52 of 2014 - Week 42

Theme is Black and White. Last week was Fall Colors, and what says 'fall' more than Canadian Thanksgiving confetti on our table?

52 of 2013 - Week 48

52 of 2013 - Week 48. Picaboo's theme for the week is 'Photographing Friends and Family During the Holidays'. My Focus 52 - Pixel Project theme is 'Words Words Words'. This is part of my father's collection of 'neat stuff'. It's an arrowhead that his brother or a cousin or someone found when they were kids, in Ontario. Goodness only knows how old this thing is! Can you imagine the history in this one item? Who made it? How old were they? What was their life like? Did they succeed in the hunt with this arrow head? How was it abandoned?

52 of 2013 - Week 47

52 of 2013 - Week 47. Picaboo's theme for the week is 'How to Group Your Photographs'. My Focus 52 - Pixel Project theme is 'Alphabet Soup'. I didn't follow either theme, really. My father put this little car together for his model train set. It is so tiny. I remember him making it and being enchanted by it. I must have been 8, or younger. My dad gave it to me, several weeks ago, surprised that I wanted it. It means a great deal to me, not because of what it is, but because of who he is. I have such amazing childhood memories. I'm so thankful for having wonderful parents who gave me a fantastic childhood.

52 of 2013 - Week 36

52 of 2013 - Week 36. Picaboo's theme for the week is 'A-Z Photography'. My Focus 52 - Pixel Project theme is 'Capturing Smooth Water'. The pool looks like the letter O and the water in the pool is, momentarily, smooth. Yup, winner.  Plus, the Charlie's Angels pose is just too awesome.  Weeb and her cousins were trying to 'water gun' the windows in the house next door.  They were careful not to shoot the electrical wires above (like they even could).  Wouldn't the neighbors have been overjoyed if they could reach the windows they WERE aiming for.  Sometimes the fun is in the mischief, and not necessarily in the success of the plan.

52 of 2013 - Week 34

52 of 2013 - Week 34. Picaboo's theme for the week is 'Creative Photography Tips'. My Focus 52 - Pixel Project theme is 'Shooting From the Hip'.  Weeb and her cousins.  Trying to get a photo of these three is much like trying to... I dunno, wrangle wiggly, giggly, uncooperative things.

52 of 2013 - Week 28

52 of 2013 - Week 28. Picaboo's theme for the week is 'Aperature'. My Focus 52 - Pixel Project theme is 'Photographing Strangers'.  And I didn't do either.  So here is a shot of Weeb and her older sister and a good Photobomb by Tibboh the Terrible.
