New Photos of the week #10
My Sunday morning shoot. What a difference a few seconds can make in getting a NEW and completely different capture, right? Most of the time I get REALLY annoyed at telephone poles, because they seem to ruin some otherwise good shots! However I guess I can live with them…once in a while :o)

NEW Photos of my week #9
Hi all! Check out this morning’s sky. I had to drive away from the clouds covering the mountains by my home and toward the west which had a bit of sunshine. I felt like I was literally a ‘light stalker’ which is one of my favorite internet sites (Light Stalking link here). I recently came across Skywatch Friday, so I took this photo specifically to share on that site, as well as my regular photo-sharing sites. It’s nice to get out and shoot something NEW…even though the sky is always there….I, for one, take it pretty much for granted!

a NEW photo (and sore neck muscles)
Oh my! I’ve been sitting at this computer FAR TOO LONG! My neck muscles, as well as my right (mouse hand), are sore! I’ve been cropping photos from our recent trip to the caribbean and I may have over-did it with the pics….no, probably not. I thought I’d share this cutie we found in Grand Cayman. Have a good Saturday and try something NEW today!

Good morning! The quote at the bottom of my photo says: “Creativity – like human life itself – begins in darkness”. The font is a little hard to read, but it seemed to work best.
a NEW endeavor (wish me luck)
Hi all! Ok…here’s my announcement: I am committed to taking a photo a day of our normal, every day family life and making some sort of Project Life scrapbook after 30 days. You know, I do have a smart phone, and it has been “reminding” me to do this for some time now! How come I haven’t been do it? Dunno! But today I started and by blogging about it and saying that I’m committed….well, I’ll let you know. Yes, I really want to do this, so in 30 days I’ll report. Then soon after, I’ll show you my 30 day scrapbook.
I made scrapbooks for each of my boys when they were little, but since they’ve become teenagers, well….they simply don’t stop long enough for me to take their pictures very often. I loved watching them flip through their ‘books’ when they were younger. I loved that they felt special to have a book ‘All About Them’! And that’s still important….so again, I’m committed! If the photo above was taken within this 30 days and was in the Project Life scrapbook, I know my boys would love reminiscing about watching that lizard (or whatever it technically is) climb up the side of the building in Grand Cayman after they swam with the dolphin. Fun times! Maybe I’ll have to cheat and include that one anyway :o)
If this is something you’d like to try, there are tons of great ideas to get you started. I just bookmarked “9 Clever Ideas for Project Life from Pinterest” at Kiss and Tell Scrapbooking for some inspiration.
What NEW thing are you going to do or learn today?
NEW Photos of My Week #8
I’m finally (sort of) caught up with things from being gone on our trip, so I went out shooting today. BRRRRR!!!! It was below freezing and there was a very cold wind blowing. I tried to find shots that I could quickly roll down my window and get! Does that make me a lousy photographer? Wimpy huh? But seriously, it was really cold! Here’s what I got…..fireplace, here I come!
