story of “Following Your Dreams”.
Nope, you’re not the only guy who entered (e.g. Four Letter Nerd is a lad too), plus several of the entries are from couples who are following their own brand of bliss.
Thanks again for your fine entry. Do you have any ideas for future Foto Flip Friday themes?
