[mosaic monday] toy story

MCP Actions Project 52 theme this week was childhood toys. I grabbed some of our favorite toys and took macros. I ended up just using the clackers so the project 52 then made a layout for the rest of my favorites.

off to gretna greene

My niece is getting married next month.

[mosaic monday] animals & pets

No pets. And no access to animals with which I could take macros. So I pulled out the legos.

[mosaic monday] around the house

Clickin Moms Project52 macro theme for week 8 was around the house. We had a sick household this week then we were busy with field trips and special olympics. Finally I grabbed my camera Saturday, put on my flash and walked around the house. I looked for interesting things but mostly found dust.

[monday mosaic] money

Project52macro theme this week was our choice. I picked money thinking it would be fun. But I got bored way before I got many variations. And then I uploaded the photos and saw all the dust! Yikes! More kudos to those stock photographers who make it look so good.

[mosaic monday] fruit & bubbles

This week's theme is fruit & vegetables. Out meet-up group had scheduled play in the park where we could take macro shots. I had planned to get my shots done then but as the host, I had to help out more than I could shoot. So I waited until the last minute, again, and took my shots. I took a vase full of soda water and hung a lemon slice from it. Then I played with cherries and finally some faux cherries and my woodling.

I went to the Tampa Downtown Market on Friday. I challenged myself by only using my macro lens. It paid off as most of my photos only needed some sharpening.

[feet hand fingers toes] like a old worn...

I have worn these more this summer than anything else. I have doing a lot of gardening, OK, cleaning up the gardens, and I love wearing these. They are not as hot as leather and they are washable.

[mosaic monday] patriotic

Seeing all these great Fourth of July photos puts me in the mood to show mine. But we don't really celebrate. Ryan is in bed before the fireworks start and we just stay home and listen to our neighbors blow up their money. But I love anything red white & blue and this past week's POTD theme was patriotic. So why not show all of my shots in one go. Thanks for stopping by.

Anyone with boys knows Thomas & The Fat Controller. Ryan's track layouts are just too large to be contained on the train table.
