To give fans, readers and other homesteaders the opportunity to share their photos and recipes, several new photo days are being started. These photo days will begin in September 2011. The program that will be used to share your photo links is Mister Linky.

Please pass the word on and help make this a success. It is an ideal way to see what other people around the world are doing on their homestead and share your creative ideas, garden photos, favorite pet photos, favorite recipes for meals or food preservation or handmade craft ideas.

Here are the various photo days and the links. I hope to see your photos posted. I also welcome your comments.

Cute Animals Photo Day – the 2nd day of every month

Homestead Projects Photo Day – the 6th day of every month

Handmade Crafts Photo Day – the 10th day of every month

Favorite Homemade Meals Photo Day – the 18th day of every month

Gardens Around The World Photo Day – the 22nd day of every month

Food Preservation Photo Day – the 26th day of every month

If you know of other photo days around the ‘net that relate to any of these topics, please feel free to share them with the readers here.
