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.

You Didn't Believe That Joni Runs on Top of the Snow? – 52/365

Posted by Ellie
I hadn’t intended to take a photograph of Joni and post it as my daily photo for my project. But the day raced away from me, fraught with problems and hassle and stress and in the end the only pictures I had managed to take were ones of Joni running across the top of the snow first thing this morning. A project is a project and so I am posting this. Besides, it ties in with yesterday’s photos of snow.

Yes, this is exactly the same snow as I stood in yesterday, sinking in up to above my knees. It’s probably 3 feet or more deep. But gradually it forms a fairly hard crust on the top and a 15 lb puppy can easily run on the surface. Not so a person, who sinks in and flounders about,, breaking through the top and losing balance on the lumpy hard layers of ice and snow beneath. I was not having nearly as much fun as she was. The next times I went out with her today (without the camera) I strapped on my snowshoes and I, too, was walking across the top of the snow! 

Joni is 12 weeks old tomorrow. Have a great weekend everyone! I hope you have as much fun as a puppy running across the snow on a lovely winter’s day.

It can take a long time for the snowplows to get to Highway 221 – 51/365

Posted by Ellie

I thought you might like to see our 'highway' after the storm.

This snow, at least was forecast, unlike yesterday's. But when I came downstairs this morning, I could not see the car parked in front of the house.  While Steven plowed the drive to clear it so that I could get to my eye doctor appointment, I dragged the recycling and garbage to the edge of the drive. This is the scene from there. He is fast getting to the point of not having somewhere to push it, we have such a buildup  – of water – ridiculous, isn't it? I have another couple of photos to add to this saga which I will post shortly, but this is the one I chose for the project, for my friends +Charles Strebor and +Natosha Davis for their themes.

Joni in the New Snow – 50/365

Posted by Ellie

Sometimes our weather seems to come out of nowhere. I think we were supposed to get flurries in the night. Flurries, for the uninitiated means  "a very light snow that is rather brief and does not produce a measurable amount of snow (minimum of a tenth of an inch)".

Instead, this morning I woke up to a fresh fall of snow of 6-8" or around 20 cm. Steven was a little dismayed as that meant he had to spend the first 2.5 hours of his morning clearing it from the drive. Joni was delighted. She can still walk on top of the last fall which formed a crust and again finds it easier going under the trees where it is less deep. I am a lot heavier (!) and so I sink right in, well above my boots and even above my knees in the open areas. For the #fansofjoni  we have another Joni feature today! 😀

Monochrome – 49/365

Posted by Ellie

I actually was taking a photograph of things in this dish, not this dish at all. But then I was rather taken by the interior with the glass stamens and decided to photograph this just by itself.  (Now I am caught up for my 365 Project!)

A monochrome treatment suits the following themes :
