I am going back to compiling a selection of weekly photos rather than taking a photo a day. I found myself taking any old nonsense just to get a snap taken. Usually I do end up with a photo a day, but not always a share worthy one! So here is this week’s round up. I found an icy heart, clear reflections, made mince pies, it snowed, Mr.Y chatted to Santa and we built a snow fort. What will this week bring I wonder?
Into the second month of Project 365 now and I haven’t missed a day yet. Let’s hope I can keep it up. This week has seen my birthday, Thanksgiving and lots of sunshine! As usual, these photos are a mix of iPhone 4 and Canon Rebel cameras, and one from the Polaroid Construction Camera. 25/365 One of my new necklaces for CatsEatDogs, taken on the Canon. 26/365 A sign in a local antiques shop. Taken on the phone. 27/365 We made Christmas cake today and tradition states that everyone who stirs the batter gets to make a wish. Taken with Oggl on the phone. 28/365 Instant photo from one of my new (old) cameras. This is me with some Thanksgiving veg! 29/365 Squashed seedpod on the bridge this morning. Taken with the phone and no filters added. 30/365 Missouri Botanical Gardens all set up for the Garden Glow. We haven’t seen the garden all lit up, but even in the daytime, it is pretty cool. Taken with the Canon. 31/365 Oranges about to be made …
11/365 I was taking photos of the rake in the leaves to practice with my camera and the dog wandered in to glare at the rake. 12/365. Beyond frost this morning, straight on to icy. I caught the ice on the fallen leaves with my iPhone using Camera+. I messed about with it in Snapseed on the iPad. 13/365. Pickle the cat deciding whether to come in or not. 14/365. You always knew there was a feet shot coming! Here it is, with pom poms. 15/365. The finished pom pom fox hiding out in the woods. 16/365. A cloudy day peeking up at the bird feeder. 17/365. I spotted the climbing pink leaves behind the bins and had to snap a photo with the phone. How was your week? I think I need to make a promise to all of us to stop with the leaf photos! The very windy day yesterday took care of that as it blew most of them down. I want to take more indoor photos on my camera, so that …
4/365 5/365 6/365 7/365 8/365 9/365 10/365 Ten photos done, only 355 to go! Still sounds a lot, even to a shutterbug such as myself! Some days I hardly get a shot at all and some days I can’t decide which to use. Yesterday (10/365) was a decision day. It was such a beautiful day I think I could have pointed my camera in any direction and got a lovely shot. I posted more from the day as part of my regular Ten on the 10th post. Are you doing the Project 365 challenge? How is it going? I am happy to be using my Canon Rebel on manual for some of the photos I am posting and quite proud of myself! Some will always come from the iPhone 4 just because it is often all I have with me. The frosty leaf for 8/365 is a perfect example of this, by the time I had gone to fetch my camera the frost would have melted and I am not sure I could have got …
Pair of mushrooms and an ant. Cheese Swirl Buns to go with tomato soup for a quick dinner. A very chilly morning. I smiled as I took this dude’s picture. He has such a funny face. Bodhi carved a mini pumpkin. Block Party street art. A box full of sewing treasures found at a basement sale. Halloween decos. Shadow on the street. It has been a busy week, dentist appointments, parent teacher conferences, gymnastics, karate belt test, sleepovers, chilli cook off at school and a street Halloween party. Phew. I finished watching ‘Derek’ on Netflix this week and I loved it. What are you watching? Anything I need to catch up on? Have a fab week!
Last week was a lovely Autumn week, blue skies, sun out and a chill in the air. Gloves needed in the mornings to walk to school and catching falling leaves on the way. Halloween is around the next corner and November through the next door. Photos are: 1. A popped seed pod on the trail, spotted on the way home from school and snapped with the iPhone using Camera+. 2. Shirts on the line. 3. Bodhi took this of me at the park. Taken on the phone and messed about with in Camera+. 4. Making flavoured salts. 5. Crazy spinner at the park. The kids hold on and it spins around until they let go and wobble off across the field! 6. Brothers. 7. Changing trees. I link up with The Beetle Shack for the Weekly Stills posts. Pop over and see the others, there are some great photos. This week I am planning the third grade Halloween party, making chilli, jewels and planning a scarf design. What are you up to? Whatever it is, …
1. The table of cacti got decorated this year! 2. A glow in the dark skelly head. 3. Bodhi and I finishing up the web. We spent part of the weekend adding to the Halloween decos! Bought the obligatory ‘spider web’ which we will be finding until next year as usual. It does look rather good though, which is why we buy the stuff every year and drape the porch and surrounding foliage with it. I remember when we first moved to the States 10 years ago and thinking that people went way over the top for Halloween…ahem….
I am joining Emily at The Beetle Shack starting this week and posting a little collection of photos taken over the previous week. 1. Bodhi decorating the porch now it is October and we have dragged out the Halloween decos. 2. We found a toad in the woods who sat bravely while I stuck my phone in his face. 3. Little white mushrooms in a row. 4. Field of corn at the pumpkin patch. 5. Corn sacks for sliding speed. 6. Spooky owl. 7. Bodhi conquers the hay pyramid. 8. Giant pumpkin. That was last week, I am looking forward to the cooler weather predicted for this week and getting some lovely pictures.
