Projects 52 and 365

Project 52, Week 29 - Music

 This was an easy week to photograph because my family loves music!  The kids are constantly singing.  We have toy instruments all over the house and they can make music with anything within reach.  In fact, I had trouble choosing which music picture to use!

Project 365, Days 66-72

 I've decided to make January the month of play.  I did a free online photography course hosted by Beryl Ayn Young called the One Ingredient Fix.  This one ingredient to making your photos better is to engage your children in play while you photograph them.  I remember doing this as I took her Momtographie class but I often forget about it while actually shooting photos.  I am determined to remember the play aspect this month (and months to come)!

 I also signed up to get an email newsletter from Clickin Moms weekly.  Included in this is a week's worth of photo prompts.  Each day is a subject or idea to think about while shooting photos.  For me this is great since I often struggle with what to photograph for my Project 365.  

 I plan on combining play and the prompts together each week to take my pictures!
Day 66 - No prompt for this day, just D concentrating



Day 67 - A Goal;  My goal is to be in more pictures.  Here I am playing Hungry, Hungry Hippos with D.  I even got to use my tripod and remote.


Day 68 - The Sky;  The sky was a beautiful bright blue on this FRIGID day with high temperature of 15.


Day 69 - Starts with K; My kid acting like a kangaroo.  


Day 70 - Someone(s) I Love


Day 71 - Bug's View;  I used my 50mm lens and +10 macro filter to take this picture of a piece of fuzz from my wool sweater.


Day 72 - Salty; One of my favorite snack, popcorn chips.  I like the bokeh in the front and back of the photo.

Great Country Farm

Image
Today to celebrate Spring Break we ventured to Great Country Farm.  We went last year at Spring Break also.  The kids had so much fun, when I asked what they wanted to do this year the first thing they said was "Great Country Farm!"  So we packed up the van with kids and grandparents and off we went. Just like last year, the kids had a blast playing on the slides and bouncy pillow.  Like last year I went down a few slides too.  Unlike last year I paid attention to the "12 and under" sign and stayed off of the bouncy pillow!  The kids also fed some goats, bounced on pigs, climbed on a bunch of wooden obstacles, and tried out the rope swing. And of course, no trip is complete without a little gem hunting! Last, but not least the kids rode the cow train.  S was till upset we didn't do this last year.  He definitely enjoyed the r...

Slice of Life, Week 1

Image
I just finished week 1 of my new photography class "Slice of Life."  It's taught by Darrah Parker , a photographer I was introduced to in Momtographie.  This course focuses on taking photos of your life, without worrying about perfection!  It's about finding the beauty and details in the ordinary everyday things.  I've been struggling with finding things to photograph so this class should be a great fit for me! This week's theme was what matters to you with a focus on our house.  Here are the photos I took (not all of them) and why they matter to me! My morning coffee is the one part of the day where I can have some time to myself.  In a house of extroverts quiet time is a rare commodity.  But I know when I get up (at 6:00, an hour before everyone else) I'll have a few precious moments of quiet.   This doll furniture is in D's room now.  But for many, many years it was in my own (childhood) bedroom....

Happy Easter

Image
I hope you and your family had a wonderful, happy Easter!  Ours sure did!!!!   We started the fun on Saturday evening by decorating Easter eggs.  We managed to spill 0 cups of egg dye and I only cracked 3 eggs while boiling them.  As you can see, egg dying is a serious and thought provoking experience in our house. The Easter Bunny left baskets on the table and hid eggs downstairs for the kids on Easter morning.  The baskets had an art book, a book to read, Mad Libs, Tsum Tsums, one small toy, and some chocolate.  We spent the afternoon with family having another egg hunt and dinner.  It was a great way to spend a warm, Easter Sunday!
