52/52: Fifty-two at thirty

Celebrations all around!
-
So, my project comes to an end. 52 weeks, a year in pictures. Are they representative of my life? Well, yes and no. So much takes place that never makes it onto film (or rather, pixels). Quite a few weeks I was lazy and rarely picked up my camera. Sometimes I had so many pictures it was a pain to only choose one. I have found myself just sitting and looking at the set of pictures, at least the parts of the project where I was dilligent in my photography and had lots of good ones. Although I've spent a couple of Sunday evenings scrambling to get a shot off in time, I'm really glad I did this! It's been a kick in the behind to get the camera out more often. ;)

And I guess the big question now is: do I do this for another year? Perhaps I should change the project parameters? Not blog them all, put them on a separate blog, choose a new topic, post several pictures if I have them and none when there are no good ones? I have many thoughts and few conclusions yet. We'll see. I think it's highly likely that I'll continue with another Project 52, but I'll probably mix up the details a bit from this year's project.

51/52: Strawberry Fields Forever

Summer joy in a bowl: wild strawberries and forest blueberries.
My hands, stained a dark purple, bring back memories of summers long ago.

50/52: AFK

Away From Keyboard.
And away from home. And work, and stress.
And camera.

Only eleven hours old.
My job has its perks sometimes.

47/52: Boo! BZZZ!

An unwelcome delay brought an unexpected surprise!
I walked around looking at all the umbrella animals
(loving this moquito caught in a spider's web)
with a smile on my face
wishing my camera was the good one
and my delay a little longer.

46/52: A change of heart

I never thought it could be anything other than a chore,
but sometimes lately, I've found myself actually wanting this.

The bad experience on the way home
melts away in the bright memory of this moment.

43/52: In bloom

I pretend they are cherry trees.
But whatever they are,
they are truly
beautiful.

42/52: A jewel in the rough

After ten minutes of scorching asphalt,
choking dust and loud traffic,
I find this place.
Green, quiet, sunny.
A hidden emerald jewel!

41/52: Wildlife

I watched Jurassic Park the night before
and had the soundtrack running in my mind the whole time.

40/52: Up, up and away

Fly me to the moon...
Or maybe somewhere I can learn how to
avoid getting in over my head?

39/52: Drought

All work and no play
makes for a quiet blog
and a boring week of pictures.

38/52: Crossroads

What a difference that new path made!
Saturday was covered, head to toe,
with thick, white, smothering fog.
Sunday was crisp and fresh
and full of promises of good things to come.

37/52: Simple pleasures

The greyest day all week was,
in fact, the brightest one.

36/52: The night walked down the sky with the moon in her hand

It was a bizarre set of night shifts, but in a good way.
Maybe the moon's close pass affected us all?

34/52: Still going strong

There are the occational slip-ups.
I try not to panic and just get back on track.
Who knew this system would work so well.

33/52: Ready, steady, snow

Everyday life indeed.
Absolutely every single picture I've taken this week
has snow in it!
