P52: Week 13 ~ Details

We have the coolest pussy willow tree in our yard.
The little "fuzzy" pussy willow has already flowered: (I am soooo happy to have my new - 'new' 7D!)

Today, a new little bud appeared...so I had to add this stage:

Linking to P52:

Oh oh....trouble in 7D city....(dang)

I know I am not the best photographer...but, my photos are all starting to look like this: (SOOC)

The background is more in focus than the subject I am focusing on (among other issues).

And...Here is an attempt at a still shot (My focus through the lens was in the middle of the orange):

After a few of these...the automatic-focus on my 28-135 kit lens quit altogether. A trip to Best Buy and they told me they will order a new camera and lens for me. This lens is not my favorite...they would credit $200 toward another lens. Checking what BB had in stock, I didn't see anything much better.
I will wait 3-7 looong days for a replacement camera and lens to arrive.
Well, at least I will have time to get things done around the house!
(BTW, I placed an order for a 50mm prime...super excited to try that out, as well!!)

Project 52 ~ Week 12: Hunger

We had so much fun at the family get-together and celebrate Carsen's 4th birthday this past weekend!! He is usually not one to feed himself. Diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, he prefers others to feed him. It was such a joy to watch him dig into his birthday cake and devour that almond flavoring!! (YUM...I liked it too!)

Project 52 ~ Week 11: The Eyes of March

Eye (lashes) of Carsen...Sweet little guy just turned 4 years old! LOVE him!!

Project 52 ~ Week 10: Be Still

Be Still

A weekend away, while my husband took a nap, I put the hotel glasses in front of the window to snap a few photos. I love that the glass looks like it offers a 'drink of the city life'...and realize, in the base of the glass, the still cityscape is more clear than anything else in the photo. (It was a surprise to me when I downloaded this to the computer).

Close Up

I had to add this one, too, for my keeping...showing the still clouds in the glass....(A little sip of Heaven).

Project 52 ~ Week 9: A Great Leap

This week's theme is A Great Leap. It was only 7 degrees outside, so I was surprised to see that the sunshine brought these water droplets to life... they appear to leap off the icicle as they escape to play. I love how the blue sky peeks through the evergreen trees in the background.

This last photo reminds me of a ballerina as she LEAPS in her springy steps with an Entrechat.
