Day 5 : From a High Angle

When I get home at night, I normally snuggle with my gorgeous boy and we play on the carpet while I watch “the Wild” on the TV in the background (I know bad mommy)

I took this picture of him while I was standing over him and fell just a little more in love with him than I was 5 minutes before…

 

Day 4 : Something Green

I run several accounts at work and at any given time I have several notes and contact reports going at the same time… this is where my nerd shines tho!  My life is run with HIGHLIGHTERS, I love me a highlighter cos it gives me an overview at any point of what is going on in my work life…

My green highlighter works over time (use it for my biggest client) and I have to replace it often…

Day 3 : Clouds

One of my favourite things to do is to find shapes and pictures in the clouds.  I have spent many a happy hour doing just this whilst lying on a blanket on the grass with friends and family…

Today’s pic is not in any way related to that past time tho… Today’s pic was taken the other night as I took my furry babies out for the night time wee’s… it was a hot night and the moon was SO BRIGHT.  And the light shining from the moon touched these clouds around it ever so slightly so you could just make out that there were clouds gathering with a soft promise of rain… Just beautiful!

Day 2 : What you wore today…

I work in a very operational environment, my normal attire is black trousers, a smart top and black peep toe pumps.  Every now and then tho, I girly up and wear some heels (mostly on days when I know I’m gonna be predominently office bound).  Today I’m wearing my mary janes – LOVE them!

 

I’m also not normally a nail polish on my fingers kinda girl, BUT the other day I was doing my toiletry shop and saw that Revlon have got an awesome new line of varnishes – well!  I fell in love and this is what my finger nails are wearing today….

To get back into the swing of things…

I’ve seen some other bloggers have been doing a 30 day photography challenge and whislt I gather it was supposed to start on the 01st November and I’m a few days behind, I figured it would be a great way for me to get back into the swing of things and get some regularity back into this here blog…

SO!

I will be starting the photo challenge somewhat late… so without further ado, here is my Day 1 photo entry – a self portrait :) Why is it that it always takes me a few takes to get one I like – my arm isn’t as steady as I like to think… too much of blurredness! Hahaha!

Attempt # 1 - FAIL

Attempt # 2 - FAIL

Aaaahhhhhh, finally a decent one :)

Hmmmm, not to bad sweetie

A whle ago I saw a post that Karly did on light painting and was dying to try it… BUT I felt like my photography skills might not be *quite* up to it…

On New Years Eve (Old Years Eve dependant on what you call it) when we were in heaven bringing in the new year watching wildebeest frolic on the plains while the storm built above them, our nephews were given glow sticks and sparklers to play with – so I though – light painting!  Time to try it!  So I took out the camera set the shutter speed to super slow and viola – my first attempt at light painting!

I think they came out ok, but I’m going to practice some more… have you ever tried it?  I would love to see your attempts…
