For the girls' fourth photoshoot challenge of the contest, they were assigned to pose in a field of flowers aswell as asking to portray a flower of their choice in the process. Each girls' flower was represented through their makeup and along with each flower came an emotion that the girls had to represent in their photos.
Flower: Tulip (upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/Tulip_-...)
Emotion: Elegance
So which of the girls blossomed and which of the girls was a shrinking violet? Leave your critiques and callouts below!

26 weeks pregnant - 6 months! Not officially in the third tri-mester until next week but I have less than three months to go now.
I should probably post last week's shot before I take this week's, eh? :) Taken last Saturday, at 31 weeks, right before going for a day of shopping and yummy food with my step-mom. Scores for the day: lots of cloth, a yoga ball and yummy, yummy Thai soup! It was the same day M had to get up early and go to this bootcamp for new dad's class, which he loved. (Yay!) He said it made him even more excited to be a dad. :)
Week 15 - Food porn (Local dish)
Almost every restaurant in The Hill claim to have invented Toasted Ravioli
17th - 23rd December 2012
I went outside.
In five degrees cold.
And it was exhilarating.
This week has been mostly about evaluation and fresh starts. I was so down and I didn't quite know why until I stopped and slept and then thought about how and why I felt. I wrote a blog post about it, and a couple of people responded really kindly and I thank them for that. I learnt about Matthew Bourne's theatrical performances and fell in love with the light and the motion of his work. I redecorated my online homes and websites, turned my phone back on after four days of silence and got ready to embrace the Earth again.
I enjoyed hot tea, jam tarts and cakes, and watching late night fairytales with you.

2012 in 52 Photos.
I'm going to be uploading a photo a week. I tried something similar before with a photo a day but that was a bit unmanageable after a while.
So here goes!
Week One: Resolutions.
My 2012 Resolutions:
1. Find a 'proper' job
2. Get my own place
3. Get my driving licence
(4. Figure out how to make a long-distance relationship less long-distance. Sigh.)
* Update! Resolution 3 done and dusted! :D vroom vrooom *
{Exactly a decade ago yesterday my husband and I graduated from high school! Although, it was fun, I am so glad it's over and we are living our own life.}
As part of the Dogwood52 challenge the first week was to take a selfie. I chose to capture myself "cooking". I actually love to cook and, according to my wife, I am a pretty good cook. I decided to add a little bit of my humor into the image as well hence the crazy face and the frozen turkey. CC is welcome
From the same day as my belated Week 22 shot... Yesterday. But this is my project, so I make the rules. :p
Olive, our sweet, beautiful, smart girl, turned one this week. We were lucky to have so many people help us celebrate. Olive got extra play time and snuggles from some of her favorite out of town friends.
She was still sick on her birthday and you could tell she was struggling during our special waffle breakfast but she perked up after a nap. She loved playing with all of her new toys and absolutely loved having a whole cake to herself.
On Friday she started pulling her ear and was super cranky so we took her in for a quick check. They thought her ears were looking better and after an extra long nap on Saturday she was full of life for her birthday party. The mystery of her ear tugs was solved on Monday at her one year well check when her pediatrician spied a molar popping up.
She's been extra fun this week and I think it's a glimpse of what the year will bring. For her party, we took down the baby gate that stretched across the long step leading down to our living room. We had turned it into a playroom for our baby guests and Olive loves the space. She practices going up and down the stairs dozens of times a day. After about 24 hours of experimenting, she figured out how to go down the steps backwards, feet first. It was scary to watch her slide down the steps head first but I knew it was how she would learn.
Stepping back and watching is a challenge for me. You want to save them from injury and fear and tears. But whether it's learning to climb down steps or learning that sometimes she will have to wait to get something she wants, I know it's best to introduce her to failure and disappointment in these small ways before life hands it to her much more directly.
Olive is so very expressive. She babbles to us in her own language while gesticulating wildly. She looks us in the eye and lectures us while waving her finger around. We're never going to hear the end of it when she starts talking.
So it makes sense that the first words she says and routinely repeats correctly is "uh-oh" and "ow". Her little voice is sweet and soft and every time she says, "uh-oh" I swear my heart can't hold anymore joy.
Last week was our last weekly chalkboard update. There have been lots of lasts that I didn't notice until days or weeks later. Babies change into toddlers so incrementally that sometimes you miss the chance to mourn what is left behind. As I was working on the new format last night, it made me sad to think about not seeing her in front of the chalkboard every week. I was tempted to just keep at it another year but I know it's better not to. Last year, all she could do was lie or sit on that bench, now she does so much and her weeks are better expressed by a picture that captures that.
Monday 15th April- Monday 22nd April
I had so many ideas for this weeks photos, in fact I could easily have uploaded 3 others photos (after some editing) but this sums up the week and my thoughts the best. It was taken in Prezzo along the waterfront in Lincoln, where my boyfriend and I dined on Saturday night. Rose wine, a candle and some delicious pizza (and very fast service!) I've had to come back up to Lincoln one final time to hand in 3 assignments, say goodbye to people and attend the kayaking AGM.
I keep focusing on the future, the new job, the holiday and the big house move are all looming and I'm ridiculously excited but every now and again it makes a nice change to look back and I think that is what these few days are about. Reflecting back over the last 3 years of my life, remembering friends that I am no longer in contact with, housemates I haven't seen since last year, history modules that were great (and some that weren't) and mainly recalling all of the laughing, the amazing nights out, the paddling trips and the tennis matches.
So there were go Flickr friends, a bit of a waffling reflective post but I think that's how I'm feeling right now. My head is a bit jumbled with everything coming up so any thoughts I do have about the past are through rose tinted glasses.
Week 107 Assignment 2 for Take A Class With Dave and Dave.
Super Bowl Ad Here in America, the biggest sporting event of the year takes place this Sunday. It's also the biggest event for TV advertisers. Since we're not doing video here, we're going to pretend that it's the biggest event for print advertising too. Create an ad that would be worth the insane amount of money advertisers pay to run their ads during the big game. Your product or service can be real of fictional -- but remember, we're talking big money! Your ad needs to jump out and grab people and make them want whatever it is you're selling. You're free to add text, etc. to your ad -- but it must include a new image taken this week. Also, if you choose to create an ad for a real product, be creative -- don't just steal an existing slogan. Make it your own! :-)
I decided to create my ad around my most favorite of toys. I did think about doing this one as an Anaglyph (similar to yesterday's selfie) using the newer mode of 3D as seen during the Super Bowl, but just couldn't get it to work right.
Sorry it is 17 minutes late, but I was having some computer and internet issues. Anyone have an extra lap top they want to donate? LOL

I've been joking with my friends that with Easter approaching, I was having post traumatic stress flashbacks. Last Easter Olive was 10 weeks old and I'm pretty certain it was both when we hit rock bottom and when things started to turn around the tiniest of bits.
She weighed a little over 8 pounds and her reflux was getting worse. She rarely slept anywhere but on one of us. I remember the next week asking her new gastroenterologist if it was normal for a baby to cry so much. I tried to sound nonchalant when I squeaked out, "We have to hold her when she's awake or she'll cry. That can't be what normal babies do, right?"
Of course the doctor told us politely that all babies were different. No comfort to this mama who was nearing the end of her rope. Before we left for Marion, Olive and I had reached a nursing regression. What had become pretty comfortable and routine now was something that was painful and that I dreaded. I thought that once you got over that first month, nursing was no longer a struggle. No one had warned me that there would be setbacks and frustrations along the way.
For our trip to my parent's at Easter, I went out and bought a Rock n' Play because I heard it was a miracle worker and I really needed a miracle. It didn't help our "sleep only on a living being" nap situation but it did give us much better nighttimes. And best of all, she wasn't waking up to crib sheets covered in spit up.
But the one thing I'll always remember about last Easter is my mom and I getting into a near argument about what sort of baby Olive was. Grandmom said she was somewhere between "textbook and angel". I said she was grumpy and high needs. I guess my mom saw Olive's potential and knew what the future held.
A few weeks later Olive was on a new reflux regimen. She stopped spitting up quite so much. She could tolerate a little more solo time. She stopped taking every nap on us. We made mom friends. And just a month later she was unbelievably more happy, smiled all the tim and was always ready to play or be read to. It all changes so fast.
A year ago I could not have envisioned this Easter. Our happy, beautiful daughter playing in the sun, splashing in her water table, digging through her basket. She runs from room to room. She walks up to everyone, tilts her head, waves her hand and says "HI!" She signs and says stop and then a few seconds later yells "Goooooooooooo!"
I was overwhelmed this year with gratitude. Lucky to have such an amazing daughter who makes our lives so much richer. Thankful to have a fabulous husband who is also a great father. Awed to have grandparents who are so involved in our life and who love Olive so very much. My dad worked for weeks to clean out my brother's old room and make a nursery for Olive. My mom put together the cutest basket ever for her and had lots of her favorite foods on hand. My brother and his family made the long drive from Atlanta to be part of Olive's second Easter.
We are lucky beyond description. If you ever have a baby, and find that those first few months are harder than you expected. Or that maybe you didn't get the baby you had imagined. Don't be fooled into thinking that your today is also your future. Your future will surprise you in the most wonderful ways.

Week one:
October 1st - October 7th 2017
Self - Portrait
For anyone who knows me, I hate having my photos taken. I use to take photos of myself all the time when I was younger, but I outgrow it. I think it had to do with the crazy amount of weight gain. Alongside with the photography challenge, I am hoping to be a bit more active... at least one day a week (have to start with small realistic goals). Either way, I found a few lists on the interwebs, and the first challenge is a self-portrait. YIKES! I had to use my phone to distract myself because it was terrifying! Until next week...
Wow, only eleven weeks left.
You can't tell that easily here, but I buzzed the underhair off my head.
I went to Ft. Smith for a volleyball tournament, the guys always shave crazy designs into their hair, play for a couple days, then rid it.
I went two years ago in grade ten and was going to shave it all. I chickened out.
I wanted to this year, but it's grad and I want long hair for one of the grad ceremonies I'll be attending, so I left half.
You can expect it all to be gone sometime when I hit Uni.
I can't wait.
Week: 30
Circumference: Just over 41.5"
Belly Button: Still in. By the end of the day it's pretty flat.
Enjoying: Multiple Christmases with the family. (And multiple Christmas dinners, with seconds and no guilt.) Swimming - I get all the kinks worked out and any swelling I do have (not much) is gone.
Feeling: Pretty much up to snuff. Very heavy when I walk out of the pool.
Movement: Still varies although she's usually kicking around when I first wake up and then again around 9pm.
Sleep: Been getting plenty since it's Christmas break. My body is ready to be up around 8am no matter when I go to sleep. Too much sleep in one batch makes my hips and back sore. Daily naps help. Not sure how I'm going to adjust to going back to work 10 hours a day.
Food: Plenty of it with multiple Christmas dinners. Lots of Tropicana OJ with calcium. Milk has been easier for me to drink while pregnant, but 4 servings a day still gets to me. (When I'm not pregnant I can only handle 1 glass of milk every other day).
Anticipating: A new year - I always feel like its a fresh start. Part of me wants to be done being pregnant now - mostly just to know everything is OK. The rest of me is enjoying it. I'm sure two months will go a lot faster than it sounds.
