Fruit

Next challenge - Fruit!

No one said it had to be real fruit right? :)

I love the way the snowflake is in the background and reflected in the table. It isn't the star of the show, but definitely a great understudy!

Low Angle

The next challenge is a low angle shot! Here's a shot of Cody following in his mother's footsteps. Literally! Just 5 minutes previous I had been up on the scaffolding taking pictures. :)

Nice to have a son who shares my interest.

High Angle Shot

The next challenge is a high angle shot. What better subjects for such a shot than my boys! I'm a little (ok, a lot) biased perhaps?

These were taken from my back deck during a great afternoon of fun yesterday. A fire, roasting some weiners and marshmallows, sparklers . . . New Year's Eve 2011 memories!

Happy New Year!!

Another Year

Hard to believe another year has passed us by. My baby celebrates his 5th birthday today. I'm a proud Mama! Of all my boys! I think they're the cutest ever! :)

Something Green

The next challenge is to photograph something green. Just about everything green was covered up last night here in Newfoundland with a pure white blanket of snow. Little bits of evergreen peek out from under their winter coat. Very pretty indeed! Looks like it will actually be a white Christmas and not too green! Merry Christmas all!!

So, Day 3 of the photography challenge was to photograph clouds. Wouldn't you know that Day 3 brought a blue sky with not one cloud to be seen! And since then we've had nothing but grey, overcast skies. This morning brought an opportunity for a brief moment that just had to be captured. I debated whether or not to save this one for a future challenge like "sunset." Here it is, categorized forever under "clouds."

The Best Christmas Gifts

I spent a morning this weekend with another fun family. Ella loves gymnastics and Jesse loves to climb trees.

It was yet another reminder of the most precious gifts this Christmas season, our children.

Take the time to make some memories this year!
