One Photo A Day for a Year

2011-06-08T10:21:00.000-07:00

I'm back with a new photo project after taking a 2-year hiatus and recovering from illness. Rather than starting a new blog for this project, I decided to resurrect this blog-- as I already have way too many Blogs!!!

So, I'll start here....

Introducing........One Photo a Day for a Year

That darn cat!! She always looks mad, startled, pissed, freaked out, suspicious or paranoid when the camera comes out, rather than the cool sublime cat that she really is.

Round Robin Photo Challenge: By The Numbers

2009-04-04T10:10:00.000-07:00

The Challenge is a photo of anything that has numbers-- in it, on it or of it.

I'm a big fan of brick and am putting together a brick portfolio. This brick just happens to have numbers on it!! This is the place I get blood drawn every week-- (the thrilling life of a cancer patient in the midst of treatment!) Bringing my camera and taking shots along the way takes me out of that world for a few minutes and focused on the "big picture"-- the world around me. Thank goodness for hobbies, is all I can say. :)

Overcast day, Bright Blue House

2009-03-29T14:11:00.000-07:00

I spotted this house on a hill and was compelled to take a photo of it. It's very bright and I think it kinda matches the colors of my blog.

Ellipse Photo Challenge: Things that Float

2009-03-28T21:02:00.000-07:00

The Challenge: http://ellipsissuddenlycarly.blogspot.com/

EMPS #3o: THINGS THAT FLOAT.Pretty self explanatory... show me THINGS THAT FLOAT. Leaves in a stream, pretty candles in a bath tub or pool, clouds, balloons, a scoop of ice cream in soda... aka... Root Beer FLOAT. Yum, by the way! A boat on the water, a piece of ice in a glass of water. Children's bubbles. You get the idea. Feel free to get creative with this challenge, and as always, archived photos are fine, but try to post ones you haven't showed us before.

Cali

2009-03-23T14:10:00.000-07:00

Too cold to go out today to shoot anything, so......

This is Cali my wonderful cat. Part Maine Coon and regular Calico, hence her name. She loves to eat & sleep, likes music & quietness. Is about 2-1/2 years old and weighs about 15 lbs. I'm a bit biased, but I think she's a pretty special cat.

Round Robin Challenge: The Old Place

2009-03-22T14:55:00.000-07:00

My first photo challenge!

The Challenge:

The Old Place

Show us some place that's been around a long time, preferably 50 years or more. It can be an interior or exterior or both. The spooky Victorian mansion on the corner is fair game, or the abandoned amusement park. Or go for someplace that's really been around a long time, such as Stonehenge, a canyon or a mountain range.

Vanderbilt Mansion in the Hudson River Valley of New York.

This is a Victorian Mansion, not so spooky but extremely opulent and gaudy, big and drafty. Built in 1894 by architect Stanford White for millionaire Fredrick Vanderbilt; the 50-room mansion represents for me the excesses of extreme Capitalism. But the 64-acre grounds, (now designated as a state park and national historic site) overlooking the majestic Hudson River has spectacular views, beautiful Italian-designed gardens and great walking and hiking trails right down to the riverbanks--- and it's conveniently right around the corner from my house for a quick snap!

I looked at everyone's photos and love them all. Here is the list!
