Project Life 365-days 28 and 29

"inside"

I am really hoping that the "inside" of this chocolate chip cookie brownie don't stick around on the inside of me!

"new to me"

I ordered some used optics this week for a Lensbaby and my happy mail came today. I didn't have daylight left and the learning curve is going to be steep, but I'm up for the challenge!

Macro Monday!!

This week I looked for something that most of use every day. I walked around the house and looked at all sorts of things trying to decide what would make a unique image.

This is something like I had in mind, but it's not exactly what I was thinking.

Nevertheless, it was still kind of fun experimenting with different colors, backgrounds and

depth of fields.

Project Life 365-day 26

"guest"

Deer are frequent "guest"s in my backyard. They are aware of my being there, but as long as I stay on the deck they usually don't run.

I can play this one two different ways, both with some element of truth, but only one is the real motivation behind what drives me to keep trying, even when things don't quite go the way I had planned.

I could say that I've been "dream"ing about this since since Tuesday, the day I should have posted this picture, but we had no snow on Tuesday or I can say that I dream of the day I can do this type of shot well. To get it in focus and tack sharp. It was much harder than simply holding the camera still or putting it on the tripod.

Oh, but what fun I had and worth every frozen finger tip!

Project Life 365-day 22

"makes me smile"

I ordered a replacement part for my stove top yesterday (a holiday) at 3:27pm and from Albany, NY.. When I returned home from work at 2:15pm today the part was on my front step!
