2012 Photo Challenge: Week 26

Week 26 of our 365 Photo Challenge. Halfway point! I can’t believe we’re halfway done with 2012 and this project. I can tell that I’ve slacked off again lately and I need to push myself on a lot of fronts. Only 180-some more to go! What you see below are links to my flickr set…

2012 Photo Challenge: Week 25

Week 25 of our 365 Photo Challenge. Weekend pictures bracket this set with photos of Olivia. She should get to come home the 14th of July. Maybe sooner, but more likely that weekend. We’ve been going up to the breeder’s to visit with her I think we miss her more than she misses us right…

2012 Photo Challenge: Week 24

Week 24 of our 365 Photo Challenge. We bought a puppy last weekend. She’s a 4 month old golden retriever named Olivia. Yes, this makes her initials, “OK”. She’s very sweet, but staying at the breeder’s for a few more weeks to get in some basic training skills before we bring her home. She’s likely…

2012 Photo Challenge: Week 23

Week 23 of our 365 Photo Challenge. Yay! School is now officially done for the summer! I thought last week was crazy. but this week was worse. I got clipped by another parent while I was parked waiting to pick up the kids from school on Monday. The High School had finals so only a…

2012 Photo Challenge: Week 22

Week 22 of our 365 Photo Challenge. So close to the halfway point. It was definitely an iPhone kind of week. Crazy schedule gone crazier with the next to last week of school and DH getting his last 3 wisdom teeth removed really zapped my creativity and focus this week. What you see below are…

2012 Photo Challenge: Week 21

We’re up to week 21 of our 365 Photo Challenge! Not a very exciting week for you guys, but I had fun trying to catch the water from the fountains the way in a way I liked and wasn’t overblown with lots of purples in the highlights. Lots of iPhone pictures this week too. We’re…

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 18

Week 18 of our 365 Photo Challenge. I’m still taking pictures, I just realized I forgot to post this summary of last week on Sunday. We were busy trying to watch Iron Man 2 before going to see The Avengers. Fun movies! Definitely worth a viewing. The Avengers was packed with lots of action and…

2012 Photo Challenge: Week 17

Week 17 of our 365 Photo Challenge. Honest, I did take pictures in landscape mode this week! I just didn’t like any of them as well as these. We’re almost at the 1/3rd mark and I definitely feel more comfortable with the controls on my camera. Now, it’s just going to be a matter of…
