4/52 Winter fun.

Winter sure is fun when it's this warm out (in the 30's!), and we've been taking advantage of our little "heat wave" this week.

3/52 Winter's beauty.

I seem to forget every year how stunning snowflakes really are. What a marvel of nature!

These were all taken with my "poor mans macro," i.e. my lens flipped around and held by hand. It is SO hard to keep everything still enough to get anything in focus!

2/52 Sewing and some stations.

My girl was SO proud to be using a sewing machine for the first time, to make a bag for her new doll.

This is one of many "stations" that the kids created for various trucks and construction equipment. Love these blocks!

1/52 Scenes from a playgroup.

And so it begins again. I am thrilled to be doing another 52 weeks of photos! I think you'll be seeing lots of black and white over the next few months. It's so dark at this time of year in our house, which means noisy pictures, and I prefer B/W noise to color.

52/52! Happy New Year!

Well, with this post I have successfully completed my "project 52." Quite an accomplishment, as I'm a really good starter-of-projects, but finishing them has always been a challenge for me! Plus, I had so much fun doing it that I'm going to just keep going with it in 2011. Thanks for peeking at my stuff!

These shots were taken for a creativity challenge at Clickinmoms, titled "off with their heads." My daughter is reading her first "real" book here, so these are special pics to me.
