Scavenger Hunt 101 {#82 A Statue}

I have also joined the Scavenger Hunt 101 group on flickr.  It provides a list of 101 items for you to find and photograph.  There is no time limit so I can work at my own pace which is perfect for me!  Though I'm hoping to finish it within the year.  We shall see.

The first photograph I submitted is  #82 A Statue

Brigadier General Erastus B Wolcott

This stands in a park near the lakefront in Milwaukee.  

Colored Windows

Found this building with all the windows painted a different color while driving around in Milwaukee.  Turns out my husband used to work in this building when he was a teen.  A family member owned a restaurant that he worked in.

Project 52: Week 1 {Around the House}

Like I said, since the project 365 last year was a bit too much for me I've decided to scale it down for this year.  So I joined the MCP Project 52: Photo a Week group on flickr.  Each week will have a theme that you can follow.  Or not.  This week I went with it.

Our bedroom hallway is pretty much a family photo wall.  At the top are these two photos of my maternal grandparents or "Babci & Dziadziu" as we called them.  My grandfather was polish.

They met while serving in the army.  She was a mechanic and he was a driver and would bring vehicles in to be serviced.  

Back to Blogging

*Sigh*  I took another unintentional bit of a break from blogging here.  I've barely touched my camera in the past few months and I hate it!  I'm itching to get in the groove again and post some photos.  


I will not be attempting a 365 project again like last year.  That was a bit way too ambitious for me!  So I have some others that I've been tossing around in my head and with a friend.  I'll post about them as I get them going.


To start I've wanted to do some alphabet photography and see how many letters I can find.  I don't mean photographing the actual letter on a sign or anything though.  I'm looking to see how many I can find in nature or can be seen in part of another object or structure.


Here's my first example.  Though I took this photo over 2 years ago!  One letter down, 25 to go!

This is part of an iron fence that forms the Letter E.

New Camera!

I've been wanting a small pocket sized camera for quite some time now.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Canon DSLR and have even had thoughts of upgrading it.  But there are just some times when I want to have a camera but don't want to lug that one along. Like last summer when we went to Six Flags, I didn't bring my big one in because it's just not feasible if we all want to go on a ride.  But having one like this that I could put in my pocket would have been perfect!  It's small enough to put in my purse so I can always have it with me.

And it's PURPLE!  Can't get any better than that.

Here are a couple of the first shots I took the day it came...

Not too bad!  Though I did have to adjust the coloring a bit.  Not sure if I need to adjust the settings on camera a little, the menu is a little different and I still need to find everything! 

Farewell 2010 Tennis Season

The school tennis season ended for my daughter last week.  She is sad to see it go.  I had to send some photos in for a slide show they are putting together for the end of season banquet so I thought I'd put together this collage while I was at it.

Photographing Lines

Went to a Brewer game at Miller Park Saturday.  Surely I'm not the only one who takes photos of the windows and the roof!
