week 13: 1000 STEPS FROM YOUR FRONT DOOR.
Hairy legs? Twin trunks of a New Zealand Cabbage tree/ti kouka (Cordyline australis).
Week #37 Muse - I have this fascination with old dilapidated buildings. For a number of years I have been driving through farmlands that have been earmarked for an airport. I have watched old barns and farmhouses deteriorate and get torn down. I have been trying to capture pics of some of these buildings before they completely disappear.
This was taken as I followed Raven around when she went 'to go get some air'. She got all four wisdom teeth pulled yesterday and she is in a lot of pain and miserable. Today she stayed in my parents room (coolest place in the house) with an icepack to her jaw and movies on all day.
This week has been really busy and not in the good way. lol. Haven't taken any good photos, and barely any photos at all. Here's hoping next week will be better.
Even though I haven't been taking photos, I have been writing a script with the Script Frenzy challenge. The challenge is to write a 100 page script in the month of april. As of right now i have 40 pages written and I've only started writing since April 1st. Before anyone asks... I'm writing a script about Four artistic friends in high school who have a reputation for prestigious senior project. Axel, who has been in love with Quathryn from a far his whole life, decides that he will have a full blown art show, dedicated to his favorite muse-in a final act to get her to go to prom with him. Along the way, his funny friends Mikayl and the confused Bjorn support his endavour, while also telling him how crazy he is. His best friend and neighboor, Jubilation Lorraine, has a different take on his whole project, but who knows what she's thinking in that crazy head of hers. Hopefully Axel will see what he really wants out of life and have a great prom. ...lol i suck at summaries. anyway, you get the idea.
This is a photograph of my sister Raven.
700_3903 week 14
This week's theme was "paparazzi".
A huge thank you to my husband, Brian, for taking my camera from me when Cari asked to take my photo and snapping this. I am not generally one who enjoys having their photo taken, particularly because I am extremely self-conscious and very shy. I also never know how to act in front of the camera...I try being all cute and awesome like all of you other ladies who take amazing self-portraits, but I just end up looking like a nervous weirdo.
I liked how candid this looked and figured it was appropriate for the theme.
I can't believe I'm in a maternity shirt...I still have tons of room in it, but man, I'm looking extra bloated these days.
Almost eight weeks!
Theme of the week in the 52.5 of 2010 group is "friends", and I figure you have to be pretty good friends to share one Ipod and one set of headphones!
When I see students sharing headphones it reminds me of jumper cables, like one is jump-starting the other one's brain. Or maybe downloading data from one head to the other? Maybe I've watched too much science fiction?
"yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured."
learning: to focus on the inside when the outside gets overwhelming.
these were taken over a period of 4 days. They were changing quite rapidly. The back legs becoming more developed and active. The front legs were beginning to appear on some. It was strange seeing one or two with only three legs, sorry I couldn't get a clear photo of one. They also started to look much more like little frogs but still with a tail.
Human Rights Week at the University of Essex, organised by our Human Rights Society, The week starts on 1 December with the students’ annual ‘chalking of the steps’ event where they write the articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in numerous languages, on the concrete steps of the University’s Colchester Campus.

Theme Of The Week - Wood
My parents' neighbor accidentally set his deck on fire. He gave the non-burnt wood to my dad, and somehow it ended up over at my house…
28/52: Sunset Eruption
Gunung Agung, Bali
October 7 - October 13
I'm back! After a dislocated knee and broken toe, I had quite an adventure. Indonesia was beautiful and this shot was taken on the tiny tropical island of Gili Tarawangan on the uninhabited side of the island. The East side of Gili T boasts a variety of hotels, cuisine, and some local shopping.
It was a beautiful day, and out of the heaps of sunset pictures I took while traveling, this was the one that stood out (aside from the horse profile shot that you'll see in the outtakes). Hope you like it and can't wait to catch up on everyone's photos.
All my life my dad has called my mom his duck. Every time I see a duck, I think about my parents and how much they love each other even after 30 years of marriage. :) This was my favorite of the girls that I took pictures of this week.

Only 50 more weeks, eh?
I've seen people use this concept in a bunch of ways so I thought I'd try it.
Reallly motivated to better myself in photography so we'll see what happens!
I've started making my own granola. This is from the second batch. The first batch was a bit over done (if you add coconut, don't put it in til the last five minutes or so).
Nice on black, click L to see. And delicious with greek yogurt!
For the Food and/or Drink theme at 52 in 2013.
Week 9 - Theme: Express Yourself - I love being able to express myself and my moods with nail polish!
This is one of the many masks we have around the house and in the yard. This is a big one, almost a foot and a half across, and one of my favorites.
For the Something that begins with M theme at 52 in 2013.
The heavy rain made this little guy's life a complete chaos. He was soaking wet and could not take off.
The theme this week was "Surrealism". It's been so cold this weekend, it was the perfect excuse to stay inside and play around with some oil, water and food colouring.
Week 2/52 52:2012
I haven’t been feeling well so Ryan has been taking over a lot of the Olive wrangling duties the last few weeks. I feel sad and guilty about this because what I want the most right now is to be with Olive, engaged in our normal routines.
I’m so thankful though that Ryan steps up to help us out without complaint and so easily. It makes me feel like I can take some time for myself to get back to where I’d like to be.
Other than adventures out with dad, Olive and I have been spending time at the library enjoying story time and picking out books. Spending summer afternoons at the library is one of my most favorite memories from childhood and it’s fun to be able to take Olive and watch her enjoy it, too. Olive likes to play with the puzzles and dress up toys but we also spend quite a bit of time each day reading book after book. I browse the stacks as she plays and she helps me check out our stack at the end.
One of her favorites from the library this summer is a book called “Gus the Dinosaur Bus.” It’s a story about a dinosaur that takes all the children to school and how sometimes dinosaurs aren’t meant to be buses. It looks like a product of the 70s but it was actually only written a few years ago. Olive really enjoys it and some of the ideas from the book became incorporated into the ongoing Tales of Finnegan, so the story will live on for quite some time.
When it was time to return Gus to the library, Olive was so sad. I explained that other children might want to read the book, too, and that we needed to give them a chance to check it out. She told me that “other people didn’t want to read Gus the Dinosaur Bus” and that we needed to keep it at home. Now when we pass the library she asks if we can check to see if the book is back on the shelf yet.
We’ve also been swimming with our friends. I’ve been hesitant to put Olive in water wings because I didn’t want to her to become dependent on them but she’s asked for them a few times since seeing some of her friends wear them. I’m glad I finally gave in and got them for her because she loves them and swims independently in the water with them. Instead of me holding onto her in the deep end, she swims on her own and is really working on kicking and moving her arms.
Last summer she was all about jumping off the side of the pool but this summer she’d rather be in it playing and swimming around. She tells me that she doesn’t want to go under water because it makes water go up her nose but she has no problem going under at swim class and is more than willing to jump off the side there. I guess it’s just her way of asserting a little control over her life.
It’s been fun growing our own veggies this summer. Olive likes to help water them and she loves being in charge of picking the ripe tomatoes every day. She pops the cherry tomatoes into her mouth straight off the vine and eats our container tomatoes like apples. The other night at dinner, she whined, “I want my veggies!” So we filled her plate high with zucchini, squash and mushrooms.
She was never a big fan of peanut but really started to love it after we began making our own in the Vitamix. We’ve also been making her homemade smoothie pouches that we freeze and take to the pool and park with us. After getting some at Aunt Tina’s house, she’s obsessed with fruit snacks, what she calls gummy gums. Just like last year she loves fresh, frozen blueberries and, unlike last year, she loves watermelon. Hotdogs are a favorite summer picnic treat.
She’s still not a huge fan of bread and bread products like muffins, cake and pizza crust. Even pancakes and waffles are only eaten with mild interest. She’s game for pretty much anything else though and we’ve been really lucky to hold off the picky eating phase for this long. Olive is very much the same now as she was as a baby as far as appetite. Though she enjoys food and is willing to try almost anything, she doesn’t consume much and rarely asks for a snack if she doesn’t see something tempting out on the counter. She’s only ever had one small sippy of milk in the morning and rarely drinks more than that in a day unless my parents make her hot decaf tea when they visit. Then she’ll easily drink two Contigos of it.
50/52: Ninja's Whiskers
March 10 - March 16
Week 50!!!
Wow two weeks to go to complete this 52 week project!
I am very excited about that, but at the same time, kind of sad for it's to end.
The other day I found Ninja's whicker on the floor and realized again how thick they were.
Imagine if we had whiskers on our face....
Anyways, I have no idea what I will shoot for the next few weeks, however I would like those to be something inspirational for my photography.
Thank you for visiting my photo stream!!

Week 9
Yet another busy week even though technically it was supposed to be my week off. pffft. Monday i got all zombied up for matts film. Claire and i went straight to his from work and she made me get a load of dirt from outside the petrol station to put all over me (she even put some in my hair and i'm not joking when i say it took me hours to look like a normal living human again. we held auditions for actors this week and met some really nice guys in the process so our drama is going to be epic. XD Uncle Tone booked the club for my birthday party. I caught up on walking dead courtesy of alex and claire and i gotta say so far its pretty awesome. Has a funny shopilfter in yesterday but she went away too fast so i pointed the finger of shame at her and we all called "she's a shoplifter" she's easy to spot again, she was quite large, had reddish hair, didn't speak a word of English and stunk to high heaven. She was lifting deodorant and a small part of me felt a bit sorry for her coz she definitely needed it.
Week 30/52 ~EP Project 52 ~ "Yellow"
I knew exactly what to do for this week. It was finding the time and waiting for a NICE day. Rain dampened my plans all week. Then when I finally went out today, the wind was relentless. LOL But here is my yellow happy face. :) I left it up do Don to pick between two images........I uploaded both...........he picked the other one. LOLOL Why do I bother asking the poor guy right?? Gotta love him.
In other news........my house is in shambles. PAINTING!!! I have had a very bright terrocotta wall for a few years now and I wanted it gone. So we are in the process of removing that color (three coats of KILZ...thank you very much). But well worth it. Oh and the mere horror of picking out a new color for the whole living area is enough to make you want to pull every single strand of hair out right from the root.......one at a time. I did think taking Don to pick colors was a good idea......NOPE!!! I ended up with 8 samples...you know...those little tiny containers that they charge you $3 EACH!!!! Yep, I bought all those samples. So, even though there was a small disturbance in the force....all ended well and a color was mutually agreed upon. Whew!!!!!
So off the Miami tomorrow for my grandaughter's birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese. My daughter (always the comic) reminded me to bring earplugs. LOL This should be FUN!!!
Okay Gang!! Here is wishing everyone and safe and happy weekend.
Hugs
Irela
