Accidental words...

was a challenging theme to complete.  I wanted to do something that was fun and that I thought no one else would duplicate. I wanted to use nature to complete my project.  Had it been summer, I would have liked to use all flowers, but it's barely spring and so I have to make due with what Mother Nature is providing!

Change/Growth

was this week's theme.  I knew, as soon as it was announced, what I wanted to do.  It took some cooperation on Mother Nature's part to record this shot and some research on my part as well! 

My lilac bush...

Lifestyle...

was the theme for my 52 week project.  When I think of lifestyle photography I usually think about kids, young kids, parents playing with their kids.  I had a hard time coming up with an idea I thought was feasible.  I finally decided to do my lifestyle.  The lifestyle of a mother whose children are raised, for the most part! The lifestyle of a mother who works, but enjoys her time doing things she likes way more often than she was able to while her children were small.  The lifestyle of a person who likes to sit and enjoy the gorgeous, unseasonably warm weather we have been experiencing.  I can't, though, sit and enjoy that weather with nothing to do, so I took a book I need to review outside with me whilst I sat in the sun!

I'm looking forward to the Philadelphia Flower Show next week and hopefully I'll have some good shots to post!

52 Week Project-Week 6 Seasons-Week 1

This does not quite say "seasons" but it was a chance to finally get outside with a real person.

Boring, but done!

52 Week Project-Week 2 -Beginnings-week 2

The beginning of a geranium flower.  I bring these in just before the first frost, but them back, and watch them grow again.  This is the time of year that they re-bloom.

52 Week Project-Week 1 -Beginnings

A new year.  A new project.  A new beginning.  This project has a very similar format as my 365 Project with the exception of how many photos I take.  The theme will change every two weeks.  I have all week to to take my shot and improve on it, unless, of course, I procrastinate and take  it last minute on Saturday.  That's almost how this photo was shot. Of course, I can also love the first shot I take and not have to pick up my camera the rest of the week! (Like that's going to happen!)  I also only have to come up with two ideas for each theme.  That gives those of us who aren't overly creative a sense of relief!  It also allows me to take a variety of shots and choose my favorite if it's a topic that I totally love.

The beginning of an icicle.  I wanted a snowflake but had to settle for what was left after the snow had stopped.  Sometimes work gets in the way!
