Thanks for stopping by my blog! This is Year 2 of my Project365 blog. What is a Project 365? It's a photo challenge involving people from all over the world posting one photo per day throughout 2011. Some photographers choose themes, however for now my photos will be totally random. I will be shooting with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi-18-55mm, 75-300mm zoom and 100mm 2.8 macro lenses. I edit in iPhoto and Photoshop Elements 9. Not all photos are "perfect"; the purpose is to make photography an everyday event.
I am not a professional. Photography has always been a diversion of mine. I am a primary grade teacher and passionate tech. enthusiast. I consider myself an experienced amateur with LOTS to learn!
You will find links to other photographers in the sidebar- do check them out! I have also joined the Flickr EdTech 365/2011 Group, and you can click this link to view the entire pool. I will be posting my photos to their group pool, as well as here on my photo blog. I welcome your constructive criticism!
Guidelines
1. Photos are to be taken in 2011. 2. Post your own work only. 3. Images may be edited or unedited- your choice. 4. Keep your images, text, and comments appropriate for all ages. 5. HAVE FUN!

Flowering Quince
This bush from my schoolyard that boasts these beautiful salmon-colored blooms is apparently a flowering quince. Thanks to my colleague, Jane, who knew exactly what it was!
Nice closeup. Does the flowering quince smell nice? Also, you had asked me about my macro lens. I have a 50mm 1:2 Macro along with an extension tube (EX-25). This is for my Olympus. I don't have a macro for my Canon yet. A purchase for later on.
