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.

Gerber daisy centre 1:1 macro – Ellie Kennard 2014

This is a very close up (macro, 1:1 view) of the interior of one of the beautiful Gerber daisies that I was given as a gift last week. I love the way the little curled inner petals (?) look almost as if they are edible. The bits of pollen everywhere are almost untidy (where are the bees when you need them?) but of course I don’t keep indoor bees and the outdoor ones are hopefully well protected from the cold. I hope you enjoy this luscious flower and will forgive me if I have not been as interactive as usual on your posts. 😀 It has been for a very good cause. 

This past week has been so busy with other commitments that I have had no time to post the images which I have been taking. So I will do what I can to catch up in my project.

Today I saw a lovely photo of a poppy and it made me want to share it. Lovely image and helps us all look forward to the spring. Hopefully it won't be too long (as I look out on the snow). Have a lovely day +Ursula Klepper

Baby, It's Cold Outside! – 58/365

Posted by Ellie

Don't these look as if they are staring out the window, wide eyed, shocked by the snowy landscape, feeling warm and beautifully lit by the winter morning sun? Almost looks like eyes with a round 'O' mouth, while one is twisted around even more to see what's going on out there. That's how I see them, anyway. They are like a ray of sunshine in the room, even when the sun is no longer shining. So I hope they warm and brighten your day, too!

My dear friends who bring me flowers came by to visit us yesterday – to meet Joni of course. And they brought these flowers. They also brought a big bag of toys and treats for Joni. (She was pretty pleased to meet them, you might imagine! 😉 )

Thank you, Norma and Katheryn, you are so thoughtful, caring and generous as always.

It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over – 57/365

The sun was setting as we were coming home last evening and so this scene was a gift to me. I have been so busy this week that I have had little time to do everything I want. So when this image came into view, I jumped out of the car and took the photograph. It is looking across the dykes in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley. The sun as it set almost looked like a red torch (or flashlight) beaming up from the horizon. By the time I stopped to get this, it had changed, but still was lovely.
