Sorry About That...!!

Note to self: Do not begin a Photography Challenge in a month that has no free days!! Yeah...so my apologies to all of you! It seems as if life has conspired against me of late and I have been unusually busy. Sadly..not with my camera. That said..my photography has..unfortunately..taken a back burner to reality! I promise to rectify this sad and pathetic situation very soon.
And just in case you were not already aware...we are creeping into the holiday season! Now is a great time to book those photography sessions..think Halloween photos of the Goblins, Thanksgiving photos of the Turkeys, and Christmas photos of the Elves!! Or something like that!!
In all seriousness...as you plan your get togethers and feasts, as you rejoice in loved ones near and far, as you reflect on a year spent and welcome a year beginning...take a moment to breathe deep, hug your family, and give thanks. Remember..we are fortunate. There are soldiers and sailors still fighting for us.
Weepy Weepy!!! SO...October brings us into Autumn and gives us a spooky day of fun! I am hopeful that I will be able to re-visit the Challenge (let's be honest..I need to just start over huh?) and that creativity is plentiful!!
See you soon!
Peace and Love!

Day Fourteen..

Today we take time to smell the roses. OK maybe not roses...but certainly a few flowers nonetheless. I must admit that I did not venture out of the house today..and since I don't keep a supply of beautiful flowers on hand (actually, I might need to speak to my darling boyfriend about the lack of flowers in my life!)..I am digging into the photography files to complete today's challenge!
Day Fourteen: Flowers:

There you go. A little trip down botanical lane!
Tomorrows challenge is more than a little exciting! See you then!
Peace and Love!

Day Thirteen..

Stand back! Today we concentrate on distance shooting. Like close up photography, I am still perfecting this technique. Here are my best shots. In my opinion.
Day Thirteen: From A Distance:

Please be aware that the last two were not only shot from a distance...but from a moving vehicle as well! Impressive I know! Or just really random!
A brand spanking new challenge tomorrow. See you then!
Peace and Love!

Day Twelve..

I want to get close to you. Today let's talk about Zooming! And Macro! And Focal Length! HA! Look at me getting all camera geeky with you! On a more serious note, I feel the need for complete and honest disclosure...close up shots are a tad challenging for me. I don't really know why. I just know that it's something I have been working on a lot lately. So here are my best attempts at zoomy close.
Day Twelve: Close Up:

Yes..I know that there are four pictures today. That is mainly because A: I wasn't sure which one to use. B: I wanted to give you all examples of my close up trials and tribulations. C: I am feeling challenging difficult generous today!
Tomorrow we go to the other extreme. So see you then!
Peace and Love!

Day Eleven..

Woo Hoo! Today we get to do something..well...fun. (not that this whole experiment hasn't been a whirlwind of giggles!) Now I realize that fun is completely relative...MY fun might be totally different from YOUR fun. But since this is my blog...and my photography...and I make all the rules...and the world revolves around me~
Day Eleven: Something Fun:

That's right! A big red slide! FUN!
More to come tomorrow. See you then!
Oh, and just kidding about the world revolving around me bit. Yeah, completely kidding.
Peace and Love!

Day Ten..

Today's challenge was a tough one. I had to really dig down deep in my creative cavity to figure out how to approach it. The answer was so simple...and so randomly amusing...that it practically begged to be shared. So here you go.
Day Ten: Something I Made:

Yep. See that bed? I made it!! It's so lame I know.
I have zero Crafty Crafterson blood...you gotta take what you can!
I am uber excited for tomorrows challenge! See you then!
Peace and Love!

Day Nine..

Welcome to Day Nine!! Today's challenge was a stumper.  A faceless self-portrait. What? After alot of confusion on how to handle this...a few test pictures...and a conference with the family...it has been decided that feet are perfectly acceptable! No face involved! And since we all know how much I love the beach...I decided to combine the two!
So..Day Nine: A Faceless Self-Portrait:

There you have it...my cute little perfectly polished tootsies! The whole point of this challenge is for you to get to know me better. Well...sandy feet are just about standard around here! What more do you need to know?
Tomorrows challenge is a doozy! See you then!
Peace and Love!
