Week 16 of our 365 Photo Challenge. Happy Earth Day! I don’t know what draws me to photos of nature. On one hand, they can be “easy” and don’t require much thought or patience, well ok, with animals it can! On the other, they can also be just as tricky to pull off well. However,…
Week 15 of our 365 Photo Challenge. This week doesn’t offer as much variety as last week’s set, but I was playing with similar subjects but different lighting. The rain made for some very interesting clouds in the evenings as well. What you see below are links to my flickr set for the photos I’m…
Week 14 of our 365 Photo Challenge. This week marks the 100th photo posted for the year. As I mentioned, we were on vacation last week for the kids’ Spring Break. We flew across the country to Maryland and stayed near where I grew up. Last year, our daughter and I did the American History…
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…

I nearly forgot to take a picture that day. Luckily, I had a doctor’s appointment already scheduled for Wednesday morning…
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…
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…
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…
