started July 14 '08...

i've seen this project in two varieties.

one is a photo a day and the other is a self portrait a day. both are to log a day in your life over the course of a year while making sure that pick up your camera every day and in the process, improve your skill....

i'm going to do a mixture of the two. i take photos every day no matter what... they just don't all end up here. :o)

comment away!!

hoffalady > July 8 '09 day 359 cosmo the boys and i took a detour on our way home from the dentist today. Q wanted to show me where his friend had moved to. driving back we passed a field filled with cosmos. it was so pretty. between the flowers, the sunshine and the dragonflies- almost perfect. nothing new to report. just another day. i think i might be getting the blahs.
hoffalady > July 7 '09 day 358 moonrise it just figures. last nite while i was doing my sparkler photo the moon was low and huge w/o a cloud in sight. so i knew that would be today's shot. i don't touch my camera all day. i wait. it's 9pm and i'm standing outside in my jammies searching for the moon. it's vanished. seriously. it's no where to be seen. so i wait.... and wait.... and wait... and get attacked by all manner of creepy crawlies and wait some more. finally Mr. Moon makes his appearance and there's clouds low on the horizon! sheesh! i did the best i could with all that interference. Murphy's law....
hoffalady > July 6 '09 day 357 sparks
hoffalady > July 5 '09 day 356 after it rained on and off all day. well not normal rain. stormed really. so our second nite of fireworks was cancelled. there's always monday nite..... :0)
hoffalady > July 4 '09 day 355 firepower happy 4th! hope all of you have a safe & fun day! we had a blast, literally! this is the first time we've lived somewhere that you can set off your own fireworks.needless to say the boys all had the best time and i got the play around with shooting fireworks for the first time. the hubby tired a couple of times to get me a shot of the three of them firing off roman candles at the same time. he's the greatest! this is the best shot of it. Q calls it my Ghostbusters shot. lol
hoffalady > July 3 '09 day 354 catch we had a great family day today. up early to go fishing. it's always a crap shoot fishing with my boys. T loves sitting there for hours on end but he gets annoyed (like most fishermen) when he doesn't catch anything. Q, on the other hand, is done after just a few minutes. the hubby was smart enough to give Q a job to do when he was done fishing, collect kindling for our firewood. he's a smarty pants! i had my camera- so all was right with the world. T caught this one little fish. he looks so proud, doesn't he? i also took this shot of Q that i completely love! after stopping to pick up a new cordless phone (ours was in storage for 6 months and now doesn't work!!), we got the boys non-coffee frapps and fireworks!! i can't believe all the exploding stuff we got for just $10! nothing like waiting until the last minute to get some good prices! ha! the boys can't wait until tomorrow nite when we have our own private fireworks show. Mama called too. she and Daddy were planning on surprising us by driving up and spending this weekend w/ us. unfortunately that plan fizzled but they are going to head up some time this month since it's the last of the boys summer vacation.
hoffalady > July 2 '09 day 353 cheat so not HDR! it's a Lightroom preset that does a damned good job if you ask me. i think it would have been cooler if i'd gotten at least another row of bricks at the top and all of the hanging sprigs of the plant. i spent way too much time downloading free LR presets and playing with them. i'll eventually delete most of them, but it was entertaining. :0) i wanted to thank all of you who took the time to really comment on yesterday. i do agree that once those words leave my lips, they can't be taken back. i might be best simply to voice my feelings, making sure i only talk about *me* and do it via email. that way there is no chance of me saying something i'd regret, ya know? or i could always point them here to my 365... lmao
hoffalady > July 1 '09 day 352 cherries i didn't love anything i shot today. so i spent far too much time in LR and this is whatcha get. blah. do you ever let something go thinking it's not worth the bother only to have it be someting that lingers in your mind and ends up getting more energy that you'd wanted to give it? that's how my day was for the most part. my brother and sister in laws move has got me all spun out. not that they are moving, because i want them to be happy and do what's best for them... it's that i was the last one to find out... that they didn't tell me first hand... i guess what it all boils down to is this is just confirmation of how far apart we've drifted and that makes me so sad. family is so important to me. so i've been wrestling with saying something or just keeping my big mouth closed. hope you had a good Wednesday.....
hoffalady > June 30 '09 day 351 dried today wasn't a great day. i felt off all day, headache & a queasy belly. not good. this was a last minute desperation shot... i hate when i have those. the first day we moved into this house, Q found these tiny flowers in the grass. (Q is my baby. he gives me flowers just about every day.) anyway, i put them on my desk and basically forgot about them. the largest one of the three is smaller than a dime. today is Mama's birthday! happy birthday to my Mama!! i love you!
hoffalady > June 29 '09 day 350 tractor-box my neighbors are away for a week. so the boys and i are watering thier plants, collecting their mail, etc. it gives me a chance to explore their yard w/o feeling weird about it. lol the boys took turns shooting and then they let me have my camera back. both wanted me to use one of their photos. that wouldn't have been fair. so in the end, i let them choose how i edited it. they thought this was the coolest thing ever. i love Mondays....
hoffalady > June 28 '09 day 349 snacker T spotted this guy while we were eating dinner. i knew he/she would fly away if i tried going outside... so, i got a bunch of hazing looking photos shot thru my dirty windows. i've never wishes i did windows more! my real photo op passed this morning w/o me even thinking of grabbing my camera! T and i were on our way to the grocery store when i spotted a box turtle in the middle of the road. i pulled over, switched on my hazards and hopped out to get him safely to the other side of the street. he was huge! shell about a foot long from head to tail and heavy too!! and the best part?? he peed on me! lmao! that'll teach me to save lives.... hope you had a great weekend!!
hoffalady > June 27 '09 day 348 everything Phish Food used to be my favorite Ben & Jerry's ice cream. not it's everything.... so delish! great Saturday for me, hanging out with my guys, splashing in the pool, cuddling on the couch watching movies. i even stayed up late and watched a horror movie with the hubby! don't you just love Saturdays?
hoffalady > June 26 '09 day 347 fluff it's been days, literally, since we've had clouds. nothing but blazing heat, smothering humidity and triple digits on the heat index. so when the light i went outside to see. it's amazing how much cooler you think it is when there are a few buge puffy clouds to block to sun! lol happy birthday June!! i'm so pleased you like your gift!! yay me! :0)
hoffalady > June 25 '09 day 346 humor the boys wanted no part of my camera tonight but they are good kids. they took pity on their mother and humored her. every other shot showed their lack of interest except this one. i think they were just tired and didn't want to be out in the heat any longer than needed. Q worked out with me this morning. T helped me move and stack all the fire wood (from the pear tree). we swam together for hours and even watched A Bugs Life. so it was a pretty packed day for them. i can't believe school starts again in just over a month!!
hoffalady > June 24 '09 day 345 nuzzle today while out running errands, i stopped at one of the many properties that have horses around here. these two were the more curious of the trio. they were so interested in what i was doing too.... but they didn't stand still enough for me in the 100* heat and glaring sunshine. understandable! i didn't love it either but they certainly were funny. while i shot, i was talking to them and they were stone silent but when i turned to leave, the boss lady (looking directly at me in the shot) started stamping the ground and whinnying. it was the cutest thing. the rest of my day didn't go as well. i found out that my brother and sister in law are moving from San Diego to Redding, CA. no big deal beacuse they are doing what they think is the right thing..... my issue is that they didn't tell me. i found out from someone else. we've had a strained relationship ever since they got married, only talking on holidays and birthdays. it's a shame too. i have a strong expectation of family. and while very few people give back to me what i give out, i still think everyone should try just as hard to maintain those relationships. it's sad when they don't.....

today wasn't a great day. i felt off all day, headache & a queasy belly. not good. this was a last minute desperation shot... i hate when i have those. the first day we moved into this house, Q found these tiny flowers in the grass. (Q is my baby. he gives me flowers just about every day.) anyway, i put them on my desk and basically forgot about them. the largest one of the three is smaller than a dime.

today is Mama's birthday! happy birthday to my Mama!! i love you!
