I have been participating in these challenges for a couple of months It gives me an opportunity to dig into my rather large snapshot archive and share a few images related to the weekly theme related to a letter of the alphabet.
This is the current theme announcement from Sheena.

Attention Alphabetters!
This is your reminder that Mon 27 Apr is the start of Week Q and the theme for the #AlphabetChallenge is Queens. Pics of real queens, places named after queens, any kind of queens. Be creative and cut me some slack-it’s Q😂"
I just got to thinking that this blog would provide an extra outlet for the digging I do to find my images for the challenge. When I remember and if the theme resonates with me, I'll also add my weekly pics here. Some weeks there will be slim pickings when my creativity is similarly slim.
Here goes with a few #WeekQforQueens images from this week's challenge.
