Day 66

Have you ever felt like you were not the sharpest/brightest crayon in the box? Sometimes I just want to go back to bed and start all over. Today was just one of those days where I seem to have left my brain at home. Good thing I'm back home now and can hopefully find it before I head back to work tomorrow. ;-)

BTW, if your child doesn't have a set of these twistable colored pencils by Crayola, you need to get them some. They NEVER need sharpening and come in a huge variety of colors. Cameron actually prefers them over crayon or marker. Way less messy too! We have a pack that just stays in her backpack.

Day 65

We had a very lazy Sunday, but by late this afternoon we were ready to get out of the house. We rode our bikes down to the tank (aka. Pond) for some rock collecting. Cameron loves to find rocks that have imprints of shells in them. I thought it be a good time to try a silhouette photo. I took a few of my regular portrait ones of her then I remembered Courtney's post about shooting from a different perspective and forgetting the faces. (last photo) The first picture of the seed pods was color enhanced, but the rest are SOOC w/just rounding the edges.

Day 64

I tried to capture a water drop falling and creating a splash. I wish it had been a sharper picture but my ISO was so high that there was quite a bit of noise in the picture. I am still pretty fond of how it turned out considering it was my first attempt. Next time, I will try it with my tripod and with some better lighting.

Day 63

I wanted to do a collage of all the new colors popping up in the yard. Some are weeds some are actual things we planted, but all are beautifully created.

Day 62

Blooms from one of the ornamental trees in our yard. Now that all the trees are in bloom, so are the spring allergens. Wish I bought stock in Kleenex and Zyrtec.

Day 61

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind." ~ Dr. Seuss

Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss!

Not my best picture but this is a quick one of Cameron dressed up as Junie B. Jones, Captain Field Day with her wonderful teacher Mrs. Sandoval as Pinkalicious.

Day 60

I apologize to my 365 friends for being a slacker at commenting this week. I promise I will do better and get to all the blogs I follow tonight. I need to visit your sites to be inspired by your awesome pictures. Your comments keep me going and have helped me stick with it for this long. So, I will make sure that I'm more on top of it.

Here is a quick one from recess today. I just happened to be on the playground at the same time. The sun was a little harsh because of the time of day. Cameron loves the monkey bars and now she's finally tall enough to reach out and grab that first bar w/out help.
