Could you stand another post about Project 365 this week?  (It&#8217;s been so crazy, I almost forgot to post my weekly round-up, and that&#8217;s often my favourite post of the week.)<\/p>\n<p>The week started off on a good note when this picture was the eighth of my collection to make it into Flickr&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/explore\/interesting\/7days\/\">Explore<\/a>.  I call it &#8220;Mama and Baby Coneflower&#8221; and it&#8217;s even prettier printed out on paper.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/3730105061\/\" title=\"179:365 Mama and Baby Coneflower by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2065\/3730105061_11a94a7054.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"332\" height=\"500\" alt=\"179:365 Mama and Baby Coneflower\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Saturday, which seems like about a million years ago now, was the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk.

In the interim, here&#8217;s a bubble wand picture.  (I suppose it would help if he had the bubble end up, right?)(This makes me smile because for my first child, I would have prevented him from making the mess on his shirt.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/3740815762\/\" title=\"182:365 Little boy in blue by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2433\/3740815762_a0138b5fe9.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"332\" height=\"500\" alt=\"182:365 Little boy in blue\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d been counting down to the half-way point of the project for some time, but I put no real thought into a fun way to represent &#8220;half&#8221;.  I was going to do an entire half-breakfast (half a waffle, half an orange, maybe even on half a plate and half a glass of juice) but the day was so busy I didn&#8217;t get a chance.  At the end of the day, I played with half an egg, half an apple, and half a glass of milk.  In the end, I finally settled on this one (with a much more than half-full belly!):<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/3744678888\/\" title=\"183:365 Half-way done! by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2483\/3744678888_ec19736692.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"347\" alt=\"183:365 Half-way done!\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve seen this one before, of course.  This is Adrian Harewood and the folks at CBC, snapped less than surreptitiously during my appearance on All in a Day.  As I titled the photograph, it&#8217;s much more exciting than half a cookie!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/3747038503\/\" title=\"184:365 Well, this is much more exciting than half a cookie... by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2520\/3747038503_7bfa1146df.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" alt=\"184:365 Well, this is much more exciting than half a cookie...\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Appropriately, I ended the week on another high note.  I&#8217;d had a version of this picture in my head for most of this week, but I had to snap it first thing in the morning because there was rain forecast for most of the day.  (I&#8217;d meant to be wearing my shades, but it was so overcast I&#8217;d forgotten them.)  And sometimes, ten seconds is simply not enough time &#8212; if you look closely, I think you can still see my hair settling as I dropped on to the windshield just as the timer went off!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/3750380950\/\" title=\"185:365 My new Mazda 5! by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2594\/3750380950_b2f9c1d1c6.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"316\" alt=\"185:365 My new Mazda 5!\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>All I can say is thank goodness I was on vacation this week.
