☀Sunlit Sunday Link-Up: Season 4, Week 1



Welcome to the first week of ☀Sunlit Sunday, Season 4. The idea for this gathering came from wanting to have a spot where people could share the "sunny" side of winter. Every season has its own beauty and this one is no exception.




If you're a blogger, you're welcome to join in and link a post each weekend from now through March. The guidelines are explained in detail below. In short, we don't gripe about the season here, we celebrate it. Of course, if it isn't winter in your hemisphere, you are still welcome to participate and share your own season. If you don't have a blog of your own, I hope you'll still come by and enjoy the posts linked each week.


Should the skies be grey, there's no need to worry. Your post could feature something that shows the sunny side of life and brings a smile to your face. That covers a host of possibilities!


Keep your eyes peeled and let's have some fun with this.




Cameo, my current foster cat, has a knack for seeking out life's bright spots. Let's see if the rest of can as well.

Whether you've joined in before or this is your first time, I'm glad you're here at ☀Sunlit Sunday.

Let's get things rolling!

    What a super idea! I actually really love winter, the cold air and if we are lucky blue skies really energize me. It's always good to look on the sunny side of life!

    You captured some lovely sunny photos. I'm glad I did my photos on Friday when the sun was out as today, like the rest of Ontario, we are having a snowy/rainy storm.

    Wonderful Pictures and a again a very lovely cat, similiar to Claire...
    (my own cat now slowly recovering from her severe injury, it will take some time and there were quite a lot of worry since Christmas day and we haven't celebrated no one holiday - )
    I'm glad to join again in Sunlit Sunday
    Happy New Year

    Happy New Year, Karen!

    I'm so glad that Sunlit Sunday is up and running again, and in its fourth season, to boot! Your photos are wonderfully bright and beautiful. The sparkle of the sea is spectacularly refreshing, but that emerald eyed feline steals the show, once again, and from where I sit, the wall colour matches them exactly!

    Although I don't have anything to share today, I am looking forward to joining you next week, when I will have more time to go through photos of our excursions with Liberty. Until then, thanks so much for this lovely debut!

    Sunlit Sunday is a favourite for me too!
    I can't imagine how cold it must be - that ice is amazing.
    Cameo looks very contented sunning herself - what a lucky cat to have found you!

    Hi, Your photos are beautiful :)
    I have never done a link party . . . so I guess that means I'm still in the learning process of the blogging world.
    I love the topic "Sunlit Sundays" and the idea of sharing the beauty of winter. I love living in an area when we have four seasons. I enjoy each one and look forward to there coming and going each season. I am your newest follower and I would love to invite you over to my blog. I am celebrating my three year blogging birthday with a Give-A-Way so please pop in and say hello.
    Your new blogging sister,
    Connie :)
