About Me

My photo
I am usually typing on a computer most of the day, but today I am trying my hand at a new project: My 2011 365-Day Photo Journey. I gained a love for photography when I was required to take a fine arts class for college--I chose photography. The course required a lot of work--Professor Loehr saw to that--but it opened my eyes to a new world. It's been many years since I took that class and I don't know how much I actually remember, but following Laura Delagal's 365 Photo Journey and watching my niece's love for taking pictures has peeked my interested in photography again. Although I don't have a professional camera, I did receive a really nice Sony digital (point-and-shoot) camera from my sweetie for Christmas this year. Going through some difficult times in my life, I thought that undertaking my own 365-day photo journey might be a way to relieve a little stress and have some fun with my new toy. Through this journey I will capture some of life's joy and its pain, but I will also be able to refocus the lens of my life on the many wonderful things that God has created. Well, here goes. Wish me luck!

Day 201 - July 20, 2011

Bridget's Paw
Sometimes it seems impossible to take a picture of Bridget.  She is fast as lightening.  And as soon as she sees the little light on the front of my camera, she buzzes around so fast that all I can get is a pic of her backside.

Bridget is most definately a lap dog, and occassionally she enjoys laying on the floor or on her pillow.  This evening she wanted up in my lap.  She had her paws resting on my legs.  She kept turning her face away from the camera, so, I took a picture of the only thing I could get . . .

Day 158 - June 7, 2011

Bridget trying to get cool.
As you saw the on June 6th, our house has been rather hot due to the fact that that the AC at my house been out.  Bridget and I have been about to roast!  I pulled out several fans and borrowed a window unit from a friend to try to stay cool.  We spent the night with my neighbor one or two nights in order to get some sleep.  Here's Bridget with her double coat of fur lying in front of the fan trying to stay cool--poor baby!  I was just before trimming her down when we got the AC fixed.

Day 16 - 1/16/2011


Bridget, my sweet Pomeranian

I am late posting Day 16 because I have spent most of the past couple of days taking care of my mother.  My selection of photos is also limited because I can't get away from the house, so my choice of subjects is my mother, my dog Bridget and my boyfriend (who didn't really want to be a candidate lol) or the dead leaves and grass in my yard.  I took a cute picture of mother and Bridget, but unfortunately parts of it were not in focus. So, I chose this photo of Bridget.  She is such a sweet little thing, but in this pic, she looks like she's charging off on some larger-than-life mission.  Maybe she was; maybe she was going to keep mother company or was wanting me to let her go outside to do her business.

Maybe I'll get to venture out a little bit father today.  Praying that mother's day improves.  So far, it's not a good day.  If you believe in prayer, please say a prayer for her.  Thanks!

Day 11 - 1/11/11

Today was the first sunshiny day we've had in a while, but the photos that I took during the middle of the day didn't seem to compare to the ones that I took this evening at twilight.  I recently read an article that talked about the special effects of taking pictures at sunset and twilight.  So, when I left work today I thought I'd see what kind of pictures I could take. Since I normally leave work this time of year when it's completely dark outside, I don't usually have the opportunity to take many pictures at this time of day.  It was neat to see the outcome of my photos.  I took about 40 pictures through out the day and froze my little fingers off doing so (SHC has a million and one photo opportunities) and, one again, I really had a difficult time picking out a POD.  I picked a couple for publishing that I thought might be photo worthy.  As I get more confident in my photographic ability, perhaps it will become easier to pick that one special photo as a POD.

Bridget - my Pomeranian
 Bridget came up to me while posting my pictures, and I just couldn't resist adding her cute face to the mix of photos.  Well, tomorrow is a new day, and I'm looking forward to what the lens of my camera will find.

Day 3 - 1/3/2011


Bridget


 Bridget is my 10-year-old Pomeranian who was given to me in 2006. She weighs a little over 5 lbs and is such a sweet little girl; you can't help but fall in love with her. My mother never cared much for dogs, but when she saw Miss Bridget, she fell head-over-heels in love with her! She keeps my mother company during the day, which is great, and my mother dotes over her and spoils her rotten! Come 5 o'clock, Bridget starts looking for her momma. Once I make it home, I can rarely go anywhere in the house without her tagging along behind me. We went for a long walk this morning, and then she sat by me on the couch while I played on the computer. She's sitting on the couch waiting for me to come back and sit by her for a little while before she goes outside. This little lady is loved a lot, and we know that she loves us unconditionally!
