January is almost over!!

Well, week 4 with my "52 Week Project" has fallen under the category of "soothing repetition". This was our theme, and I thought our neighbors pasture & fence fit this description quite well! And, of course, couple it with a typical January day...filled with LOTS of the cold, white fluffy stuff!! Although a very common scene here in the midwest....it is still one that can certainly "soothe" the soul, and bring back memories of a simpler time. For me, I go back to the days when my children were all home, we would have a "no school, snow day", and my daughter would run out to this barn and saddle up! A free day to ride!!

MCP Project 52, Week 3

Well, so far, this weekly project I've started has been great, physically making myself get outside to take pictures, as well as carving out the time to focus on my craft! I had gotten a new macro lense for Christmas from my husband, and have just finally gotten around to giving it a go. LOTS to learn, but it's going to be VERY fun! Although it should be able to be "readable", this camera is dated 1913, so I thought it definitely could fit in the category of "shades of grey", as well as enabling me a chance to finally play with the new lense! It did a fine job.......but, I've got LOTS to learn. This whole "learning" thing....it never stops!!!!

Aint nothin' but a hound dog...

And.......with the second week of the MCP Project 52 already in place......the theme was to "illustrate a song"!! Our sweet little Bella, who we rescued from the Hound Haven Shelter almost a year ago, was very happy to play along, as she was enjoying doing what dogs do best!! Hanging out on her favorite chair this morning....
Already looking forward to week 3!!! See you then........

gotta go...

So, it's been over a whole year...that's pretty sad, now isn't it? And, what does that mean??? Well, to me....it means I've got that "power" of a New Year again...to start ALL over again! And, for me, it will also be about doing something FOR me!! Yes, I have joined in with a group of people who are vowing to take at least ONE photograph a week just for us!! It's called the MCP Project 52, and each week, there will be a new theme for inspiration. Sounds like fun......and, at the end of the year, I plan to make up a little book.....again.......just for ME!! As much as I love my business, I don't love how much time it takes me away from my own shooting...so, this will be a welcoming and fun little ditty!! Week 1 theme...."anything around the house".....come play with me for the next 51 weeks!!
