Janet Brien's photos with the keyword: 366 Project: Daily Archive Photo

A few years ago, Steve and I went on a tour of gardens in the town of Ashland, which is about an hour's drive from our home. There are a lot of lavish gardens there and we had a marvelous time traipsing from one glorious display to the next. At one garden, I found these beautiful flower and got lucky with the late afternoon sun. With this sort of flower, the entire spike of individual blooms is appreciated, so I decided to pay attention to just a single blossom, letting the rest of the blooms fall away into bokeh. :)

Back in Feb 2012, Steve helped me take my first long-exposure images with my 5D Mark II camera. It was a lot of fun to press the shutter release and just stand there for ages before the shutter finally closed and took the picture. I liked this one for its dramatic sky. Incidentally, the pine needle shown in my previous image was on the tree you see here!

On January 1, 2013, I began my 365 Project. I remember the day so clearly. How excited I was as I wandered around on our snowy property, looking for just the right picture to be my very first. Along the way I found a snow-covered pine tree and managed to get this image!

I am officially in love with this project, and this image is my illustration. How is it that I never posted this one? I think it must have been that I didn't want to post too many similar images and back in October 2012, I was taking countless pictures of droplets. There were always more new pictures to post and I just didn't get to this one! Until now. Hooray for my Daily Archive Photo project!! :D NOTE: I will be getting back to the great joy of visiting all of you, commenting, and reacquainting myself with your marvelous photography within about 3 weeks. However, it's going to take me a little while before I tie up some projects going on around here that are keeping my participation at a low ebb for now. I can't wait to say hello, so please stay tuned! :) I'm very excited to be back!!!
