Week 7/52 - Love

Mill Park, Victoria, AUS
I spotted him with the doll on the floor, quietly singing it a lullaby. He has a real baby brother who he clearly loves a whole bunch.

I'm very sorry for being so unconventional with this theme. For about the 3rd time during this project I've changed my photo selection in the 11th hour. But sometimes love's a battlefield and sometimes love's a bitch. But thankfully it's not ever a waste of time and gives back more than it receives. And I got tears in my eyes writing this but I'm happy. Thanks for being my loves and my friends.

I can't ever get this text to work so this is all you get.

My doll of a daughter-in-law, happy at the chance to be 'famous' on the 156 blog, but in a totally nonchalant kinda way, of course, lol
Love this girl :)

Week 5/52 - Bokeh

Thornbury, Victoria, AUS.
A pack of Rainbow Lorikeets were running an absolute muck in the neighbour's tree earlier this week, with these two letting me get fairly close. I have a strong dislike for this shot, but Im back to the daily grind and this is about the only bokeh I could muster.

Loveland, Ohio, United States

Not much for inspiration around here lately.  I kind of liked the juxtaposition of the wind chimes and thermometer.  The bokeh blurs the foreground and background to the extent it could actually be summer.  Trust me though, that scale is actually Fahrenheit so it's pretty cold and terrible.

 Gold Coast Hinterland, Qeensland, Australia
Yep, given the chance, I'll usually always shoot flowers. I just can't help myself, lol
I did initially have another idea in mind, but after sitting in the garden to take this & other pictures, I was bitten on the behind by something cranky & didn't pick up my camera for the rest of the week :P

Week 4/52 - From My Closet

Thornbury, Victoria, AUS.
A new shirt prepares to make some friends in my closet and I might finally be re-appearing after a feeling of being lost for the past couple of weeks.
* Not an original concept, but felt inspired to try something a little different.

 My absolute most favourite top & necklace from my closet.
Behind the butterfly is actually a working analog clock. It also has a blank part on the back awaiting something sentimental to be engraved... just haven't come up with anything special enough yet.

Week 3/52 - Become

Melbourne, Australia
When this was shot earlier in the week, i thought "Id like to become more patient, supportive and accepting of the important people in my life". But at the end of the week, it now turns out that they have been all those things and more for me.

Milford, Ohio, United States

I had another photo for this week but this morning I slid off the road. So I had become snowbound. I ended up being stuck for about 2 hours when a good Samaritan with a chain and 4x4 dragged me out.

This week my eldest signed the forms to become part of Tax paying society. He's endevouring to get a job soon....so here comes the reality of paying The Man, whilst also hoping to make enough to have a little fun with life :)

Week 2/52 - Morning Routines

My bed, Melbourne, Australia.
Everyday for the past 6 months has begun at the exact same time, in the exact same way.
- Andrea

 Vegemite kid!
Wish I could say my morning routine is quiet reflection & a gentle start to the day, but with 4 kids & 2 of them under 5, my morning is usually based on me bribing plate & spoon usage & much instant coffee so I can get my quickest hit of caffeine to kickstart the day ;)
- Anjie

This was a part of my morning routine from 04 June 1982 until 22 December 2010. I don't miss you. :))

Week 1/52 - Looking Up

Gold Coast Hinterland, Australia.

Looking up from my garden stoop & wondering when this seemingly eternal downpour will show signs of slow down. The flood waters have broken now Brisbane's river banks & evacuated the capital city. Fingers remain tightly crossed the flood waters don't reach our city too and prayers for those lives already affected.

- Anjie

You know things are Looking Up when you find the "Hottest Box In Town". Right? lol

Yellow Gum Park, Melbourne, Australia

Ive lived in Melbourne almost my entire life and never knew that Yellow Gum Park even existed. It's actually an old quarry with a lake in the middle that changes colour depending on the time of year. Not that this photo has much to do with the park really. As we walked around I was picking up flowers, rocks and dandelions. It was a lovely day and my eyes were drawn up to the baby blue sky.
