Project 52 - Week 39

Yesterday was officially the first day of fall, and although it still feels like summer, the leaves are still quickly changing. It's absolutely gorgeous everywhere! Oh how I love fall :) 

Project 52 - week 30

Weekly photo is only 1 day late this week! Not my usual bright colorful macro flower shot. I went for the more industrial look this week :) 

Project 52 - Week 29

I've been slacking and missed doing my weekly photo the last few weeks. Summers are so busy, and excuses excuses :) I'm even cheating this week because I STILL haven't finished editing my pics from our trip to Arizona and San Diego from back in March. Here's a few from that trip, it will be a miracle if I can get them all done before we go on our next trip! :) 

Project 52 - Week 26

The weekly photo for this week was easy after seeing the sky tonight! I have never in my life seen a rainbow like this. If you look closely you can see its actually a double rainbow! 

Project 52 - Week 24

Week 24, a flower refracted through a water droplet. I definately need to try more of these. Fun! :) 

Project 52 - Week 23

Walking through the ravine today I decided to take some photos of some dandelions going to seed. It's amazing how lovely they are in the ravine, especially when I can't stand the sight of them in my yard :)

Project 52 - Week 22

Usually I avoid spiders and their webs, but not this morning! Here's a couple photos of a tiny little web I found in my yard :) 

Project 52 - Week 21

Here's my weekly photo. Yet another macro and yet another flower, maybe next week i'll try something different :) 

Project 52 - week 12

Well, so much for finishing all my holiday pics last week. Perhaps it wasn't a very realistic goal. I only have a few hundred photos to sift through and edit! I'm cheating again this week and posting some pics from our day at the San Diego Zoo. 

Project 52 - week 11

I'm cheating a bit this week and posting a couple more photos from our trip to Arizona. I have a tendency to put off editing my own photos so i'm slowly trying to get through them all. I haven't even finished editing our photos from last year's trip to Hawaii! So my goal is to get the Arizona photos done this week!

Project 52 - Week 9 and 10!

Got back late last night from a lovely holiday with the hubby. We spent the first part of our trip driving around the desert of Arizona, and then spent the rest of our time in San Diego.  Good times! I took way too many photos as usual, so I thought I'd just post 2 for now. For my week 9 and 10 images, here is the snowy grand canyon and the absolutely breathtaking antelope slot canyon. More to come once I have done some weeding and editing :) 

Project 52 - Week 8

So in keeping with last weeks theme, i'm posting more orchid photos this week. I visited the orchid show yesterday, yes thats right I bet most of you didn't know there was such a thing. I highly recommend it if you've never been :) I absolutely love how beautiful and unique each and every one of these flowers are.

Project 52 - Week 7

Well as some of you may know I have a slight obsession with plants, particularly orchids. Here's a couple pics of my "dendrobium", blooming for the first time! :) 

Project 52 - Week 6!

I was trying to think of something cute to post for valentines day that would go with this weeks theme "creative black and whites". Well this is sepia, (close enough) and in the photo ... a heart! :) Hope everyone has a LOVEly week!

Project 52 - week 5!

I was at Hawrelak park today for such a fun session (stay tuned).  Perfect opportunity to get my weekly photo done! Here's my weekly dose of macro :)

Project 52 - week 4!

My photo this week is one from my recent trip to Vancouver. My first time ever if you can believe it! I had a lovely day strolling through Stanley park with some very lovely friends :)

Project 52 - Week 2!

Well its only week 2 and i'm posting on the last day of the week! At least I made it! The topic for this week was "anything but a face". So pretty much anthing goes! I stepped into my backyard today to find "anything but a face" and found some plants that have seen better days. These are the leaves of some old gerber daisies I had in a pot, and amazingly enough you can actually see some frost! Love my macro lens :) Happy Saturday everyone!

My 52 week project - Week 1

So this is officially my first post for this weekly photo project i'm taking on. I joined a group online that has categories for each week, the category for this week was laughter. My photo however, does not reflect laughter. My goal for this project is just to take more photos for myself so I might use these categories some weeks, but definately not every week :)

I LOVE Macro photography, it was the first type of photography I got interested in when I got my camera, and one of my very first lenses thanks to my hubby. Taking down the Christmas tree today I had so much fun with my new macro lens and some water droplets, oh how I love macro!

Oahu

Escaped our never ending winter with the hubby last week. We had a fantastic time in Oahu, despite tsunami warnings, and evacuations (the evacuations were basically just the first 4 floors of most hotels in our area). Makes one feel incredibly humbled and lucky after seeing all the devastation that has occurred in Japan.  Whats a few more weeks of winter? I think we can handle it. Here are some photos from our travels around the island, enjoy :)
