Day 80/365 Winter

Winter is upon upon us. It's been here for weeks but only in forms of cold and ice, until today. WE GOT SNOW!!!

Some pictures from the blustery outdoors today.

Day 79/365 Lunch

Part of my lunch, a plate full of cucumbers.

Day 78 of 365 - Evening Web Browsing

I needed something to take pictures of so I harassed Mike while he was surfing the web. He was a good sport.

These were both taken with our point and shoot.

I <3 Faces - Adults

As I mentioned in my previous entry this morning I was linked to a photography contest.

There are two categories to enter, kids and adults. This is my adult entry. Feedback is always appreciated. Thank you!

First my personal favorite... My incredibly handsome husband.



I wasn't going to use this one but my friends liked it so I decided to add it in.

I <3 Faces- Kids

Today I came across a contest for Photography.

I was so beyond thrilled at the idea of getting REAL feedback on my photos that isn't from biased, but beloved family and friends. I'm looking forward to the lurkers that come from doing this contest and suggestions that they can offer.

I can't begin to tell you how giddy I am to be doing this. I've spent all day trying to pick just the right pictures.

So here are the two photos I've chosen.

Day 77 - Day Trip to Lafayette

Today we were out on a day trip to Lafayette for grocery and other random shopping that only the "city" can provide.

One thing I've learned more than anything else during this project is always have your camera. I almost forgot it today and actually made Mike turn around so I could grab it.

Well of course I came across things that just HAD to be photographed.

Neither items are related, other than they were both found in Lafayette.

First this... A bird that was just sitting on an interstate off-ramp sign. I'm ashamed to say I don't know what it is. A falcon perhaps? I made Mike turn into some apartment complex where I trekked over a yard, through a fence, and up to a small crick just to snap a picture of this guy.

***EDIT*** Thanks to Krysten tells me that this is a Red Tail Hawk! Thanks Krysten.***



Second, this.... A pink hearse with "Meat Wagon" on the side. How could I NOT take a picture of that?

Day 76 - Things that go bump in the night.

This idea actually came from my father-in-law, and other than the noise due to the iso being off, I really like the way they turned out. I think I will try this again, and see if I can get the noise down. Maybe I can do one of each of our kids.
