Flying Weim and the Bone Catcher

I spent about an hour taking pictures of a lime dropped into water, only to snap a few of the dogs playing on the way to upload the photos. The dogs were CRAZY and I think, as you can tell by Lucy midflight, serious about their bone-fight! :)

It was by accident, but once again, turquoise has made it's way into my daily photo! It is true, I am in need a 12-step program to recover from Turquoise addiction.

Spending a snow day making a painting. I was just watching though. The artist was hard at work. :)

Mixin' Like Oil & Water

A few days ago, I was reading a blog post by Jodi Freeman on Pioneer Woman's photography site.   I immediately loved the pictures for two reasons: 1.) Their bright colors and most of all 2.) The bright colors.  Why hadn't I thought of running into the bathroom and filling the sink with oil and food coloring?   It's a simple set up, easy to clean up and wash down the drain, and while I didn't get the amazing results that Jodi got in her pics, I was happy with the crazy swirls, bubbles, and splashes I did capture.  This sort of reminds me of a cross between seventh grade science, think 'cytoplasm', and Ghostbusters, think 'ectoplasm."





These were actually the first ones taken. The oil and food coloring do not mix, which resulted in a globby bit of colorful chaos that I kind of liked.






I might have to try this again with purple.....

Rhythm of Color

Rhythm of Color, originally uploaded by KTVee.

Today's theme was to take a photo that shows "rhythm." The only musical bone I have in my body is my ability to shuffle songs on my ipod. So, I decided to make a rhythm of color with some scraps I had near my desk. I wonder what song this might be? Definitely something upbeat....

These Boots are Made for....Memories

Today's DailyShoot.com assignment is: Make a photograph today to serve as a special memory of somebody or something.  I recently cleaned out all of the old from Alex's room to make room for the new.  These boots were something that didn't get tossed out.  Sure, they will never fit her again.  But, these little boots mean more to me than a pair of shoes.  Afterall, every pair of shoes has a story to tell.  These boots, photographed on the new fluffy fur rug in her room represent the merging of the old with the new.  They are what growing up is all about.  I guess the fact that I am hanging on to them is what being a mom is all about.  I'm not hoarding. Really.  I haven't kept ALL of her shoes. :)



I'll always remember my lil' cowgirl, cookie in hand, and her first pair of boots. :)

Project 365 & Printing

One week into Project 365 and so far I have managed a photo a day!  I have been thinking of different ways to save the photos and came back to one of my favorites site, Shuttercal.  I love this site because it is super easy to upload photos to, they have an iphone app, and they are offering the chance to order your prints in a cool shoebox style. 

Sure I *could* keep the photos on my hard drive, but this year I want to do something with the photos. I am not sure if I will create a book, just print the photos at Costco, or just end up keeping them on my hard drive.

What about you?  What do you do with your 365 photos?

On a side note, it is very clear how much I love turquoise...this color is dominating January so far.  :)
