Since the forum has been gone from the Internet for a few days, I'm going to continue May 13's challenge into today, to ensure at least a full 24 hours. I will resume advancing the challenges tomorrow.

Tomorrow, on May 17, we will do 1-4. On May 18, we will do 1-5. On May 19, we will do 1-6, and so on.

Lol...two of your photos are ones that I should have posted since I live much closer to them. 14 and 41 I meant to post but I forgot and did 24-421 instead.
