2012 Photo Challenge: Week 20

This past week was the twentieth week of our 365 Photo Challenge. Took some chances on photos that paid off this week. Then there were the ones that didn’t. =) But since, I’m listening to Neil Gaiman’s graduation address for the University of the Arts Class of 2012, I’m going to not call them “mistakes”….

2012 Photo Challenge: Week 19

Week 19 of our 365 Photo Challenge. Didn’t do so well on preparation or intent this week. Not sure what the deal is, but I can’t seem to focus (no pun intended) on anything for very long. Writing and photography are both feeling more like a chore than fun, but at least with this, I’m…

2012 Photo Challenge: Week 13

Week 13 of our 365 Photo Challenge. Hard to believe 3 months have passed and the 1st quarter of 2012 is over. Lots of bees working the flowers this week while the sun was shining. You’ll definitely want to check out the larger views of the photo from Wednesday. I was amazed at how much…

2012 Photo Challenge: Week 12

This is the twelfth week of our 365 Photo Challenge. Time’s really flying isn’t it? Rough week. Especially Tuesday. I caught a nasty sinus infection and spent most of that day with a 102˚F fever. I nearly forgot to take a picture that day. Luckily, I had a doctor’s appointment already scheduled for Wednesday morning…

2012 Photo Challenge: Week 11

This is the eleventh week of our 365 Photo Challenge. Not a varied week subject-wise, but my favorite picture this year so far is included in this batch. I’d been playing with the white balance settings on my camera and saw a dandelion gone to seed in the grass. I decided to take a blind…

2012 Photo Challenge: Week 10

This is the tenth week of our 365 Photo Challenge. Hard to believe it’s been 70 days already! Sorry for the seemingly repeats of the nearly, but not quite full moon. Can you tell I didn’t take any photos during those days and needed something — Anything! — before I went to bed? At least…

2012 Photo Challenge: Week 9

Week Nine of our 365 Photo Challenge! Spring has definitely sprung here. Which flowers are blooming are changing and I had some wild surprises this week from daffodils I thought were completely dead last year to a lizard taking a dip in the pool. The iceplant is just starting to bloom, soon the hillside will…
