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.

Joni Loves Blizzards #2 – 78/365

Last Friday the only pictures I took were of the construction work in the house, which I won’t bore you with. So I am treating you to my favourite image of Joni enjoying herself in the blizzard from two days before. This is how she looks most of the time out in a snow storm! She never stops running around like a mad dog!

Coffee Time – 77/365

This was taken last Thursday especially for Coffee Thursday, curated by my friend +Stuart Dyckhoff (among others). Just didn't get to post it then so am posting it today for tomorrow (late and early), if that makes sense.

We love to collect pottery mugs made by artisans and we picked this one up in Ontario. I love the pattern and find that the coffee tastes even better in it. I had to give myself a double expresso in it to have it show properly in the photograph. So I was buzzing for a while that morning. But it was in a very good cause. 😀

Joni Loves a Good Blizzard – 76/365

We've had all the wintry weather we want for this year. But Joni hasn't. There is nothing she loves quite as much as a good blizzard. I sent her out the other day, waited patiently by the window, looking out to see when she wanted to come back in. But she didn't. She absolutely loved the cold, adored the snow and raced around with great abandon. What she is going to do when it stops snowing or sleeting or freezing raining? I am sure she thinks she is a husky living at the North Pole. She has only ever known the winter. Fortunately for her there is no sign of spring in sight.

Joni is now 4 months old. The blue ball game is still the favourite and it is getting more and more refined every day as she teaches us the tricks she wants us to do with it and the rules of the game. We are learning.

I Wish For Spring – 75/365

Here is another photograph of one of the tulips I was given, this time for today's Macro Monday sub-theme of Spring. Which is what I wish for. Not what I have. I loved the delicacy of the lines in the petals as well as the soft pinks, cream and green. 

I always love to read the comments made on my photographs, thank you everyone! With the construction work going on in the house my computer time is limited and so I don't get to reply to them all very quickly. Please forgive me and be sure that I will get to them and answer each one!
