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.

Trapped!-132/365

There is something so clean and pure in a sharp sickle moon. And I caught this one well and truly.

Painted Turtles on a Log-131/365

Our trip to Miner's Marsh in the middle of Kentville yielded lots of photographs of ducks, one duckling and a red winged blackbird. I chose to feature this one of the two painted turtles sunning themselves on a log at the edge of the water.. They are the most common of the turtles in our province. Zoom in and take a look at the length of the claws on those feet! Someone needs to buy new nail clippers. I know they were enjoying the sun and warmth on their backs as much as we were.

Just Hanging Around-130/365

Yesterday was the first lovely evening we have had in a long time, with a lovely warm light (only warm in colour, not so warm in temperature yet), so Joni and I were just hanging around the frisbee throwing area while Steven got on with the weeding in the flower beds. Who had the more fun? No prizes for guessing.

Tulip : Nearly the End-130/365

Even as they near their end, the tulips have an appeal. This photograph reminded me of old watercolour drawings in books illustrating flowers. I just loved the delicate drying petals, like fine crushed or pleated silk.
