Day 178: Watching You

As it gets later in the afternoon, it's getting prettier. The sun feels nice today so I took a quick walk around my apartment, enjoyed the afternoon breeze and caught the gaze of this bird. He didn't like having his picture taken though.

Day 177: Whatever The Weather

This is my submission to my photo-adventure group's new challenge: Whatever The Weather. I couldn't help but remember the rhyme from theater in high school and so, I combined the rhyme with a little creative interpretation and my photomerges. I like. it.

Day 176: Why Didn't You Call?

I hate the idea of drinking alone.

Day 175: Spring Flowers

In the 8th grade I did a wildflower project for my science class and found a new appreciation for all the "flowering weeds" out there. I also stumbled upon, in my extensive research, one of my favorite quotes that I have held on to all this time.

"A weed is but an unloved flower." - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

And so, every flower I come upon now I look at and appreciate it for its unique beauty and for that moment of appreciation I hope the flower may feel wanted and lovely as any flower should.

Day 174: Bluebonnet Bug

I don't know exactly what kind of bug this is but it looks like a parody cricket. Honestly, I don't even know if that's a legitimate name for an insect, but I'm naming it that because this bug looks like it's trying so hard to be "King" of the bluebonnet. Almost Lion King-esq?

Or this is just me talking to myself in blog-world and acting crazy again? Yeah, it is.

Day 173: Super Moon

Tonight, according to Yahoo! News and every other online source I could find, there is a "Super Moon." Most of my photographer friends and non-photographer friends have already spammed Facebook with their unique and not-so-unique takes on the Super Moon in their night sky. Well, my sky tonight is pretty cloudy, so I improvised. I'm set up under a flightpath to the San Antonio Airport and managed to snag a plane making its descent into the city.

Oh by the way, I'm in San Antonio tonight. I'll be back in Lubbock tomorrow for a day full of editing from an engagement session I had today with two amazing people!

Day 172: Cooper

Cooper is the most awesome dog ever. He hates the mailman but will kill a friend with affection. He is also a pretty chill character.

Day 171: Bouquet of Daisies

These flowers are just so pretty. For my "By The Numbers" photo, I wrote on a few petals with a sharpie, but while I was at it, I had to photograph the flowers without the writing too! The window lighting was just so yummy!

Day 170: By The Numbers

A few photographer friends of mine have decided that although we are not in the same city, we can still have "adventures" with each other. So we came up with a bunch of ideas and every 2 weeks we have a new "themed" challenge. You can view all the photos at the website HERE.

This one is mine. The theme was "By The Numbers"

Day 169: Santana

Alex is such a joy to be around. She needed a photo and liked my magic, so naturally we met up and made it happen.
