Week 4: Sun

The end of Week 4 of 2012 already . . . it'll soon be Christmas!!

I often complain about the weather in Scotland.  Not necessarily about the cold, dreich days we can have but about the unpredictability of it.  One day can be damp and lifeless and the next can be cold, crisp and sunny.  I love those sunny days - even on bitter winter days - because they produce the most beautiful skies with such a variety of colours.  I wasn't fortunate enough to see the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, which were visible in the sky near Edinburgh this week but I caught this fantastic sunrise on my way to work.  It was mesmerising.  Love it!  Enjoy.


'Til next week, Cheers,
Dot

Hello All,


   I had a crazy week and was under the weather (again) so I procrastinated with my picture. However, tonight I caught the sun as it was going down behind the mountains. I ran in the house and grabbed my camera. By time I got back outside I had missed the beautiful last rays of the sun going down and instead captured this beautiful sunset. I owe you one, I will get my sun picture this week but still wanted to share this gorgeous sky with you. I love only having to sharpen the image up and not having to do more then that. There are times when I get irritated with the power lines and telephone lines that run through my neighborhood, I keep picturing how much more beautiful this would be without them in the shot also.


UNNT,
Sammee


The theme for Week 5: Dance.

Week 3: Hands

Hiya,

Since I'm 7 hours ahead of Sammee in Utah I thought I'd try to post my Project 52 ahead of her today (haven't managed the past 2 weeks!).  It has been a busy, busy week with editing frustrations and I didn't shoot my Week 3: Hands images until today but I'd had a vision of it in my head all week and I'm pleased to say it turned out exactly as I'd hoped.    Not sure if ASL letters are the same as BSL but you'll get the gist even if they are not.


Hope you like it.

Until next week, 
Dot

Hello All,

  Well it has been one crazy week for me. I caught a cold that has been relentless and has turned me into a mucous making machine, wound up back at the hospital due to me mistaking certain events as part of my ongoing illness and then back to the E.R. again last night. I had dropped my daughter off at a friends for a sleepover and their Bull Dog got so excited when he saw her that he bit her....right through her fingernail. She tried to be a trooper and managed to stay at the sleepover for an hour and a half but then I got the call to come get her. Luckily they didn't have to remove the fingernail but she has to keep it clean and bandaged up until the wound fully heals. She was asleep on the couch and I was looking at her hands, these beautiful hands with elegantly long fingers. These sweet, slender hands that used to grasp my hand when they were small and chubby. I refuse to let go of her yet.....who am I kidding....I will never let go.....not when it matters. Dot is in charge of choosing this weeks theme, hug your friends, kiss your loved ones and enjoy every minute....catch you on the flip side:).

Cheers!

Sammee

See you next weekend for Week 4: Sun

Week 2: Something New

Cheers! It's the end of Week 2, this weeks theme was Something New. I received this wall hanging as a gift for Christmas. A girlfriend of mine just started quilting and I was thrilled to receive one of her first projects. My kitchen has Roosters in it so this fits in quite nicely.

I've decided that taking part in Project 52 is scary as it reminds me of how quickly time is passing by!!  It is end of Week 2 already and my Something New is my Hubby's most recent acquisition, a Danelectro Dano Pro in tangerine.  I love the colour of it!

See you next Saturday for Week 3: Hands

Week 1: B&W

Hi, this is Sammee and YAY, the end of Week 1 is here. I have been chomping at the bit to share my photo for this week. At least I was, then I woke up this morning and it had FINALLY snowed, which totally put the picture I had on the back burner. This was taken today on my Sony A500 with an 18-55 lense, edited with Bitchen B&W, Brightness 11, Contrast -16.

Hiya, Dot here with my photo for Project 52 Week 1: Black & White.  Couldn't resist a play on the words with this one.  Taken with my new Nikon D7000 and 50mm lens.  Edited with one of my favourite actions Coffee Shop Splendor B&W (with the Purple and Brownish Tint turned off). 

How many of you remember Boggle?  How many words can you find?

See you next Saturday for Week 2: Something New
