Today I spotted a great idea and year long project conceived by Alison at Writing Wishing and Greta at GFunkified.

They provide the prompts and we all take a photo or photos every Thursday for 2014.

I am going to use my ‘grown up’ camera for my Through the Lens Thursday posts, and by the end of the year I will be a photo taking genius! Ok, maybe not a total genius,  hopefully I will be taking better photos with an improved knowledge of my camera in all of it’s manual glory.

I am proud to say that I now use my camera on manual only and I have been for a few months, but some of those little numbers and letters still confuse my little brain.   I see more clarity in the brain department as well as the picture department by the end of the year!

This week’s prompt is ‘soft’ and I loved the soft light falling on the fresh snow this morning. All I did to this photo was crop it a little bit.  Such a little spindly apple treeling casting such a majestic shadow in the soft snow.

Are you starting any new projects this year?  I have to say, this one looks like it will be a winner!  Thanks Alison and Greta.  Next week’s prompt is ‘corner’, I wonder what I will find for that one?
