My favourite photo from April last year.
Ol on his birthday,he actually wanted me to take this shot since I made him do it the year before !
Very proud he was of turning 6.
It's not really the photo I love so much as his expression.The I'm pretending not to look but I'm enjoying this really look !
OK Friday I'll be back with #5 from May.
I took at 7.30 in the morning just after the snow plow had pasted,we'd had a huge dumping of snow and were about to get another one.I liked how the light looks at that time of the morning and how the snow was blowing at the end of the street,so that you couldn't see to the end.
Snow blowing like crazy across the road,I decided this was the time to get back in doors !! I do love the little touch of orange from the dead leaves in the bottom left hand side.
It's my favourite because:
1, Just like January I hardly took any other pictures in February.
and
2. I just loved the bold shiny red against the paleness of everything else.
The Valentines tradition in my home is that my lovely husband places chocolate hearts all over the house before he leaves for work,for me to find.Some I don't find until later in the day as they're in obscure places ! I love that shell too,it's so smooth and worn by the sea.I picked it up off the beach when we went to see our friends for New year at LBI,NJ.I picked up a ton more but had to edit them !
A view from the front of our house and below is out the back,the fence is nearly buried ! Excuse the over exposed sky.It doesn't seems like we've had a lot of snowstorms,the kids haven't missed any school but there's a lot out there.......I was sinking up to my thighs in the back garden and there is a good 2 and a half feet on the roof of the house.
We spent Saturday morning clearing snow and i just had to try and capture the icicles on Stu's eyebrows !!
Going in Winter is fun,the summer is so busy that yes you see things but the animals are hungrier in winter so they know cars mean food.......
The wild boar are funny....and smelly !
You aren't supposed to get out the car and strictly I didn't,I opened the door and stood on the door sill without my feet touching the ground !! There were no other cars around so I wasn't holding anyone up.I just wanted to get a shot without the fence in view and anyway we brought them hot dogs which they much preferred to carrots !
I've posted that one as my photo a day for December 26th but I'm showing it again as it's my blog and I can do what I like and it's my favourite of the day!
Above is the 30th,it's a blurry shot but this is the view I saw every morning from my kitchen window,it's the tree in my neighbours garden but in the early morning light it looked really pretty.I was too lazy to get the tripod,hence the blurry shot!below is the 31st,new years eve,we had friends over and I really didn't take many pictures but this is the one I'm using,no he's not blowing me a kiss he's showing me his breathe,any excuse to BBQ !!
