Project 365: Afterthoughts on a very good year

27 December 2011 Project 365

Yay, I did it! Another 365 project under my belt. Because I finished on Christmas Eve, there wasn’t a lot of time to post a long-winded look back at the year in pictures, but you must have known it was coming! Here’s all 365 of them, in the order they were posted: (Lots of greens [...]

Project 365: It’s a wrap!

25 December 2011 Project 365

I did it! We’ve reached the end, 367 days later, of my second 365 project. Maybe when you do more than one you get extra days snuck in? I never did figure out where I dropped a couple of days, but regardless, we’re here at #365 again. Here’s the last week in photographs. Looking back [...]

A Christmas Story

20 December 2011 Happy holidays

There I was, minding my own business, playing with the Charlie Brown Christmas tree and taking pictures of the reflections in the shiny red ball … … when all of a sudden — dun dun DUN — I saw him: the Creeping Mischief Monster! And even more terrifyingly, at that exact moment, he noticed it. [...]

Project 365: The penultimate post!

17 December 2011 Project 365

Only one week left in this iteration of the 365 project! Of course, the big question now is what comes next. I’m still not sure of the answer to that one myself – stand by and I’ll let you know when I know! I had a great time with fakery and rule-breaking this week! The [...]

Project 365: It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

10 December 2011 Project 365

There may not be much snow on the ground, but it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the 365 project! We had such a busy day on Saturday that a single photo just wasn’t enough to cover it. First we went to Hillcrest Tree Farm to choose and cut down a Christmas tree. [...]

Project 365: In which she once AGAIN miscounts to 365

4 December 2011 Project 365

There’s no cohesive theme to the 365 project this week. In fact, I’ve been bending the rules near to breaking — only 20 days left! Speaking of days left, remember last time I did this, and ended up with 366 pictures in my 365 project cuz I couldn’t count to 365? So I know I [...]

Quick and easy tips for taking great holiday card photos of your kids

28 November 2011 The Family Photographer

Last week, I hauled out the Santa hats for our annual Christmas card shoot. The boys recognize this tradition, and are wonderfully patient subjects. It was getting dark quickly, but the sun was perfectly screened by light cloud cover and the light on the porch was lovely when I got a few good shots. This [...]

Project 365: Heading into the home stretch!

26 November 2011 Project 365

I can’t believe I’ve got more than 90 per cent of my second 365 project in the can. Did this year just fly by or what? This week’s pictures are all over the map. Actually, that’s not quite true — they were all taken within or around Manotick. But I couldn’t really come up with [...]

Project 365: Natural beauties

20 November 2011 Project 365

It seems I’m doing most of my picture-taking at sunrise and sunset these days. Not really surprising, since they bookend the work day, and with continuing mild temperatures, dusk and dawn are pleasant times to be out hunting for interesting shots. These spiky, weedy things, for example. I have no idea what they are, but [...]
