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!!

Harriett

okay i am sure that this ruby throated hummingbird is probably a male but i don't care! i named her Harriett! :o) 

two weekends ago, i got a new feeder and this bossy lil girl has decided it's hers! she chases everyone else away from sun up to sun down! it's so much fun to watch.

we took a walk along the patrol road tonite after dinner. i was all ready to shoot some wildlife and flowers. nature didn't cooperate with me! it's been chilly (low 70s) all day and right as we were headed out, it got overcast. so the light was very limited. disappointing but oh well.

instead, it's Harriett! 

until tomorrow...

day 63

already?

we're having some crazy wind and rain. i'm guessing it's due to Ike kinda sorta heading this way. there are branches and trees down all over the neighborhood.

this shot screams "Fall" to me but it's just too early! i know part of that is because i'm a SoCal girl. i'm used to green leaves (on palm trees) all year long. so excuse me while i get all excited over the colors changing... and the acorns!! :o)

more can be found in my Alternatives gallery:

special thanks to my sons! they are the best! they let me put leaves and lil branches on their heads... *heart*

day 62

ablaze

a friend of the family is out of town this weekend. so i've been driving over to her house twice a day to take care of her dog. on each trip, i take my camera w/ a different lens each time. yesterday it was my macro. someone commented about liking the post processing on yesterdays photo. i actually didn't do anything other than intensify the contrast. my macro was set on limited focus, hence the softness of shot.

today's shot was taken w/ my fisheye. i played around w/ the built in filters. i really loved the sunburst and aura around the sun that i got w/ this one.

happy saturday!

day 61

peek-a-boo

yesterday was my 60 day mark and w/ the exception of the 13 days i was camera-less, i have used fresh photo's every day. i have changed my focus from a two parted 365 gallery. i'd originally set out to do both self portraits and daily shots every day. i've really enjoyed the first 61 days. i hope that i'm still as excited about it over the next 304 days! :o)

thank you all for all the encouragement so far. you really have been such a pleasure.

i loved so many of today's shots. here are the others:

day 58

glow

omg! i can't tell you how great it feels to have my camera back in my hands!! i'm whole again... a bit dramatic i know, but it's definitely how i feel!

i bought this orchid over the weekend and i love the light it gets in the morning. it almost glows, doesn't it?

i spent a good part of my morning out back watching the hummingbirds fight over the new feeder. i took 400 photo's of them and these are the ones i felt were worth keeping:

day 57

homeward

well hopefully this will be the last new to you/older for me photo for a looooooooooong while! fingers crossed that i'll be able to pick up my camera from the UPS center today!!

tho it will change when my daily photo is posted. typically, i only view, transfer and edit my photos once a day. i enjoy it so much more knowing it's been waiting all day. so then my daily photo isn't posted until that evening rather than first thing in the morning like my "new to you" photo's have been....

*******omg omg omg!! my camera is home!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!! i'm shooting anything that will stand still!!! woohoo!!!!!*******

day 56

stumped

it's gonna be a lazy sunday around here. yay for football and coffee on the couch!! my hubby's home... but he brought a cold home with him. poor dear.

called my parents this morning. they have about 6 feet of water under their house. (the house is raised off the ground about 25 feet.) but still no power and it won't be on for another 2 weeks at least for them. the river is supposed crest and start receding but then Ike will be arriving. it's a whole lot of wait and see. i really hate hurry up and wait! the good news is they along w/ our family and friends are all safe thus far.

happy grandparents day!!

day 55

ahead

well, i'd say i'm back to my ole self, tho my stomach seems to have shrunk and i'm full after just a few bites. i guess that's not sucha bad thing tho, huh?

i'll be cleaning the house today. *insert sarcasm rich 'woohoo' here* but the good news is, the hubby comes home tonite. yay!!

according to UPS's website, my camera arrived this morning in Memphis. i'm probably 20 minutes from the hub BUT they aren't open on weekends!! ahhhhhh!! knowing it's so close and i can't have it makes me wanna throw a fit!! a la sleepy bratty 2 yr old!!

if it's still there monday (and not on the truck for delivery) i'll race over there like only a lead footed speed racer can do and pick it up! :o)

flags

today is going to be a busy day and all i wanna do it crawl back into bed and sleep it away. but nope.

thanks to everyone for all the "get well soons". it made me smile this morning to read them. 

according to UPS's website, my camera will be delivered on the 9th. i was hoping for monday but tuesday will have to do. i just hope i'm not creatively dead by then.... nah! i'm sure i'll just be anxious to get shooting. i wonder what tuesday's weather will bring... :o)

day 53

pardon?

well yet another new to you, older for me photo as i am still camera-less. i did wake up to a wonderful email saying that my camera has been shipped back to me. i'm going to call when the rest of the world is awake and see what repairs were done. :o)

my parents are home and it looks like all is well. they had 10-15 downed trees around their property. one fell on my fathers tractor. he's not happy about it but better the tractor than the newly remodeled house!!

i am feeling better, tho still a bit dehydrated. i'll be spending today in my jammies and trying to recuperate fully. maybe even throw in a nap or two. we'll see.

the boys were so good to me yesterday. they kept checking on me and asking if there was anything i needed. i have such amazing sons. *love*

day 52

bright

i'm running to the store in the rain. i feel like i've been hit by a truck. my belly is not my friend at the moment. but thankfully the rain is helping me sleep while the boys are at school... now if only the phone would stop ringing...

hope everyone enjoys their day.

oh! and i got an email from Sony. my camera has officially arrived at the repair center! woohoo!! hopefully, i'll get it back into my empty hands soon!!

btw, the pink flower from two days ago is a Vinca, related to the periwinkle. it was just about to open fully when i caught it's beautiful shape. :o)

day 51

peek

i was looking for a really good photo of my parent's house. this was the only one i could find. it was taken over the 4th of July weekend, this year. i like it. :o)

my parents ended up flying into Memphis last nite. they came in late and headed back to the airport this morning. they hitched a ride w/ the hubby. (he's heading back to San Diego until Saturday!! blast it all!!) they are driving home as soon as they pick up their lost baggage! ha! it's not the homecoming they were expecting when they got on their plane in Portugal, i'll bet.

so far, all news from their town is that there are a few downed trees, everyone is w/o power, but safe. Mama wanted to get back before the river starts rising. i'll keep you posted. :o)

day 50

shape

i was looking thru my photos for a new/old photo for today and the shape of this flower was what drew me to it.

thanks for all the camera encouragement. i've checked the website and they still haven't started working on it, but i didn't expect them to on a holiday weekend. maybe tomorrow there will be some progress.

also thanks for all the well wishes for my parents. i've just checked their flight from Libson and they are about half way across the Atlantic as of now (7:40am CST). once they've landed we'll be able to discuss what they want to do about getting home and what not.

:o)

Harriett

okay i am sure that this ruby throated hummingbird is probably a male but i don't care! i named her Harriett! :o)

two weekends ago, i got a new feeder and this bossy lil girl has decided it's hers! she chases everyone else away from sun up to sun down! it's so much fun to watch.

we took a walk along the patrol road tonite after dinner. i was all ready to shoot some wildlife and flowers. nature didn't cooperate with me! it's been chilly (low 70s) all day and right as we were headed out, it got overcast. so the light was very limited. disappointing but oh well.

instead, it's Harriett!

until tomorrow...
