Day 16 ~ October 26th

Again today looking for fall colors on a blustery day....and well it's just me to include Snaza into the picture.... Can you guess who to vote for? That's easy! John Snaza. I was hoping that the background and foreground wouldn't blend as much as they did....but it turned out pretty good.

Monday Oct 25th

It was a cold blustery Pooh kinda day....Halloween is around the corner...so I wanted something that represented the change in weather. This was close, but a difficult day for photos..so I decided to work on photoshop skill..or lack of. I converted to B/W and decided to bring some of the vine colors in.

Day 14 - October 24

A gnome, you aren't seeing things. I had to incorporate this "silvery" character into my daily photo challenge. Our son's gave us a surprise 25th wedding anniversary party last night. And we received this gnome from our niece's....we have a standing joke...trade...gift exchange of lovely gnomes with our neighbors and yes they are family. Rachel put alot of work into this redecoration of the gnome we placed on their barn a few weeks back. I will proudly cherish this gnome....but just wait.....the neighbor''s 25th is a couple of years away!

Day 13 ~ Oct. 23rd

Our Friday Long Shot was the word "Umbrella". So with the help of Dave and several umbrellas I used an umbrella, the rain and a rain barrel to create this photo.

Day 11 and 12

No pictures...So 3 of 12 days are photoless...I will work on better odds for the completion of the project.

Day 10 ~ October 20th

Tonight was our photo class with Barb...and her challenge to us was to walk around down town Olympia taking as many pictures as necessary in the "Program Function". I have never used that function so I learned something new and am going to try and use the function more. I like the way the light reflects the building and the light catches the stain glass.

I just like this...no tripod

Not part of the picture of the day...but I did take this at the Portland Zoo...and when I saw this I wanted to freeze the water...but I didn't have the tripod (sorry Barb) but tried anyway and felt successful at it. It was fun to walk around the zoo....my sister is enjoying learning her new camera and we were able to share these settings with her on this. Fun to share with her...keeps the learning alive.

Day 9 - Tuesday the 19th

I picked up the camera today! Yea. I was behind in my posts....but I committed to getting everything downloaded. I saw this last week and was kinda excited about taking it...but I felt awkward taking it...I felt like I was invading someones space..their home. I should have slowed down a little and taken the picture lower. Something to keep in mind for next time.

Day 8 - Monday the 18th

Not such a good day...I didn't take the time to take a picture. I committed myself to this...so confessions is part of it.

Day 7 ~ Oct 17th

A day at the Portland Zoo with my sister and family. I had promised my nephew over the summer we would go..and finally. I love this zoo especially the giraffes. Today I found them out walking on a beautiful day and of course I saw the reflection and just had to have the picture.

Day 6 - Saturday the 16th

Day 6....We had a photo shoot with a family of family friends...We had a lot of fun with it. I had hoped to get out and get more photos but ended up in Centralia at some antique/junk stores and found some props...and too late to take pictures along the way. But some fun stuff being delivered this week. Yea!!

Day 5

Day 5 photo (Friday the 15th) and I did sign wave but I thought I would spare you. :) On my lunch hour I found some signs of fall...Sky a little blown out, but the colors were amazing. I found a picture for next week I am excited about as well. Tomorrow we have a photo shoot...lets see what the weekend brings! Take care everyone! Deana

Day 4 Photograph

Day 4....can you guess what I did that day? We could see lots of these over the next few weeks. Before I got there I thought about what I see....and it's easy...cars. So I wanted to capture a tire in motion and of course the person who will be our next sheriff....JOHN SNAZA! Hey did you catch the editorial on 10-15-10? If not see the Olympian!

Day 3 Photo

Day three of 56 pictures for this class challenge. Tonight during class we drew a word from a bag....mine was incognito. Superman behind the sunglasses! I think you can find anything down town Olympia.

Day Two Photo

My second day photo...not a favorite. But I did meet my goal~a picture. My time can be limited so some of these pictures will have to be on my short lunch hour, a little crunch time to find one. But I felt successful that I found one.

Another session with Barbara and the challenge is a photo a day. This may be difficult..but the challenge is on. I decided to find things that captured me...and nothing new a reflection was my focus today. There were ducks in the water, but a vehicle scared them away before I snapped the picture. I was committed to the shot and still went with it.
