Alphabet February Starts in 2 Days Time!

[Caitlin B]

Hello!!

Alphabet February starts in 2 days time and Id love for you to join us!

28 days in February so:
- one photo for every letter of the alphabet
- two wild cards days!

Photos could either be of the letter, something beginning with the letter, a technique that starts with a letter (e.g. black and white)!

Come and join and tag with alphabet-feb !

Lets have a bit of fun!

Post photos/discussion in this thread too :)

@lovemy3littles Thanks! I used the same lens, though mine is on a Rebel 2Ti. The 40mm and the newer 24mm f/2.8 are pretty much the only lenses I ever use at this point - I'm loving the 24mm for indoors shots of more than one kid. :)
