1: I will be honest: I have done almost nothing this week with my camera. I have not really left the house and I have nothing interesting to photograph here anymore. Kiera doesn't like to be a model anymore and I have done nothing fun. Just being honest.
2: We did take a short walk up and around the block. It is just too hot to really get outside and do anything right now.
3: There were some bales of hay that Kiera and our dog played on too. We had no idea that our dog could jump high enough to get on top of the bale. We were very surprised! Seriously, our dog prefers my husband to hold her when we go swimming. Guess that she is smart and not as out of shape as we thought.
4: Thanks to a tutorial over on The Coffee Shop Blog I now know how to make my own storyboards. I am super excited about this!! I actually made both of the ones that I used on here. I am thinking about sharing the ones that I make on the blog. I will have to figure out how to do that first though... I am sure my husband will be able to do it. He is good at things like that. He hosts my website and (soon to be) my store through our living room... I don't see why this would be any more difficult.
5: After gymnastics on Wednesday, Kiera and I stopped at the gas station just up the road. (It was very hot, no air conditioning in the car... I was thirsty.) I got her a orange icee and we proceeded to go pay. Clerk: I like your outfit. It's really cute. (Kiera was still in her leotard from class. It was not said in a creepy way.) Kiera: pretends not to hear Mommy: Tell her Thank you or I am going to keep your icee for myself. (I was just playing around... I don't even like the orange icee) Kiera: That's okay. You can have it. (walks away to look at something on a shelf) Clerk: busts up laughing That's the funniest thing I have heard all day!! Am I the only mom who hangs her head and sighs this much?
This is my first time doing the scavenger hunt. I have been taking photos for it all week but have either used them in my Project 365 or another post. So I apologize if some of my themes appear more than once. I will make sure that no picture repeats.
Windows/Doors I wanted to do something different than just take a picture of a window or a door. I had a few other ideas too, but this is the one that became a reality. My front windows face west which makes this the sun just before it sets.
Eyelashes This was a more difficult photo to take than it should have been. Theory- put on a movie and she will watch it and I can get my eyelash pictures. Reality- my too smart stinker of a daughter (who has decided not to willingly be the subject of my photos anymore) knew that was what I was doing and started blinking really fast just so that her lashes would be blurry. *sigh*
Paint Borrowed from my dear daughter.
Leaf Veins I have to tell you that this also was not an easy photo to take. (I think that I picked the wrong day to try all this... everything worked against me.) The wind was blowing pretty hard. This is the white birch tree at my mother-in-law's house. The beetles are obviously back again.
Faceless Portrait I'll admit that this subject had me stumped for a while. I couldn't think of anything that would work except the back of my daughter's head. The answer came to me when I noticed that my daughter's fingernails were painted two different colors. One is pink, the other is black. Then I noticed that her two aunts both had their nails painted the same. One girl has the black fingernails, the other has the pink nails. Kiera has one hand to match them both. How is that for not taking sides?
Pigtails in the yard. There is just something that I love about this photo. It isn't the greatest composition. There is nothing amazing about it. Just my daughter walking in the side yard. Pigtails, barefeet, and long pants in 90 degree weather. 3 year olds!
