If I can manage to get a photo up everyday after the last week I've had- I have no excuse not to get one up every day for the next 352 days! I have been flat out! But it's been nice- even though in those spare minutes I've had I have been absolutely buggered- I've made myself go out to find the photo of the day (even though that couch looked mighty fine!). Which meant that the kids and I got to spend time together- and with the heat wave we just had, it usually meant it was time spent somewhere near water!
{8} 8/1/12 "Ripple" I've always wanted to try these droplet photos- and I can't wait to experiment some more! While I did capture some 'better' photos, this one fits better into the ripple theme!
{9} 9/1/12 "Float" There was no question what we were going to photograph when I told the kids about this topic... Off to the little blow up pool out the back- filled with water bombs!
{10} 10/1/12 "10 Steps" The idea here was to take a photograph of something '10 steps away' from SOMETHING- it could be 10 steps away from your computer, from your work, your school... anything- I went with 10 steps from my backdoor. I thought it was going to be another flower photo, but how lucky was I to get this baby?! Goes to show what may be just outside your door if you took the time to look...!
{11} 11/1/12 "Light and Dark" I took this photo somewhere out the back of North Arm, not planning on actually using it for the topic- I just saw beautiful rays beaming through the clouds on a lonely tree on a hill. And it came out pretty average (for want of a better word!) so I played around with it and came up with this to fit the topic! As a commenter on my FaceBook page said "Color is a perception, which when removed, can reveal the depths of a shaded world." Not sure if it's from a prior source or not- but it fits this beautifully!
{12} 12/01/12 "Feminine" On another afternoon spent cooling off by the river, I struggled to find something feminine about my 4 year old daughter! She's such a tomboy! Until I spotted her one weakness- fingernail polish!
{13} 13/01/12 "Making Tracks" Back to the river... well it WAS 35degree+ days we were having! I went down aiming to photograph tracks in the sand- from birds, dogs humans... and got a few too. But then we found this old race car in the bottom of our bag of sandcastle building supplies. The kids made a huge built up race track, complete with a centre 'lake'!
{14} 14/01/12 "Salty" Many things crossed my mind for this topic, but when you live metres away from something this beautiful (and salty!) why wouldn't you photograph it?
