Week 6: Brrrr....

Hello blog, old friend.... I'm here again.  But this time, you are being used for logging my photography adventures.  A friend teased me about you last week about how you aren't growing, changing.  Hopefully over the next year, we will see you grow and change by way of photography.  We'll see...

This ended up being my "BRRR...." entry for week 6 of the Photo 52 Challenge.  I think it is a good capture, not great, but good.  I was practicing framing and bokeh... bo-what?  Bokeh = the blurry background.  So much to learn....

And here are other runners-up photos that were considered.
Here's a wider shot of the same icicles.... I found the ripples along the icicles interesting.
My pom-poms in my front yard
My son and his BFF playing soccer in the snow.
The same son hiding in a barrel from his sister during a snow ball fight.

When I took this photo, it instantly reminded me....
of this photo, taken Dec 2007.  Memories!

Action shots are so hard but this one is SO funny!


Okay, just to show you how much I have to learn.... this shot and the next are from an outing my family took with my friend, Tracy, and her family.  She took similar pictures to these, but took them better.  Much better.  Go see and turn green like I do.  I have so far to go.


And these last four pictures... they were taken by Tracy, too.  Thank you for sharing them with me, Tracy, so I can share them with my friends and family.  (It's fun being in front of the camera sometimes!)
