Dressed in Green -- Day 76

Me and my Little Friend -- Day 73

Me and My Camera -- Day 204

I didn't know what to take a picture of today, so as I was lounging across Mom and Dad's bed I saw myself in the mirror and thoughts, "I haven't done a self-portrait in a while." So that's why I decided to take a picture of me and my camera. :)

White Wall Tires -- Day 174

Tonight Dad, Amber and I went to a reception/question and answer time/dessert party for Jack Goodman, one of our candidates for United States Congress [If you live in Missouri, look him up. He's the man for the job!]. Some friends of ours arrived with their friends who own an old Packard. :) Old cars are pretty and I decided to get a photo of the white wall tires for my photo today. :)

Photo details: Canon EOS Digital Rebel, Exposure time 1/60 sec, Aperture f/6.3, ISO 200, Focal Length 28.0 mm.

Yummy Cookies -- Day 146 -- Winner of Viewer's Choice Poll

I saw an idea for a photo like this when I first started my project. Today I finally got around to trying it out. I had to wait for someone to make cookie and then wait for the oven to cool down so I could take the photo without melting my camera. :) I took the rack out and used my manual focus to get it just right and then I put the rack, cookies and camera back inside the oven and used the timer to take the photo. I like how it turned out. :) Anyone want to enjoy some cookies with me???

Reflection -- Day 134

I visited my neighbor's garden today. The roses have been in bloom for a week or two. I put off going over there because I knew they would be around a little while, but then the rains came and I hadn't been able to go over there. All the roses have taken quite a battering and most of them are looking a little droopy, but I still got some good photos. I've posted so many flowers on this blog, I decided to go for something unique for today's photo.  I saw this mirror ball and thought it would be neat to capture the roses in my photo and in the reflection on the ball. It didn't turn out exactly how I would have liked. I wanted the roses to be more prominent in both the background and the reflection. Maybe I'll go back and try again tomorrow. :)

Photo details: Canon EOS Digital Rebel, Exposure time 1/200 sec, Aperture f/5.6, ISO 100, Focal Length 55.0 mm.

On the Edge of the World -- Day 115

Amber and I and our best friend of 21 years, spent the afternoon together in celebration of her birthday. We roller bladed, ran some errands for Mom, got ice cream and posed for photos on together. It was a lot of fun and we all decided that this photo was the best one to portray our afternoon of just being together. :)

Me the Photographer -- Day 79 -- Winner of Viewer's Choice Poll

Today I decided to take a photo of myself. :) I thought I'd avoid it and wait until I was desperate, but today I guess I was just in the mood. I really don't like photographing myself. I like how this one turned out though. I shot it in the full size mirror in Emelyn and Ellise's playroom while they were napping. I should have washed the glass first. :) I flipped the image in Photoshop so now it looks like the mirror took the photo. :)
