Theme for Project 52, Week 11 ~ Darks and Lights I liked the light flowers and their reflection on the dark wood.

Blooms
Don’t you love this time of year when the trees are in bloom? I wish they would last longer.

Waiting For Dinner
Yesterday I heard a constant bird chirping outside the kitchen window so I went to investigate. Sometimes it is a cat lurking about and the birds are sounding the alarm. This time someone was letting me know I needed to fill the bird feeder…. My camera was close by so as the bird sang her song I grabbed it and took a couple of shots. I knew if I walked over and attempted to raise the blinds…food or no food, she would have been gone so I focused in on her and hoped for the best. Not too bad actually…and how cute is she posing for me? I did go out and…

Woo Hoo ~ I Won!
Last weekend I entered a contest sponsored by ColorInc Pro Lab…the prize was a Senior Posing Guide by Photography by Natalie B. Guess who won? 🙂 I have entered online contests before on some of the blogs I follow….many contests. So many I can’t give you a number….but this one, I won! Best part, it is something I really wanted. Along with the poses, you will notice there is a brief description of each pose and camera settings. Perfect! There are 70 poses in the book…spiral bound and perfectly sized to take along with you to photo shoots. I didn’t have much hope in winning because, well…worst luck ever at winning things……but I decided to…

Our theme for week 10 of Project 52 was Childhood Toys. Many, many moons have passed since I was a child and unfortunately I have no toys from my childhood, but I do have this Raggedy Ann doll that my paternal grandmother made for me when I was in my 20’s. I didn’t have any children at the time, in fact she was beginning to wonder if I ever would. She decided I needed a baby doll and I happily accepted when she offered. I did finally have two daughters and their great-grandmother got the chance to see them before she left us. I pull out my Raggedy Ann every once in awhile….I smooth out…

My Morning With The Hawks
This morning at work I had to run an errand which required a trip across the historic campus. I enjoyed the walk this morning and had the campus practically to myself…students are out on spring break this week. As I was walking back to my office, something swooped past me and landed in the tree in front of me…..a Cooper’s Hawk. Suddenly I realized where I was on campus ~ well, let me clarify…after I saw the hawk and realized where I was at that moment, I knew this was one of the pair of Cooper’s Hawks that had taken up residence in one of the beech trees by Washington Hall…

My Second Choice
Yesterday I posted my entry for Storms in the Community Photo Challenge. This was my second choice. I took this one around 2:00 Monday afternoon, earlier than the one I submitted. This is the roof of the building I work in. I don’t work upstairs in this area….the offices have high ceilings and the desks sit well below the windows, which surround the entire top of the building. Nice offices, lots of light…even a little secret passage. But it is also hotter than hell in the summer and frosty in the winter….makes me appreciate my little space with only two windows that much more. 🙂

Storm
The Community Photo Challenge ~ Storms I took this Monday afternoon as I was leaving work….. ….moments before the bottom fell out. I was going to use an old photo of storm clouds but decided against it when this opportunity presented itself. I decided early on I wanted my challenge photos to be fresh if at all possible. While it appears I have processed this one as a black and white image, I have not. The bare trees and dark clouds did that all by themselves. 🙂 Visit the link to see the other entries.
