Project 365: 61/365 - Sickness & Flowers

Project 365: Photo Edition - That Kinda Week



Seems like everyone is coming down with something these days. I can't be sick this week, so hopefully it holds out til the weekend.

Project 365: Video Edition - Into the Sunshine



I love Christmas lights. And sunflowers.

Project 365: 54/365 [Dedicated to Phil]

Today continues February's month of dedications. If you haven't already, follow my blog on Blogger, then leave a comment to let me know if you would like a photo or a video dedicated to you this month.

Project 365: Photo Edition - Valentine's Hydrangea
Dedicated to blog follower Phil



My husband gives me plants, not flowers. Yes, this makes him ROCK because plants last longer than flowers. :o) This is dedicated to Phil because: If you have a lady in your life (even if it's your mom or sister), give her flowers often. It'll mean more to her than you may realize.

Project 365: Video Edition - Bubble



This is some of the best-smelling body wash I have ever tried. It's eucalyptus spearmint from Bath & Body Works.

Project 365: Photo Edition - First Snowman of the Year



Because I can't leave well enough alone and because I am intrigued by the possibilities of taking a video a day, I decided to proceed doing a video AND a photo a day. After all, they are different mediums and produce different artistic results. We'll see how this progresses and if I drive myself crazy in the process. So here we go...

Project 365: Video Edition - Happy New Year!

49/365 Sunlit Flowers

37/365 Lilies

A lady donated these to the church office because her cats were eating the leaves.

2/365 On their last leg

These are the Valentine's Day flowers my husband got for me and my daughter. This was their last day on display.

------------------
By the way, I just imported all my NaNoWriMo blogs to this one (2005-2008), so if you're interested, there are links to them in the sidebar. :o) Ah, it's so nice to have everything in one blog!

10.22.08 Snowy Marigolds

I'm not sure what the fascination is with snow on flowers, but I have it, and these were just lovely after the first snow of the season.

10.16.08 Still trying

These flowers look like they're fighting autumn and giving up a last bloom for the season.

9.3.08 Birthday flowers

A girl really can't get enough flowers, don't you think?

8.30.08 Orchid under water

This is a real orchid at the Broadmoor Hotel, decor for a formal event that was going on the night we were there for a Stick Horses in Pants show. It is submerged under water in a columnar glass vase, illuminated by a floating candle. Absolutely breathtaking.

7.21.08 Coffee Cake Still Life

Here, I can showcase several things at once:

1. gorgeous sunflowers my dear husband bought me for no reason whatsoever
2. a slice of coffee cake which is derived from a recipe from my friend Karen
3. the plate I painted at a ceramics shop with my daughter this year
4. my "Dreams" mug from the 2006 Women of Faith Conference

7.15.08 Almost gone

A few petals, still hanging on.

7.14.08 Yellow flowers

I want to say these are orchids, but aren't orchids purple? Maybe there are yellow ones. Either way, they were very pretty.

7.11.08 Glasses at the Hilton

Visited my brother and sister-in-law over the weekend, and my mom, my son, and I stayed at a Hilton hotel for the night.

NOTE: Yes, backposting again! So sorry to do this once again.

7.2.08 Busy, busy

I walked by these flowers and thought, "Yes, they're pretty, but they're not very interesting." Then I noticed several bees feeding on them, and viola! My picture of the day arrived!

6.4.08 Purple iris

I've been seeing these popping up all over town, and today I stopped and finally captured one.

5.20.08 Dandelions

I don't care if they ARE weeds. I still think they can be pretty. (Of course, this isn't my yard...)

5.1.08 Snow white

We had a sudden and heavy snowfall around 8:00 a.m. By 10:00, everything was blanketed in a thick layer of white. It stopped snowing at about 11:00. By 1:00 in the afternoon, the sun had come out so brightly, it melted practically all the snow away. But I did get a shot of these snowy blossoms before the evidence disappeared.

3.23.08 Happy Easter
