february photo a day challenge

By far, one of the funnest things I've done lately is take up the Photo a Day Challenge, created by Sydney blogger Fat Mum Slim. I first heard about it mid-January, and decided if she did it again, I'd be there with bells on... As it seems over 800,000 other Instagram users did too! Anyhow, here are my pics for the month of February - for those on Facebook, they're also on my 'Whimsical Dale' page as well, and you can also follow me on Instagram with the username 'whimsicaldale'.

Day 26: Night // Dusk on the Sunshine Coast

And there you have it! It only occured to me today though that for the whole month there were NO pictures of cupcakes, despite me making a few batches. You can see the beginnings of some birthday cupcakes on Day 5, and the aftermath of frosting on Day 19, but none of the completed results. Next post for sure!

Bring on March!
