Week of 7/18 to 7/25 - O is for ORANGE

Well believe it or not the year is already halfway over, which also means we are also halfway through the alphabet. We are starting off the 2nd half of the year with the letter O.. and the first word that came to our minds with the letter O was.... ORANGE.

What in your area is Orange?

Corinna's Photo: *Okay, I just want to say here that this flower looks more yellowish now that I have seen it here on the blog, but it REALLY looked orange when I took the photo! It's very strange. Don't want you all thinking I'm trying to cheat here! ha ha

Week of 07/11 - 07/18: Part 2 - NOUN

The 2nd theme for this week is an easy one... NOUN. That's right, all you need to do this week is take a picture of a person, place or a thing. Now if that is not a totally wide open topic I don't know what is. Can't wait to see what you all come up with this week.




Corinna's Photo: I struggled with this one, partly because I waited until the last minute and partly maybe because it was TOO easy. But we just had a rain storm, and I think that afterwards things always look more interesting through my camera lens so I went outside to see what I could find. Then there were so many interesting things that it was hard to choose one!

Edie's Photo: I will admit, this was taken last week before my family was temporarily limited to one car. However I really love this shot, and I love this place, so I thought it would be a good image to go with the theme this week.

Week of 07/11 - 07/18: Part 1 - NATURE

As promised here we have a double post this week with the letter N to get us back on track with the alphabet. The first theme is NATURE... What sort of Nature do you have near you? When you think of Nature, what comes to mind?

I will admit when I think NATURE I prefer to take pictures of mountains and trees, or of flowers and animals before I take a picture of an insect. Unfortunately having only one family car this week made me cancel any possible trips to the mountains and limited my "nature" search to my own somewhat suburban neighborhood. I found this guy building a web, and although Im not found of the creepy- crawlies, I think they do a good job of representing "Nature".

week of 6/27 to 7/4 - M is for MACRO

Ok sorry for missing the post last week everyone.  I (Edie) had a couple of personal matters that came up that took priority.  We are going to finish off the "M" this week, and then next week pull a double duty and have 2 topics for "N".

This week we choose MACRO as the theme.   For Corinna and I, macro images are one of our favorite photo techniques.   Its a great way of seeing the details in something that you might not have noticed before, and it gives you a new perspective on your subject as well.     Some people use a macro lens when shooting their images. (as Corinna and I did).  Macro lens are great because they really let you get close to the subject.   However if you do not have a macro lens, no worries.  Most cameras have a "macro" setting on the camera.  Usually is on a button or dial, and it is represented by the image of a flower.   If you haven't used that setting before, I highly recommend you give it a try and practice on all sorts of things.

Cant wait to see what everyone comes up with! :)  

Oh and dont forgot you can click on the photo if you want to see a bigger image.

Week of 6/20 to 6/27 - M is for MOVE/MOVING

The last two weeks allowed us to take a LONG look at the LIGHT around us and although L was a fun letter, it is time for us to MOVE on to the letter M for the next 2 weeks. So that's what we are doing... MOVING. What do you think of when the word "MOVE" comes to mind? Is there something in your life that symbolizes MOVE right now? Do you have something near you that MOVES?

Whatever your interpretation of the word is, make sure you post it in the Mr Linky area below so we can all see what MOVE is to you.

Week of 6/13 to 6/20 - L is for LONG

We are finishing up the letter L by moving away from the LIGHT and moving towards something LONG.    Do you have anything near you that can represent LONG?  If so take a photo and post it below.  We would love to see it.

week of 6/6 to 6/13 L is for LIGHT

Well it looks like kitty might have been a bit more challenging than anticipated for everyone.  Hopefully this next theme might be a little easy for everyone to do, since this week the theme : LIGHT.  I'm sure that no matter where you are, there is bound to be something near you that can be used for LIGHT.  Here is what Corinna and I manage to come up with:
