Day 110, Project 365

Fozzie looked so sad staring outside on this gloomy spring day.

Day 109, Project 365

Today I ventured outside of my comfort-zone (again) and met up with a couple ladies from a Facebook photography group.  We met near the Guthrie/Stone Arch Bridge; such a great location that I've always wanted to photograph but didn't want to go alone so this was perfect.  Nicole and Elaine were both so friendly and put me at ease immediately.

As usual I had a hard time narrowing down my photos so there's a few (or so) I'm posting today. Yay, though, I kept my shots under 100 today!!  :)

Day 108, Project 365

The lost art of ribbon-making.  With gift bags being so abundant, rarely are gifts wrapped anymore. And if they are wrapped, who has time to make a bow, right?  I had a wedding shower to attend today and decided every bride needs bows (it's tradition after all) so I got out my ribbon and made a bow for the gift.  I am beyond grateful my Great Aunt Darlene taught me how to make bows so many years ago.  Now I suppose I need to teach my girls?!

Day 107, Project 365

An absolutely perfect Spring day!

Day 106, Project 365

I'm not sure what wildflower (weed) this is but they brought me right back to my childhood; finding them in the woods by where I grew up or in the woods by my Baba's house.
Also, the sunset was stunning tonight so two pics.  :)

Day 105, Project 365

So....high vulnerability alert!  I decided to step out (waaayyyy out) of my comfort zone and snap a selfie, ahem, self-portrait for today's post in honor of my birthday.  There's a reason I like taking pictures: it's because I'm BEHIND the camera.  It probably took me a dozen shots, I could not nail the focus (still didn't but this was the best and I was getting tired of running back and forth to set the timer) and really, I need a remote release.  Birthday present??  ;)

Anyway, I was tempted edit the heck out of this picture but I decided to keep it au naturale (other than bumping up the exposure a little and cropping a lamp out of the picture).

I can pretty much guarantee you this will be my least favorite post of my 365 but I also thought it was important to a) try and b) put myself out there in a way I am not necessarily comfortable with.

Day 104, Project 365

All caught-up!!

My focus is off.  I suspect it's operator error...however, the lens is a refurbished so it makes me a little nervous that it's the lens and not me...when I have some free time I'll need to play around with it, get the camera manual out and try and figure it out.

Anyway, I love this picture if it weren't for my focus to be elsewhere....I took this shot seven times and every single one was off.  :(
