About Project 365

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!

Day 68- Riding the Bus

Our school district offered transportation to this afternoon's professional development (held at one of our outlying "sister schools". Only 5 of us took advantage of it, though, which seemed like a big waste. Most people took their own vehicles, or carpooled. Kind of sad to see a big bus so empty!

Big Old Burl

This burl is growing on the side of a tree across the street. I searched the term online and found out that a burl is a tree growth in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner. Apparently burls are highly valued and sought after by woodworkers and the like. A burl results from a tree undergoing some form of stress. Aren't you glad that humans don't respond to stress in a similar way?
