It’s Snapshot Saturday! Yes, I realize I have it a little backwards because tomorrow is supposed to be the snapshot day, but I wanted to share this funny shot of my honey. Apparently the sun was too bright when he laid down for a nap… 
This little guy was happily getting a drink from the sprinkler spray – he didn’t even fly away from me until I got pretty close – I guess he was really thirsty!
I’m superdy-duperdy tired tonight. I didn’t take food photos again. Oops. Instead, I guess it’s Fellowship Friday. We had our Ladies’ Fellowship meeting this evening. We did a plant exchange… 
…and we played some games and laughed a lot! 
Now I’m going to bed. Blog friends, I will get around to the blogs tomorrow – sorry I haven’t been on it this week!
It’s Thankful Thursday, and today I’m thankful that I didn’t have to be outside very long! It was so so so windy and cold today! Yuck! I got to go for refreshment with my mother and Felice – always a fun time. After our treats we stopped at the hardware store/florist, and I saw this wonderful bowl of lilies. I want to grow these year-round! 
Instead of reading and perusing photography sites today, I actually cleaned up my kitchen and living room. I also spent time out with Mom and Felice, and took a nap while Caleb watched a movie. Overall, a successful day!
It was too cold and windy for wimpy ol’ me to get out and about on this Walkabout Wednesday, so instead, I participated in the Prop Junkie contest over at Prop Insanity. The contest theme is “baskets” so I took a shot of a “baby” in my favorite prop basket. The blanket was used on my sweet babies when they were little… ::sigh:: …time goes by so fast! 
The baby doll is Fancy’s Sugar Britches. She was a very well-behaved model – not a peep the whole time. For those who pay attention to such things, the light is very uneven because I didn’t take the time to get my gear out and set up a mini studio. I didn’t even get my reflector out, so the camera side of the photo was considerably darker than the window side. I lightened it a bit in Photoshop, but I didn’t mess too much. The shadows give it a bit of depth, and the darkness hides some of the dirty floor. :-)
I spent some time looking at photos from the Prop Insanity contest, and the Tasra Tweeps, and I read this post on bokeh at Digital Photography School.
Photogs, what did you do today to hone your craft?
Sorry – no texture as such today. Today is last-minute-photo Tuesday. The heavy rain clouds were causing it to get dark a bit early when I went out for this photo. My neighbor always has lovely flowers and plants in her yard. I’m so glad she does, because I don’t have any!
Photographers, what is your favorite subject to shoot? I think I get good photos of flowers, but my favorite subject is toddlers/young children. I love the activity and animation, and the carefree spirit of young children.
Zowie, this year is going fast! I can’t believe it’s almost the end of April!
For my Monochrome Monday shot I took my Kristi-girl over to the local park and took some shots of her swinging. The swingset isn’t in a good place for unobstructed photos, so I had trees no matter which way I went, but I kinda liked this anyway.
If you’re doing a 365 (or 52) project, what is your purpose for it? What do you hope/expect to accomplish over the course of the year?
It’s Snapshot Sunday! My snaps today are not of my own kids – they are of a cutie patootie that came to our church today. He is the grandson of one of my friends, and he couldn’t get any cuter! Not only is he absolutely adorable, he’s sweet! I never heard him fuss and he was very easily redirected when he was headed for trouble. Precious little man!
He was too fast for me when I was on the ground at his level – I couldn’t keep up! Several of my shots have terrible motion blur, and they aren’t from his eye level (as I like them to be), but his grandma will love them anyway!
I also took a few pictures of this robin’s nest. The robin built it above our neighbor’s back door and laid her eggs. Then she got trapped inside their house, and when they finally got her out of the house she left and never came back to her nest. That was more than a week ago. Too bad. But the eggs are really pretty! 
(I boosted the color just a bit because I love the colors of the nest, and they were a bit lost in the original photo.)
