Tromping through the Snow

Published on by amyewhitelivecomLeave a comment
On Sunday we wanted to get out and get some fresh air and exercise.  We grabbed a coffee and off we went to our favorite park, Trailside Nature Center.  They have a bunch of great trails and it\’s hard to get lost.  
You know how there are small little achievements that your kids make that make you so proud.  Quinn\’s latest achievement is his ability to get all his fingers in the right spot with gloves.  Simple, but incredible.   (Spoken like a boastful mom.)

It probably took us about 30 minutes to go 100 yards because all Quinn wanted to do was throw snowballs.  

 Uh oh, he\’s coming after the camera woman.

And my heart melts…

 See, I told you it\’s not hard to get lost — just follow the signs.    Our little explorer climbed to the top of the snow mountain.

 I may be a little prejudiced, but man oh man are my guys handsome.

 Time to head home…

Project 365

Published on by amyewhitelivecomLeave a comment

The December Daily kicked my ass!   But, I loved it.   It stretched my creative abilities and pushed me to learn more about photography and Photoshop.  I had to dig out time for myself every day that I didn\’t even know existed to pull it all together.  And I had to take at least one picture every day.  Whew!  Big sigh of relief that the December Daily behind me.

So, what\’s in front of me?  Project 365.  Yep, 365.  The goal of this project is to take one picture every day for a year.  What do I get in return?  Work on my photography skills every single day while I document my life.  The most time consuming part of the December Daily was the post processing and putting all the pictures together.  Taking one picture a day will be a snap in comparison.  

Project 365/52/12 is taken on by alot of photographers and there are communities across the web banding together to inspire and encourage each other.  In my clickinmoms group, there are almost 100 photographers tackling this project.  It\’s inspiring to visit blogs of these photographers.

I\’ve decided to start another blog with my 365 pictures.  I will just post one picture without any text.  I\’ll continue to post on The Mighty Quinn blog with all the usual fun family stuff.  I should also note that I may take a picture every day but I may not have time to process and post on the blog every day.  But, I also know that I may not take a picture every day and may need a break.  That\’s ok.  I\’ll start back up when I\’m inspired again.
