Day 28 - Friend or Foe?

I've been finalizing my calendars this past week. This lovely lady graces the 1st page of January in the 2011 Saskatchewan Prairie Scenes Calendar that I've finished putting together and have begun to sell already. Don't you just love her? She's such a beauty.....but questioning....are you friend or foe?

Day 27 - The Tunnel

I absolutely love these tree tunnels...don't you? I would love to come to this place and take a photo in each season. Can you imagine the fall colors here? oooooh, it would be so beautiful! But I thought this was pretty cool....literally cause it was a colder day. :-)

Day 25 - Gettin Hitched!

Got an invitation to a wedding the other day. I had the privilege of taking this young couples engagement pics and this is one of the photos that I had taken. They used another pic for their invitations but this pic is definitely one of my favorites of "gettin hitched!" :-)

Day 24 - Thinking of Israel

I was in Israel in November 2009 and I am already homesick to go back. It was such a wonderful trip there - I had led a ladies group out there on a tour and am so looking forward to leading another ladies group in November 2011. I have wonderful memories each day of my time there.

Day 19 - Tipsy??

We were at this little one's 1st birthday. It was funny..she just didn't know what to do with her 1st piece of cake..was scared to touch it, picked it up...and then it flipped over. Love the look on her face in this shot though. :-)

Day 18 - New Do? :-)

Well, I took the plunge....I went for some funky hair. I've had my hair colored before but never went real wild. :-) It's different but I think I like it...I better cause I don't usually spend that much money having my hair done. :-)

Day 17 - Goin for a Run

Copper likes to run but sometimes it's just too cold outside to go out for a walk with him. I was walking on the treadmill and he was whining away so when I was done, I put him on. He didn't mind it actually and he ran 6 laps at the speed of 7. hee-hee. The worst part was him takin a crap while running so the poop would land on the treadmill and then fly off the back. Kinda funny....running dog...flying poop. :-) Kinda crappy to clean up. haha.
But here again, I need to learn how to take action pics better.....any tips?

Day 16 - Sonshine

I was taking some photos of church steeples and as I was taking a photo of this one against the sun, a vehicle drove by and snow dust flew in the air. Sure made for a very cool effect with the sun rays and the sparkles the snow caused. Truly heavenly! :-)

Day 15 - Drive by Pic

I know many of you may cringe when I tell you that I took this photo shooting through the front windshield of the van while my hubby was driving down the highway going 120 km/hr. But ya know, when you're a photo buff like me, ya learn to snap on the go :-) I love this shot! The prairies are so incredibly beautiful and especially the river valleys. On a day with no sun and fog, there is beauty in itself and this was one of those days. I love the red of the bridge against the white of everything else.

Day 14 - Basketball

I think Basketball is one of the hardest sports to shoot. I did ok on this photo but I know I have a lot to learn about shooting this sport. It's good that I don't shoot these events professionally...just when my boy is playing. :-) But, any tips on taking better photos of Basketball? I don't have a huge lens with a wide opening, which I know would be more helpful...but how can I take better pics with what I got? I really do like the action I got in this picture though. :-)

Day 13 - The Cross

We had just changed moved the furniture around in one of the bedrooms and I had put the lamps on by the bed and really liked the effect of the light on the photo of the cross that hung above the bed.

Day 12 - Poster Time

One of my girls is on the SRC at her school so her and her sister are having a wonderful "getting along moment" and creating great posters together. Creativity is a wonderful thing...rather than just sitting in front of a box zoned out. :-) lol I love it when my kids are creative and not fighting.

Day 5 - Drummin!

Oops, missed posting this photo so we got a little out of order...but thought I'd post it anyway. :-)

Yep, my kids like Rockband :-) thought this shot was kinda cool but probably could've been better....still stuff I need to work on to take better photos.

Day 11 - Play??

Copper realized that he can now climb the snow hill up against our fence and "speak" to the dog next door :-) PLAY?? ARF!! It's quite funny. Sometimes he puts his paws on the ledge of the fence on the other side and it looks like he's ready to jump over but he never does. If you look close, you can see the face of the other dog in the bottom right corner. It's hilarious watching the two. :-) It's times like these that make our cold winters a little more enjoyable.

Day 10 - Pic 4 Memories of Peace & Quiet at the Lake

Yep, this is Day 10 of this photo project I've taken on and only 4 photos loaded. I was wondering if I'd be able to post a photo each day. :-) Oh well, it's still fun.
Oh how I love this place...our getaway haven. :-) Everything was such an incredible blue on this particular morning. No, I didn't take this photo today but I sure am yearning to be there. I took it back in November and now it is covered in snow....here, just a layer of ice was on the water with no snow. I'd never seen the lake like that before.
