So I live in this awesome place where there are deer all over the place. The other evening I saw this deer at my porch. I thought "Awe, how cuuuuute!" Well tonight I noticed she ATE. MY. PLANTS!

P365 45th time is a charm

Ugh! I don't know what is with me not being able to commit to a 365!  The ladies in my FB group are doing a great job and you really truly can see them improving.  So I'm going to jump in AGAIN and see if I can make it stick.  Not saying I'll hit every single day, but I certainly think I can do better than 5 pictures out of 56 days so far!  I'm just going to start counting where my group is now.

I have a bazillion reasons why I've been flakey, life just gets in the way.  We just finished up with THIRTY TWO CONSECUTIVE days of house guests. Yes, I said 32!  One group would leave and the next would arrive the next day.  I have loved having everyone, but boy that sure disrupts your groove.  I'm hosting a baby shower on Sunday and then, life should settle down.  I hope! So here we are on day 56.

Still catching up...Days 5, 6 & 7 of my 365

Third time is a charm!

Let's get this party started...again! Third time is a charm, right?  This was to be will be the year that I rock my camera.  I set some goals earlier in the year and I've I can say I have accomplished a few.

I took a class through Clickin Moms called "The Best Darn Beginner Course" this past month.  While I'm glad I took the class it definitely filled in some holes,  I didn't have quite as many A-HA moments as I had hoped.  My exposure and white balance are improving, but I still struggle with that elusive tack sharp focus. The best thing that came out of the class was that I've connected with a bunch of super sweet, super supportive gals who are at all different stages of the beginning just like me.  So I'm trying a few things/projects out to see what fits.

Earlier this year I participated (using that term loosely) in a book study of Picture Perfect Practice, but quite frankly I just couldn't get into it.  So I decided I would do a Project 52-how hard could it be to post one picture a week?  Again, I just couldn't get into it.  So what else makes perfect sense is to jump into a P365-ya, that's a picture A DAY. Right?  I have read a bazillion times how shooting every day is a game changer, so I'm trying to do a 365 with some of the ladies from my class.  Our 365 started yesterday, and yes, I'm already a day late.  Oh well. Not gonna sweat it. 

So here is picture 1/365 that I took today.  It is my neighbor, Madison.  I found a sweet spot of light in the most unusual place.  Do you ever have revelations in the shower? I do.  I was trying to figure out  what I was going to do for my first photo of the 365 and I thought of this outside stairwell leading to my dark basement.  I forsee many pictures being taken in this itty bitty beautifully lit awkward door way to a cementy basement.
