Week 21: From the Heart

This week we had to take a photo of something heart-shapd or something that represents our heart.

My word for the year is "ahead" so this sunrise picture symbolizes what is in my heart right now:

A new day.  A new beginning.

Ah, retirement!

Week 20: Excavation

Tracey asked us to go through all our photos for the first twenty weeks to see if we could figure out our identities as photographers and then to take a picture using that style.

Here's what I uncovered:

1.  I'm a picture taker not a photographer and I'm okay with that.

2.  I'm terrible at taking people pictures.

3.  I love using aperture priorty to create blurry backgrounds.

On my way back from the beach, I spied some black-eyed Susans in a deserted lot so got off my bicycle and snapped some photos of them.

Then I picked a bouquet and arranged them in a vase when I got back to the camper.

Week 19: Digging In

For this week's prompt, we had to get down and dirty.  We've been splitting fire wood and stacking it.  Here's my husband's pulp hook digging into a pine log.

Week 18: Exploration

This week we had to photograph someone exploring.  This is my sister, Sally, looking at the prayers placed under shells on the altar of a Franciscian Chapel in Kennebunkport, Maine.

Week 16: Seeing Double & 17: Coupling

This week we had to take a photo of two things and try to make them speak.

These two dried white roses are from my mom's funeral.

I love seeing them every day and thinking of her.

Somehow, I missed doing the prompt for Week 17.  My bad!

Week 15: Two Perspectives

This week we had to take two pictures, one from down low and one from above of the same subject.

On my way home from camp Sunday, I stopped along the side of the road to take these photos of lupines growing wild.



Week 14: Bird's Eye View

I actually climbed up a tree to get this shot of the ocean of forget-me-nots in my friend Dottie's yard.
