January Photo a Day 2013: Yourself!

Day 31. Yourself: Take a photo of yourself. Or something that represents you.

The sunrise this morning was beautiful and the air was crisp and cool…just the way January should be…As I was standing in the driveway admiring the beautiful weather, listening to the birds singing their songs and watching them chasing one another through the trees I noticed something…It was ME!  The perfect photo opportunity to finish up the January Photo a Day 2013 Challenge.

January Photo a Day 2013: Down!

Day 30. Down: Is it looking down or something that makes you feel down? Interpret it however you like.

Usually looking down from heights makes my heart race and palms sweat…this view was through the glass and the feeling was still the same.

31. Yourself: Take a photo of yourself. Or something that represents you.

January Photo a Day 2013: Grow!

Day 29. Grow: People do it, plants do it too… get creative and take a photo of something that grows.

This is what is growing in my yard…Clover!  This little flower and it’s heart-shaped leaves are almost as friendly as daisy’s…I prefer daisy’s but they don’t grow this time of year and the clover’s do.

Day 30. Down: Is it looking down or something that makes you feel down? Interpret it however you like.

31. Yourself: Take a photo of yourself. Or something that represents you.

January Photo a Day 2013: Sun Through the Trees!

27. Sun: Whether the sun is out in full force, or hiding behind the clouds today – take a photo of it. Or you could get creative and take a photo of sunlight or some other interpretation.
28. Through: Take a photo of looking through something – through the window, through the gate, through the trees… whatever you please.

Today was a great day for shooting the sun through the trees…

early this morning…

I noticed the sun peeking at me…

through the trees…

Then on my way home…

I noticed the sun was waiting…

for my return…

29. Grow: People do it, plants do it too… get creative and take a photo of something that grows.

January Photo A Day 2013: Landscape/Together

Well, the month is almost over and I am still playing catch up with the photo a day challenge.  In my effort to finish on time I am offering a combination of Day 25 & 26…

Day 25. Landscape: Step back and take a photo of a landscape near you. Or even take a little trip just for the photo. Would be nice to explore your town for a beautiful photo.
Day 26. Together: There are many definitions for together. One is: In or into a single group, mass, or place. Take a photo of together, whichever definition you’d like to use.

Over the past week our neighborhood has had many visitors swooping in for a quick snack or a place to rest. Some keep to themselves and stay a safe distance away.  However, this morning I had my own personal Alfred Hitchcock experience…Birds stick together and when they do they become the  landscape…

I did capture my Hitchcock “The Birds” experience on video…I am embarrassed to say that I missed most of the experience because I forgot to push the bright red button..In my defense I was driving and they were everywhere.

27. Sun: Whether the sun is out in full force, or hiding behind the clouds today – take a photo of it. Or you could get creative and take a photo of sunlight or some other interpretation.
28. Through: Take a photo of looking through something – through the window, through the gate, through the trees… whatever you please.
29. Grow: People do it, plants do it too… get creative and take a photo of something that grows.
30. Down: Is it looking down or something that makes you feel down? Interpret it however you like.
31. Yourself: Take a photo of yourself. Or something that represents you.

Still playing catch up with the January Photo a Day 2013 Challenge…

Day 23. Electric: This could be a simple photo of your toaster {but get creative} or something else electric.

This is the Boca Grande, Gasparilla Island Rear Range Lighthouse.  It was put in to commission in 1932 and remains in operation today.

My attraction to this guy is electric…and has been for the past 27 years
