Project 366

A project I undertook in 2012 to share one photograph I took each day of that leap year. The subjects are diverse and show the development of my own photographic skills as I learned how to use my camera and compose photographs as I wanted them to be seen and enjoyed.

Love Me, Love My Blue Ball – 82/365

Posted by Ellie

Now I know why Joni loves Steven so much! I have discovered that dogs can see the colour blue, which is why Joni's favourite toys are blue – her blue ball and her blue Wubba, for example. And if you look at Steven's eyes…. well they are very blue! Dogs can see blues and yellows, but not shades of red, or green. Mystery solved. I think she loves him for different reasons too.

Steven was giving Joni a cuddle and I thought I would get another photograph of them, and as they turned around and I pointed the camera, I saw that Joni had her blue ball in her mouth. She loves that blue ball still.

This was taken last Wednesday, April 2nd (yes, taken on the day for the project, I am back on track, just late in posting). I'm catching up. See my postings on my website https://www.elliekennard.ca

Valley Evening Drive – 81/365

Posted by Ellie

On the Monday after the ice storm, the renovation work was in full swing and I had a lot to do and only renovation work to document. So I am harking back to the Saturday night before, on our lovely evening drive through the snowy Annapolis Valley, on our way to the concert in Margaretsville in the Evergreen Theatre (+Evergreen Theatre) . I intentionally blurred the images of the road and landscape as we drove through it, to just give an impression of this journey. The sun was setting in a haze behind the clouds.

Icing on the Bush – 80/365

Posted by Ellie

The ice storm that we had on Sunday, March 30th made walking (and driving) too treacherous for anyone without 4 legs and claws – and even Joni was slipping and sliding around on it. The branches of trees and bushes became encased in a perfect clear layer that enhanced the dark red colour in these ones. It's hard to believe that they will soon be covered in small green buds. Soon, I hope.

Fly By Night – 79/365

Posted by Ellie

Last Saturday night we drove to Margaretsville to a concert at the Evergreen Theatre, which is about 45 minutes drive from us, along the bottom of the valley. As we drove along the road, I was experimenting with different motion effects. Suddenly a flock of birds flew up in front of us.  I liked this the best of all the photographs I took along that road that evening.
