Snowflakes

It was one of those afternoons that seriously looked like someone shook a snow globe.  Giant snowflakes falling in slow motion.  I felt it my parental duty to show her how we catch snowflakes.  She loved it.

More 365

A few highlights of the past week of my 365

a few from my 365

I thought I'd just post a few from my 365 project.  Still going strong... (but it hasn't been THAT long yet)

window light

It's been freezing here lately, and our windows got a little frosty.  The only perk to this was it made for some interesting light.  Hey, when it's this chilly, I'll take what I can get. 

Christmas decor

Decorating the tree...

I love black and white

I'm not really sure what it is about black and white, but I sure love it.

Birthday flowers

I was given a beautiful bouquet of flowers for my birthday.  My aunt is super sweet like that.  I couldn't resist photographing them. 

Wrapping up November

It's been a busy end to November, and I haven't dropped the ball on my 30/30 project.  A quick post of the previous weeks photos.  The week just got away from me a bit, and between busy schedules and a house full of runny noses I didn't get more than a few snap shots this week.  Oh well, it's bound to happen.  I still have several photo ideas in mind that didn't get completed this week- there is always next week. 

I snagged the entire family out together for a picture. 



Clean hair


My little man:



Apple snack- she likes to bite into whole apples by herself. 


A wintery walk up the driveway


Time to play in  the snow:

Cookies

Today was cold and snowy, a perfect day for cookies! 

Since my husband spent the morning cleaning the kitchen, I thought it would be fun to have the toddler help.  Needless to say, I won myself the task clean-up duty.  Totally worth it. 

(I tried something new with the collage as well, I think I like it, although I have to fuss with the setting to get the size right..)

Clickin Moms Blog

It is beyond a huge honor to be to have one of my images featured among such amazing work.  My macro rose image was featured on the Clickin' Moms blog today.  I've been a member over on that forum for about a year now, and if you are interested in photography and looking for a good resource, come check it out!

I'm slkenn and the image of the rose was mine. 

Thanks Clickin Moms, I'm honored!

The weekend.

It's strange, you would think that the weekend would be easier for me to get photos it, but it's actually not.  It's a different routine, so my camera slipped my mind a bit this weekend.  I had read a tip once for people doing a photo-a-day project which was to shoot something as soon as you get up, that way you have something to fall back on.  This was my Saturday.

Day 16: Morning sky


Day 17: Lunch prep for the week.



Day 18: Her all-time favorite book.  At least for now.

Half of November

How are we already half way through November?  I'm not even sure how that is possible.  These are more of my 30/30 project, which brings me to the half way point!  Eek!

Day 11:  Snow. 

Day 12: Baby toes (with a little bonus sock fuzz)



Day 13: Ye-haw.



Day 14: My baby and I


Day 15: Rice cereal, anyone?

A little drama

I was working on capturing dramatic light today.  It might be something I do a little more often. 

Other favorites

There are a few other photos from the past week that I really liked but choose not to use for my project.  But I still felt they were worthy of posting here.  :)

Lovin' it

I'm still loving this whole photo a day project.  I needed to put that in writing so I can come back and remember that indeed I started with this great momentum- just in case it declines a bit. 
Day 6: the potty chart.  This girl is seriously motivated by stickers and stars and is well on her way out of diapers.


Day 7: Rewards.  A row of stars on that chart earned her a new book.


Day 8: Giggles.  No one can get this guy giggling like dada can.


Day 9: Directional light.  Practicing some directional light to bring out details with my (not quite a real) macro lens.



Day 10: Morning coffee.
