Developing: My Project 365 Photo Blog- Year 2
A Photo a Day Throughout 2011
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!

Glorious Sunrise
I decided to walk before work this morning, mainly to alleviate my ultra-stressed body. As I walked southwest down the street, I met a local older lady who walks every day. I said, "Good morning", and she returned the greeting stating, "Isn't it a glorious sunrise? You're walking the wrong way!" I turned around and witnessed the shades of red, pink and peach in the sky reflecting off the pillowy clouds. Couldn't have said it better myself!

Toadstool
Loved the textures and colors of the toadstool!
Lots of Red
Had this dilemma before. WHAT are these berries called?
Fall Mums
Love the splashes of color from fall mums.
Orbed
This orb weaving spider was spied outside a window at school.
River Reflections
Caught this scene while trying to find my first geocache with my husband. Sadly, this picture was the most we found.

Day 221- Storm Damage
We lost a huge branch from an oak tree next to our house. Come to find out, it had more rot than we'd thought. narrowly missed our electrical entrance, our porch and our son's truck. Luckily this was the worst of our damage. Sadly, I know many others on the East Coast were not as lucky.

Day 220- On the Mall
Another shot at my alma mater, from the mall. On a regular school day this would be packed with students on laptops, others playing frisbee, etc. Now if only OUR lawn looked this nice!
Day 219- Alma Mater
We dropped our oldest off at college today- his first day as a freshman. It's hard to believe how quickly the last 18 years have gone. But he's at my husband's and my alma mater, and we know he's going to love it there!

Day 218- Orange
Again, another flower I've no idea what to call. Suggestions?
Day 217- High Contrast Lace
This is not my first Queen Anne's Lace shot this summer. I chose to post this one as I kind of like the high-contrast, over-exposed quality of this shot. Looks a little dreamy!
Day 216- Pink
Once more, I know I should probably know what this flower is. And once more...no clue!
Day 215- Mallard Feather
This was the apparent prey at the Mother Nature CSI crime scene. I believe it belonged to a mallard duck. (RIP Mallard) Processed it with Fresco effect in PSE9.

Day 214- Raptor Feather
Found this feather and another at our camp last weekend. Did a little Mother Nature CSI; this was apparently the predator- some type of raptor.
Day 213- Thistle
Captured this on a foggy morning last week. Love the drops of moisture!
Day 212- Grasshopper
This little guy was on my windshield the other day. He even hung on all through town!
Day 211- Brown-Eyed
These are such a symbol of summer for me!
Day 210- Orange Cosmo
Another beauty from an end-of-school-year basket. Macro cosmo!
Day 209- Morning Glory
In June my ed. tech. gave me a variety of beautiful seedlings for my garden. This morning glory was among the offspring!
Day 208- White Lily
Still trying to get caught up after a trying summer! Bear with me through a variety of macro flower shots!

Day 207- Hazy Bay
The bay only looks this hazy when the humidity is high. Still very pretty, though.
Day 205- Perfectly Still
The water at this nearby estuary was perfectly still. Love the reflection of the goldenrod!
Day 204- Cattails
Caught these cattails near sunset.

Day 203- Converse
My daughter loves Converse sneakers, and just got an awesome deal on these dark gray ones. Processed this with PSE9 via the "Cutout" effect. Looks almost like a painting!

Day 202- Emergency
Found this lighted outlet at the hospital today. Not sure why it says, "Emergency". If you use it, does it have more power or something???
