Day 25 - Strange places to sleep

The last few weeks our cat Todd has found himself a new spot for his evening naps.  Tonight I took the opportunity to document it.

In terms of the actual photo quality, it's definitely not my best shot, but I feel like it tells a tale... a tale of the kitty who thinks the baby's changing area in the bathroom is a great place to chill out.

Day 24 - Catching Up

I've been a very bad blogger over the last few days... excuses could be provided, but the reality of it is, I'm bad at putting up posts on the weekends.  That doesn't mean I wasn't out taking photos though!

I caught B unaware one evening and snapped this shot while he was deep in thought.  Even though the lamp is really over exposed, I like the overall dark feel of the photo.

On sunday a friend and I went to the local wedding fair to check things out.  We were there late in the day, and as the booths were shutting down, one of the ladies asked if I would like one of the bouquets that they had on display.  Score!  So I was able to bring home this lovely collection of flowers. 

This is a shot of "the ring" ... no, not THAT ring! ... this is the ring that B gave me for Christmas that I finally got back after sending it in to be sized.  Isn't it lovely?  It's our daughter's birthstone.

And finally, my trusty side kick.  She's getting older and older by the day, but if I'm puttering around the house doing something that might be even moderately interesting she's near by.  (and hence a very handy subject for my photos!)

Day 20 - a focus on a new toy

This toy was given to us as a hand-me-down from Megan (thanks Megs!) and has been sitting in a closet until the time was right.  Today, I brought it out for Jamie to play with, though I think she's still a little too young, and all she did was grab at it and bang it around.  

Before shelving it again, inspiration hit, as I realized it would be a good subject for today's photo!

Day 19 - from a tired mom

Granted, I took this last night as the wee one refused to go to sleep (she's teething).  Of all the shots I took, this is my favorite because I feel like it was a stolen moment.

Day 18 (and making up for lost days)

I took a bit of a break from my camera over the weekend, mainly because I was on the go and had all my stuff packed up, including my laptop!  So today I would like to make up for it.  Our little girl seems to be back in the throws of teething pain, and when she's not holding her jaw and moaning, chewing hard on her fingers, she's a happy little, drooling, camper.  

I also wanted to play around a little on my new version of Photoshop.  Having an absolute attraction to eyes, I tried to highlight Jamie's baby blues...

And finally, I also played around with adjusting the image in Photoshop... which do you like better?

Day 14

Still hanging at the hotel and all week I've been watching two eagles who perk on of this tree just outside our window and swoop down to the bay to catch their meal.  So today I decided to camp out and take photos of them, in hope I would catch them in action.  But it grew wet and cold, and I grew weary.  Here is the best shot of the day.  One straight out of the camera, the other a close up crop.

Day 13 of 365

Another busy day.  As we were winding down in the evening, we let Jamie try out her new inflatable bath.  She splashed and giggled and had a blast....
