Week 3 of 52

Week 2 of 52

So there are no bluebonnets out this year, I guess the lack of rain didn't help, but the bugs and butterflies are still around.  The Botanical Gardens in San Antonio is a beautiful place to go.  The gardens attract all kinds of little insects and I was lucky enough to be there to photograph some last weekend.

Week 3 of 52

So, a really random thing to photograph, but it's cold outside and this is in the house.

Week 2 of 52

So week 2 of 52.  School has started back and is in full swing.  I am busy with the four classes I am taking this semester, yeah, I know I must be crazy!   This rose plant is in a small planter that Doug gave me a couple of weeks ago.  It's staying inside until I'm sure the freezing nights are over with and Hopefully I can keep it alive through the Summer.

Week 1??? of 52

So I started on the 52 week project last year, and surprise!  I didn't keep up.  This year, I know I'll do much better as I intend to photograph things around me that catch my attention.  So... here comes Tanner as my {1st} entry.  He is by far the best dog to photograph.  He'll do whatever I want within reason, and stay until I'm done. Pepe might get in occasionally for a picture, but he's not as cooperative as Tanner.  So here's to the rest of the 52.    

Week 9 of 52

Okay, so finding time to think of something for me to do and photograph, along with actually implementing it has not worked out so well!  In my defense, I have started back to school and work full time and do photography jobs on the side...sooooooo I have made a decision !   I am going to post a photo a week of something I have photographed.  This photo will not be on my blog in another location. I may still occasionally post one of me doing something or other, if I have some free time.
So for this week... these are flowers Doug brought to me at work. I know, how sweet.  :)  
This, I think I can keep up with.  Let hope!

Week 8 of 52

This is week 8 of 52.  We were at Doug's mountain bike race this weekend at Camp Eagle near Dripping Springs, Texas.  Christopher, Ashley and I were sitting on the deck above the river and I started taking photos.  After taking a couple of Christopher, I decided this one would be used for my 52 week project.  I know you don't see me first off, but I AM in the photo and I am the one taking it.  You have to get really creative I have found out to do a project such as this.  Oh, and Doug did great.

Week 7 of 52

More fun at the beach.  I have never taken a photo of my shadow, so I thought this would be a good way to get a 52 week shot. The sand is really pretty at South Padre, I love that there is no driving on the beach in the location we go.   The sand is soft enough to dig in and there are no shells that can cut your feet.  Can you tell I LOVE that beach?  Now that school has started , and I'm taking 11 hours, I know I can't believe it myself, I will have less time to figure out how to get these photos taken.  I guess that's the point of this project, to keep you shooting even when your busy.  Hopefully I'll have plenty of ideas to keep me going.  See ya next week.

Week 6 of 52

I technically missed last week, but in my own defense,  I was at the beach.  There was no internet at our condo, and for the last 2 days, no television.  Something about the cable going out on the island with lots of wind.... yeah, yeah, isn't it usually pretty windy at the beach?  Oh well, so seeing as I took this photo last week and had no way to post it, no I don't have an iphone just yet, I am posting today and getting ready to post later this week.  I did spend part of this week at the beach as well, so I'm sure I will be using something else beach related.  If I could live anywhere else other than San Antonio, I think I would have to choose somewhere there was a beach.  I absolutely Love it.  I could spend all day outside.  We didn't vacation until later in the summer, after all school will start here on Monday the 23rd, so it was quiet and peaceful.
Oh, and the Gnome, he goes with us on vacations and special outings such as Doug's bike races and birthday parties.  I know it's kind of silly, but he has traveled all around with us and we have photos of him all of these places. People are really funny when they see him in a  backpack hiking or snow skiing!   You wouldn't believe the things he has done!  He surfs, plays horseshoes, hikes mountains and of course goes to beaches.  He has had a few injuries here and there, a couple of years ago he broke his arm. Hopefully he'll last a really long time and go on trips all around the world with us.  My son Christopher doesn't like having his picture with the Gnome, so of course the goal is to do it just for fun.

Week 5 of 52

So I have made it to 5 weeks!   It is really Hot outside, so maybe next week should be inside.  Or at the beach at least.  Tomorrow, August 6th is Doug's 41st birthday.  I can not wait to celebrate with him. Dinner out tomorrow and a party on Saturday night.  Lots of friends over to help with the celebration!  Photos of his cake will follow.  I have not attempted this particular type, so we'll see how it turns out.  In my head it looks fabulous.  If nothing else I'm certain it will taste delicious.
Happy Birthday Doug..

Week 4 of 52

I finally broke down and got the last book in the Twilight series.  It really is a good book, but the size of it kind of intimidates me.  I hope I can finish it before school starts next month!
As I said at the beginning of this project, it may be hard to come up with different ideas.  Well, my guess was right.  I need to think about next week already so there will be something new and exciting.

Week 3 of 52

Tanner helped me this week with my 52 week project.  He is one of the most cooperative dogs I have ever known.  He will just sit still wherever I put him and pose until I'm finished taking photos.   If he gets bored, he will just lay down and look up at me asking with his big eyes if were done.

Week 2 of the 52

  Okay, so I made it to week 2!  It is really HOT outside today even though I don't believe the temperature has reached 100 yet this year.  I'm sure it's coming soon enough.
