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.

We Two Are One Too – 40/365

Posted by Ellie

  We Two Are One – Eurythmics (Full 30 minute video which has great memories for us from our time in France Eurythmics – We Two Are One Too )

It's great to have an outdoor activity that we can do together, when the weather permits. The good falls of snow we have had lately, along with the bright sunny afternoon on Sunday prompted us to don our snowshoes and head out across the fields that lie just behind our house. The air was brisk but the bright sun cast long shadows ahead of us. You can go anywhere with snowshoes, wherever you fancy, as you can't damage any crops at this time of year and the open fields and woods all around us invite exploration that wouldn't be possible in the summer.

(Joni is too small to come on such long walks at this point, so she was sleeping soundly when we left.)

Joni and Gabi – 39/365

Posted by Ellie

Joni has fans in real life too. Gabi and Brandon came to meet her and brought her this little toy, which, of course, she loved, and she loved Gabi. And Gabi loved Joni, as you can see. We had a lovely evening. Good friends and a border collie puppy. It doesn't get much better than that around here.

I'm catching up with my project – have taken the pictures but am slow in posting (slow in most things at the moment, lol!). I'll get there, though.

The Snow Isn't as Deep Under the Trees – 38/365

Posted by Ellie

It snowed again, about 2" last night, snow that fell soft and light and fluffy. When you pile that onto the 10" that fell the day before, on top of the previous layers, you understand why a small puppy has to do a lot of bouncing to try to get above a cold, white underworld. It's a relief when she reaches some trees and the snow is only up to her knees.  She loves having the freedom to run through it as best she can and she never seems to feel the cold, thanks to her thick coat.

Growing up Fast – 37/365

Posted by Ellie

I had it in mind to photograph something else entirely today (no, I won't tell you, I will keep it as a surprise for another day) but it didn't work out. The cute puppy days are naturally limited, so my camera is never far from where Joni is.  #noapologies  (I am deep in paperwork and searching through old documents to fill in lots of forms just now, so my time with the camera is limited.)

Joni is now being trained on the Invisible Fence we have, which means that I no longer have to hold the leash when we are walking/galloping around the garden. She is learning the boundaries very quickly and with a lot of wide open space, she is at last feeling free to explore without a great lump (me) holding her back. And this leaves me also feeling freer, with a hand to hold the camera again, which is a great advantage. However we did have about 10" of snow yesterday and she is finding it a bit frustrating as she sinks in it up to her neck. Back indoors there's lots to keep her busy.
