Project 52: Week 12 {From the Jewelry Box}

 

These are baby rings that were given to me by my aunt and uncle for my christening. They were then put on a chain so that as I got older I could wear them around my neck.

Super Moon

 

Yay!  I finally got a shot of the moon that I'm happy with.  I guess tonight it is the closest it's been to the earth in about 18 years at about 220,000 miles away.

I used my 75-300mm zoom at 300mm, but still cropped it a bit afterward.   

Project 52: Week 11 {Darks and Lights}

 

{sigh} This is what you get when you wait until the last day to do your photo.  I wish I would have put more thought and effort into this one.

 

Project 52: Week 10 {Childhood Toys}

This is one of my first ever toys. You can tell it's old by the dirt and dust! It feels kinda sticky too!  I don't specifically remember playing with it when I was little but as I got older I always remember it being around. Even had it sitting in my room as a teen.

Project 52: Week 9 {Express Yourself}

I just told my daughter to sit on the bench and this is what she did! Lately she seems to be trying to "express herself" more with the way she dresses. She has been "borrowing" some of her sister's stuff. She has also been trying new things with her hair.

I heart Faces: Anything but a Face

 

I did at least 3 edits on this photo and probably could have kept going.  I couldn't decide how I wanted it to look.  I finally asked my husband to pick his favorite.

Project 52: Week 8 {The View From Here}

 

 The weather this past Sunday was awful. Rain, Sleet, and snow. This was my view of our neighbors tree through our patio door.

Project 52: Week 7 {Open Your Heart}

I had ours names engraved on this little mirror back when my husband and I were first dating.  To make a relationship and marriage work you really need to "open your hearts" to each other.

Scavenger Hunt 101 {#17 Fire}

Sometimes you need a little firebon* to warm you up on those cold Wisconsin nights!

*Firebon is the "term" we've used since my youngest daughter started talking.  The elementary school my kids went to had an annual bonfire in October to kick off the school year.  When we first started going she would call it a firebon instead of a bonfire.  We couldn't get her to say it the right way and it has just been a part of our family ever since!

Project 52: Week 6 {Words}

So I think I jinxed myself last week when I said that the themes have been easier than I thought.  Because this week when I saw the theme I figured it would be so easy!  Well, turns out it's the one that gave me the most grief so far!  lol

I had a couple ideas but ultimately went with the words on my vintage camera.  I also thought it would be a great opportunity to finally start my 100 possibilities project that I decided to do.

Basically, you pick one object and photograph it in 100 different ways.  When I received this camera for Christmas from hubby I finally knew this was the object to use!  

Here is a photo of me he took Christmas Day 2010 with the camera.
