Week 40 - 14-21 October 2015
Shot of the Gold Coast at night from the hotel room at some ungodly hour of the morning. What a sight? More next week.
Our 10 year old brindle boxer Duke was once the picture of high energy. In his youthful years he wouldn't hold still long enough to take a nap. Now, many years later he spends most of the day slumbering...with his tongue out. It's not the shot I wanted but I'm weeks behind and I had to use something just to get past this one and get caught up again.
This week's challenge was to shoot an image SOOC. I'm used to doing a minor tweak or two to most of my shots. If I had my druthers, I would have done a slight crop to eliminate the dark corner in the lower right.. But I would not have made any other changes.
This was one of the best Ferris wheels - the light patterns were just awesome and I found a shorter exposure allowed me to capture more interesting light patterns.
Week 33/52 ~EP Project 52 ~ "Anticipation"
"Anticipation" ~ def: visualization of a future event or state
As it turns out, this has definitely been a week of much anticipation and anxiety for us. My son in law was waiting for news on a job that will ultimately relocate him, my daughter and grandkids to Georgia. Wednesday they received the news that it was a go. I sit here still today with such mixed feelings and emotions. I am entirely happy for them since it will provide such a better opportunity, but saddened that they will be that much farther from us. Because even though they didn't live around the corner from us, they were only 3 1/2 hours away as opposed to 8 hours now. But, I cannot help but feel excitement and anticipation for them in their new venture.
Don and I got up this morning to watch the sunrise. I decided just last night that I really wanted this shot for this week, don't know exactly why. Symbolic maybe to a new sunrise (beginnings) for my daughter and her family. But here it is.....a beautiful morning on Daytona Beach I share with you all..........with a hug.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

Theme Of The Week - Nothing in Focus
The London Eye from the back of a taxi on the Westminster Bridge
For this week I have a really bad quality capture.
I am so sorry for the lack of comments and posts. This week I'll catch up and continue to post once a week, as I used to.
Arthur is having some healthy problems lately.
First an otitis (an inflammation in both ears - I don't know if that translation is correct 'cause for that I used Google. Please, if it's not, let me know). I started the medications a couple of weeks ago and it should be healed by now but he still cries when I touch his ears. Or even when he itches.
Then, a week ago or so he woke up with a little something in the inner conner of his right eye... Like an allergy. Red and slithgly swollen. I'm using eye drops, but isn't working either.
And last but not least, just now we came back from our last walk of the day, as usual, and he was fine. I did everything I always do: changed his water and filled his bowl with food. He ate and went for his every-second-minute-hour nap. A few minutes later, he woke up and was limping (again, only translation I found, idk if it is the right one). I thought he was with the "sleeping" leg, like we do sometimes when stay in a wrong position. But then I tried to touch it and he cried. I still did some "exercises" with his leg, but couldn't find the reason of the pain. He can stand up, but then he won't move from there because he can't touch the floor with the right leg. If he starts to walk, kinda drag his leg. I'm really worried about that, especially because he never showed any sign of pain ou anything before. It was totally unexpected.
Tomorrow I'll take him to the vet to see what it is and take care of the other two problems as well. Hopefully won't be anything serious, but my heart is coming out of my mouth. Hate to see my little boy in pain and not be able to help him.
Anyway... Hope you guys have a great week!

Took last weeks photo and forgot to post it! We were a bit distracted! John and I traveled to Canada to see 52 weeker and moderator Renee Koch!
If you have ever see me post on Renee's photos, you know, my DREAM has been to have one of her pups. MY DREAM CAME TRUE!
Meet Gardenpath Ebony Young Warrior. AKA Owen around our house! This has been so good for Kiera! They are already running around the backyard playing!
Thank You Renee, for entrusting me with one of your pups!

This week has been crazy busy, but it's opening night for my the musical I am in at our school. :)
I went to the Christmas market in Essen with Tim's mother and her partner. We visited the Primark and I bought way too much stuff. It was so much fun! :) Look at all those Christmas lights, it was SO pretty!
John Bulette and Gillian Weeks came to YMCA Silver Beach to celebrate their wedding weekend with us! For many guests, this was their first experience on the beautiful Eastern Shore. The weekend was great, the food was delicious and the memories will last forever.
I am considering this one for Week 4 theme for delicate. Not sure if I like the composition but I do like how the petals look like the red is paint brushed.

Since last Polaroid Week I got a new position at my work which doesn't give me as much desk time therefore less time to get up take a walk the the sole purpose of taking photos. So with this past week being rather busy and/or poor weather and the fact I didn't realize it was Polaroid week until Wednesday...I managed to get some instant shooting in on the Friday! And having ten sheets of Type 72 (the unopened box of Type 55 is being used this summer) I went out and got five shots, not bad for ten year expired instant film, but one fogged on the one side I learned, you have to make sure your 545 back is nice and snug when shooting it with an Intrepid camera.

I swear that in the last week or so, Olive turned two. All of the sudden she's climbing the tallest slide at the playground and going down it all on her own. She didn't cry at drop off either day this week. She hugged Ryan's leg, said goodbye and was off. That was huge!
Her school brought in Children's Theatre of Charlotte to perform Balloonacy this week. Since she wasn't going to be in school the day it was performed, the three of us took off early from gymnastics to see it. She sat in my lap, still as a church mouse during the entire 40 minute performance. Occasionally, she would point or turn back to me to make a comment about what she was seeing but other than that, she didn't stir. I was amazed and so proud of her behavior. It was fun to see her understand and follow along with the play. I know Ryan got excited for all the plays and movies in their future.
Our friends Greg and Katya sent a sweet care package to her this week and to my surprise, she spent as much time carefully unwrapping everything as she did playing with the goodies inside. She hasn't seen a wrapped present since her birthday and it was fun to see her totally get the concept. Made me really excited for the holidays!
I keep telling Ryan that "what's this" must be the 20 month version of a 3-year-old's "why." It's all we hear, all day long. Sometimes she genuinely doesn't know what something is but sometimes it feels like she's quizzing us. "What's this?" she'll ask as she musses her hair. "Your hair," we'll tell her and she'll nod at us with a slight smile.
The biggest way I know she's truly growing up is that we can now successfully rationalize with her. She's still rear facing in her car seat and lately it's become a big battle. She doesn't want to be in her car seat and she wants to see what's in front of her. She wants to see us and she wants to be able to communicate with us more easily while in the car. It's frustrating for all of us but it's especially frustrating while in a parking lot with a toddler that is too old and too strong to simply bend into place.
Lately I've talked her through why she needs to get into her car seat. We'll discuss how we're hungry and what we want to eat. I'll explain that we can't get to an activity or see our friends until we get in the car. Maybe it shouldn't but it amazes me to see her think through her options, visualize something that isn't in front of her or immediate and still make a rational decision. We've been able to successfully have this conversation even when I've allowed her to get completely worked up.
For the very first time, the Abode of Divine Mother rejoiced an entire week as the whole ashram filled with so many sweet offspring. Wherever you looked, there were babies, toddlers, courageous pregnant women and amazingly open-minded parents and kids from all over the world who came (some for the first time) to spend their holidays together in an unusual and, for many, a very new environment. A daily schedule was created to be appropriate for parents, school-age and kindergarten kids. Activities such as puja, yajna, Bhagavad Gita games, Mother Earth meditation, bhajan singing, dancing, sharing, free time and games showed that spirituality on the bhakti path is not something boring, but brings fun, joy and learning too. The stone for a new era has been laid and is now waiting to be built upon! Jai Gurudev

Monday 10th December- Monday 17th December
The week that time stood still...
After having arrived home last Sunday, the week just past was pretty boring if I'm honest. I loved being home, I enjoyed the change and everything but in comparison to having all the uni work I felt like I had nothing to do. Don't get me wrong, I need the break, I worked to the point of being ill, but the week was just a tad empty. The weekend was lovely though. Lots of riding, exercise on a bike, seeing my boyfriend, hot baths and even more birthday presents! (I swear I'll be 22 by the time these celebrations are over!) The idea was great though, 21 presents around the house, one for each year. So much fun!
This image was taken on one of the long days in the middle of the week where I had lots of time to kill. I'm pretty happy with it!
Christmas next week everyone! Wooo!!!
This is my milking parlour,I put through 110 cows in one hour this afternoon, milking 24 at one time. I took this with my new fish eye lens, looks rather more interesting than the same shot taken at 15mm. See Nancy being miked in the comment box below, she calved 3 weeks ago and is giving 50 litres a day!
17/52 - 52 Weeks of Jedi
I had promised Jedi a soft serve ice-cream from McDonalds if he ever got his title in CCD Obedience.
Today, I had to pay up! He scored his 3rd and final pass with 92/100 and placed 3rd! What a good boy!
He sure enjoyed that ice cream... Little does he know, it was a one off!
26 weeks! i'm looking more and more pregnant all the time.
top is from goodwill. cords are old navy maternity. best shoes ever from salvation army.
The maternity selection at Goodwill is pretty sparse and mostly crappy, but I figure even if I find a few gems it's worth it to stop in weekly. I have been having a big hang up lately about getting dressed. Even though I'm pregnant I still want to look like myself, you know? So this top was a great find. totally Katie. nice fall colors, too.
Estas dos cartas ya están listas para ser enviadas. Solo falta meterlas en sus sobres y echarlas al correo. Saldrán bien pronto y espero que a sus destinatarias les gusten <3.
