My 365~Day 8

Week 2~Day 8

Spent the morning thinking and planning for the garden in the spring and late in the afternoon I took a walk back there just to check things out and was inspired by some of the winter garden. Today's subject is the ornamental grass that I have planted in the garden, looking very different now then it did in the summer. I actually find it much more interesting in this state then in the it's green summer presentation, so much so that I had to take a few photo's. So although I have not taken any night shots yet I did get outside today with my camera. Spring is only 5 weeks away!!

My 365~Day 7

Day 7

So this evening didn't unfold as I had planned. I have been waiting for a clear night so that I can take a photo of the moon, and when I woke up today it was sunny and clear and I thought for sure today was the day. Well that didn't happen, the moon is not making an appearance in our night sky until 0100. So today's subject is the fantastic "Snow Day Cookie" that I made after reading a great blog that I follow Ezra Pound Cake. If you want the recipe go here, you will be so glad that you did http://www.ezrapoundcake.com.

I will try again tomorrow for a opportunity to shoot the moon. Go check out the foodie blog it is awesome. I am really glad that I started this project it is really inspiring me everyday to keep taking photos and learning how to use my camera in a much more meaningful way.


Bye for now

My 365~Day 6

Day 5~ I first enjoyed this bottle of wine with my daughter-in-law during my last trip to Ottawa. It was so delicious and a perfect bottle of wine to share with someone so special. Anne Marie is beautiful, kind, creative and light of heart. I have had occasion to share many fine bottles of wine with her and this was no exception. Currently available in your LCBO vintages section, but something this special won't be there for long. We are planning a family day weekend with them in the Haliburton Highlands and I will be bringing a bottle of this with me.

Technically speaking, Anne Marie I can't seem figure out how to include the photo info from Iphoto with my shot. Can you tell me what I need to do to include the info on my blog. I able to find it in Iphoto but I am not sure how to import it to my blog with the photo.

Tomorrow I hope it is clear enough to take a night shot!!



Cheers

"Jappy's Poker Face" Today's photo was taken during some family weekend poker fun, Jappy put on his best poker face for this shot. I have written other posts about Jappy he is a great subject for my photo's and a good sport to boot, with the exception of a need to lay on the table in the middle of a poker game or board game. All and all we love him and he generates some lively conversation........hope you enjoy it.

My 365~Day 4

Day 4~A thoughtful gesture

Today's subject is a thoughtful host gift from our daughter and son-in-law that they gave to Rick when they were home at Christmas. Totally not necessary because they brought us the only gift we wanted, our little grandson Aodhan. What a magic Christmas, your thoughts go right back to when you kids were just babies themselves. Aodhan is a special little soul and watching our daughter love and encourage her son is the only gift any parent could ever want. Having said all that, I am sure that Rick will be happy to raise a glass to them when he opens this treat.

Cheers

My 365~Day 3

Day 3 is a photo of a beautiful gift from my youngest, a topaz glass perfume bottle. I was given this gorgeous bottle for Christmas last year and will treasure it always. It is interesting to see the light catch the glass in different ways, highlighting the internal blown glass aspect of this piece. I used my macro lens for this photo, I love my macro lens.

My 365~Day 2

Hi guys, thanks to those of you who commented on fb, it really encourages me. Today's subject is one of the family felines, he was actually my Moms favorite cat. When she was in her last days he would curl up on the bed beside her and just snuggle in, there is something to be said for that kind of peace at the end of your journey. Anyway he has been with us for some 12 years now and he is a great old guy, his name is Jasper but my Mom somehow ended up calling him Jappy and it just stuck with him. That makes me smile just thinking about it, she used to mispronounce all kinds of words and I would tease the pants off her and we would laugh so hard sometimes at some of the names that she would come up with. Jappy is getting old now, he doesn't move as easily anymore, but he is still the boss if you know what I mean.

I used the same lens as yesterday and my tripod. I am having fun messing around with all of the features on my camera, just so you know I took 30 photos and only one survived.

Talk to you tomorrow
