Cassel Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Do you want to challenge yourself to take photos every week for a year? Maybe you want to practice your photography skills, or just try to capture "ordinary" daily occurrences. Let's just encourage each other. This is a no-pressure thread, and you can share the photos you took or the theme you are going for (if you are going with a theme). And if you don't want to share the photos yet, and only showcase them once they are in a montage or a scrapbook page, you can just say that you did it. And it is ok to start your 52 weeks at any time. It does not have to start in January! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Seeber Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I'm transferring this here from the January thread. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Thomas Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) Welsh Snowbrops. Image taken on the 29th January. The Daffs are slower to bloom, but the native milk white Snowdrops are daintily blooming across the Welsh countryside.

Corrie Kinkel Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I too transferred my photo from the January thread to this one, maybe I was a bit early in posting the week wasn't over yet. It is a photo of my family's dog and a cutie! 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Ewart Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) Week 5 isn't still January? Oops. I'll have to go retrieve mine too. actually I thought it was all one long thread. This is a good reason for me to be late in posting going forward. After a thought, I"m leaving it there. Because for me the week starts on Sunday making more than 1/2 the week being still January. and it's physically the 5th week of the new year. That's my lopsided logic.

I just thought it would be a little easier to find our stuff by dividing the thread in months! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaving it there if that's okay. I'll start Feb as week 6. I can understand dividing it up. If it was one long post it would 100's pages by the end of the year. I should've used my head on thinking about that. And I'll be careful to watch for the transitions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also post them in your personal gallery as a way to have them all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Ewart Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) P52 Challenge Week 6 Today I have a Jack and Jacks = creamers! I had wanted to show a nicer one I have but it has terrible reflections on it (bad photography) so I'm going to try them again. I have 3 more Jacks to do. And since it's the new month, I'll show where I'm at in my deck of cards. That tea is getting really cold by now. hahaha, I actually had to really water it down for it to "look" like tea. The font I used is called Dept from Creative Fabrica. Not super curvy, but just enough curves...like the little creamer. BTW the cutie little t-pot will show up as one of the Queens. I used a gradient (foreground-background) for the background and for the frame too, but I inverted the gradient on it. there is a tiny spot in the middle that is the same color so in effect disappears a bit. And I had to change the color of clubs, as this strange round deck had green clubs (Ewww). Oops, I forgot to straighten the card deck shot.

Cornwall was the worst, with continous wind, fog and what the Cornish call mizzle ( drizzle). Mind you it didn't deter us from going out and about, even the to beach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Thomas Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 A mature female Snowy Owl dropped in yesterday, whilst I was out back in the trees filling the bird feeders. It's quite unusual to see them perched in trees. They are either on telegraph poles, fence posts or on the ground. I must say that I'm overwhelming impressed with all the creativity being posted. Such diversity. Well done to you all. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! It has always been my philosphy to be inimalistic with my pages, in order not to distract from the subject in hand in any shape or form. This page wasn't any different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Seeber Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) Presenting a new member of my small feral colony, "Little," the kitten on the right. Short and very fluffy, it bounces around as kittens are prone to do. 😆 On the left is "Bae" who is not much older than "Little" but was flummoxed when the smaller one showed up and stole the only toy!

Sue what a wonderful shot of this owl! I have said it before; I envy the surroundings you live in. I know it has a harsh climate but it rewards you with its beauty and we are lucky that we can enjoy it through your photos. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt privilaged and humbled when this beautiful female graced the trees out back. She even allowed me to take a few shots, before flying off. I certainly do appreciate how lucky I am. Give me the harsh climate over the Welsh weather any day of the week. The UK weather is the only thing I don't miss about home. 2 hours ago, Corrie Kinkel said: Sue what a wonderful shot of this owl!

Corrie Kinkel Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 This week my Amaryllis opent its flowers and it looks gorgeous. The big bulb has 2 stalks with thick fat buds and one of them has its 5 flowers open now. The other stalk is shorter and the bud is still closed, but it is seldom that both stalks are in flower at the same time which make the period with flowers much longer. With all the miserable weather outside it is nice to have some color inside the house. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
