Spring is officially here! Well, according to the calendar anyway.

For our 4th March challenge and continuing with our "Change" theme, this week think about something in your life that you want to change and take a photo of that.

It can be anything... from your hairstyle, to planting a garden, to rearranging a room in your home, to a new walking route... think about any change you'd like to make and start shooting!

Keep your uploaded photos straight-out-of-the-camera for this challenge.

DEFINITION of "straight-out-of-the-camera" or "SOOC": Photos that are taken straight from your camera to your computer to an upload. Resize them only. Don't crop. Don't adjust color or exposure or add styles/actions or borders. Nada. Nothing. Why? This gets you thinking about your shots a little bit more each time...

Post your photos in this Gallery.

And don't forget to join us on Wednesday night at 6pm MT for this month's Photo Focus Club chat!

What? It's a new week again already? I'm sorry I didn't come up with something for last week's challenge. I will think of both this week.

[ArizonaAngel]

Oh boy, my list of things I'd like to change is endless! Picking one will be my challenge. Let's see if I can stay caught up this week.

Changes I'd like to make. Hmmmm! That's a tough one, as I'm nearly perfect. Bwahahahahaha!

As you notice, I said nearly perfect.

Wow I am struggling to get creative with these the past 2 weeks so maybe when I am more awake I can get this done Very challenging but will get inspired

[Becca]

I apologize for being so quiet again this week. I haven't forgotten about you all - promise!

Don't forget our chat is tonight (Wednesday) at 6pm MT! I hope to see you there! Have your photos uploaded today and we can talk "CC" with one another!

[Reminiscing]

I wish I could join you at tonight's chat but I'll be talking photography with my local photography club. I'm bummed the two meetings are the same night!

[ArizonaAngel]

I was so excited to remember the chat. My DH even left work early so we could be home in time (we carpool). So I get home just in time, get into the chat room and notice that people are dropping out one by one until they are all gone. Then it dawns on me...Oh yeah, there is a time difference now. I wasn't on time, I was an hour late! Bummer for me! But funny don't you think?

Can anyone join in the club? I just found this thread a minute ago.

[SandiC.]

Josee, its open to all, just jump on in.

[Becca]

Josee, of course you're welcome to join us! It's open to anyone at anytime.

OK, I finally got on the ball and took my photo this morning. I cheated a little (or maybe I should say "I multi-tasked...") combined two weeks' challenges into one photo.

Trying to keep up so here is this week's photo. Something to Change TFL

[Bride]

I really had a tough time with this one. I know one thing I need to change is my haphazard lifestyle when it comes to eating healthy and exercising like I should. I could so relate with Becca's shoes!! So, I have been working out a plan on this topic for my life and I know that much of it has to do with my mental attitude - it all begins in my mind with my thought process. But how do you photograph a thought? How do you shoot a picture of your mind?? Then this morning while on the deck sipping coffee and eating a healthy lite breakfast it dawned on me how I could photograph a thought! I have a pillow that someone stitched for me with one of my favorite sayings - so this is what you get. :-) My Thoughts
