Thirtieth Week: Focus 52 - Vintage

Thirtieth week eh? Amazing to realize that we're that far through the year. The theme this week was vintage. Some of my pictures follow that theme, others are just ones that I like.

So here goes:

Lanterns (2)

Wild Rose (7)

I love this

Churchill Park

1948 Plymouth (more in the comments of this one)

The work of everyone else is here.

Twenty-Ninth Week - Glass - Focus 52

Ok... so I misread the prompt. I read it as 'Grass'. Close but not the same. However, most of the pictures I took I wouldn't have fitting either prompt - the real one or my imaginary one.

Kent`s Pond - Daisy

A daisy the son gave me. I love daisies.

Kent`s Pond - Love is all you need

One of the ponds has little gates with hearts. I took this picture and had the heart in the foreground - in focus. Love is all you need.

And popcorn. Love and popcorn.

Pond grasses

Since I thought it was grass, here you go. Grass.

Two of my three pictures were taken with one camera - the grass and the following two were taken with another. I just replaced my elph with a SLR. My husband made it possible - pushed me to do it, gave me a gift of a bunch of cash and a print out of slrs on sale right now and we had to get it. So I have a slr. And the villagers rejoice!

I have an amazing husband (364)

365 Finished (365)

Now I just need to learn how to use it.

Twenty-Eighth Week - Focus 52 - Summer

I followed the theme a little and a little bit not.

Pictures from the week:

A walk downtown (to take skateboarding pictures of my husband) produced the following:


Self Portrait Saturday: Lots of Me (359)

Cloudy building

Flowers

Unexpected beauty

It was a beautiful sunny summer day, fit for chilling out, taking pictures and having ufn.

And this bunny had the same thoughts about the next day - eating the clover in the yard of my parents:

Twenty-Seventh Week - Focus 52 - Independence

This week the theme was independence. Some of my pictures reflected that, others I just liked.

MUNDY POND:Independent boy

This is my boy, starting to claim some independence. Taking different paths and going his way.

Little plant

This plant is growing on it's own and doing it's own thing.

Flowers on the table

This is sotry of independent. The husband and I had a date night and then a date morning - the son slept over at his grandparents house. This was us eating out at Rocket Bakery to have our breakfast.

Parking

I just liked the look of this - an old parking sign that I saw on a walk downtown.

Daisies at Dusk

Daisies and dusk. Beautiful to me.

Twenty-Sixth Week: Celebration: Focus 52

The theme this week was 'celebrate'. I decided to concentrate on the big celebration we had this week - Canada Day. We went out to my parents house and had a big barbeque. I brought a messed up cake and delicious kabobs, they provided chips and burgers and drinks. Add wonderful company. Aunts and uncles were there, cousins and second cousins, husband, parents and child. A good time was had by all. All of the following pictures are from that day:

Twenty-Fifth Week: Masculine: Focus 52

The theme this week was Masculine. However, the theme of my life this week was busy. Busy, busy, busy. Last week of school! Hired to be VP of summer school! Child finished grade one! Busy, busy, busy!!

So... what did I do that I liked or was masculine? Well, not as much as I would have liked.

Asphalt Flowers

We were out riding bikes and skateboarding today and I saw these. Hardy, pretty little flowers. I just admired them. Spunky.

Working Wednesday: The New VP of Summer School (322)

I like this picture of me. Nice without being unreal (I think! - it does hide the double chin!). I picked this, even though it's a very feminine face, simply because it's celebrating the fact that I was picked for summer school vp. This is the first year that a female has been in the administration role - and this year there's two females. I'm excited.

Waiting in Line

What is more masculine than my boy? This boy will be a great man.

View from the tank

I rode in a tank today. This was the view. Not masculine but I really liked it. Actually, it looks kinda feminine, but given it's the view from a tank, I think I appreciate it more.

Twenty-Fourth Week: Morning: Focus 52

This week the theme was morning. I tried to think of what represented morning for me - and then forgot to take pictures of half of it. These are the pictures I did manage to take.

Working Wednesday: A good breakfast (315)

I'm trying not to eat as much bread. It's going very badly. VERY BADLY. However, this is now my regular breakfast. Yogourt and Special k. It's yummy. Still having trouble giving up bread though.

Early morning company

I get up early every morning. Way before it's sunny, no matter what time of year it is. I need to work out because I need to be healthy and that's the only time that seems to work for me. There's something great about being the only one up and being able to say that at 4:10 I'm up and working out for an hour.

Self Portrait Saturday: Foot Rubs (318)

This is my favourite of the pictures for this week. It's my sons feet sticking out of my bed blankets. In the mornings I work out and then, when done, take him out to our bed for cuddle time. He loves it. I then give my husband and my son footrubs. They are spoiled. But I love them.
