2011 Week 4 & Sunday Scavenger Hunt
Hello folks.
It is week 4 of my A picture a day for a year in 2011~
since I failed last year… I am a girl on a mission this year!! =)
anyway… my weeks pictures are also inspired by
Ashley Sisk’s Sunday Photo Scavenger Hunt List!
This week’s items are: Memories, Silhouettes, Doorways, Reflections and Silver.
I decided to highlight the pictures inspired by Ashley in Blue
and the days of the week pics will be in black.
and a picture a week for 52 weeks is hosted by Trina will be Pink
Looking forward to bouncing around and seeing all your weekly pics!
Have a beautiful, Blessed day!

Silver
the lovely silver baking tools I can’t live without
nice and clean after baking my first batch of Gluten Free Cookies
I have successfully gone one week with no gluten…
no tears. no frustration. only one “icky” meal.
I am attempting to go gluten free and mostly dairy free
for a while… I will explain in another post soon!
Tuesday 18/365
it all started with a couple of beautiful birds
I snapped this first shot through my sliding door with my snap and shoot. nice.
and then a whole flock showed up
they were flying between our yard and the neighbors yard
every three minutes they would lift off together
so I grabbed my camera and went upstairs to my bedroom window
and managed to snap a blurry… but kinda cool shot of them in lift off!
from my bedroom window… zoomed into the neighbors back yard
with my little snap and shoot!! kinda neat!
We also had a couple different woodpeckers show up
and a bunch of robins too…
Tuesday was apparently WILD animal day
later that night is when we went to see the Reptile Guy at Abby’s school! =)
My last post was about Lucy… The Alligator and all her reptile friends.
Wednesday 19/365
Memories
Wednesday I took a fuzzy photo of this photo
in memory of my mama
whose 62nd birthday would have been this last Wednesday
I posted a little ditty on my blog remembering her that day.
She passed away not long after that picture was taken
10 years ago this coming March.
Sometimes memories are what you have left of someone special. =)
Silhouettes
Though Wednesday was a hard day
it was a lovely day of making new memories too
Sammy and I took a walk with Merlin b/c it was so beautiful out that day
I was snapping a picture of the shadow (er Silhouette) of that three
when Sammy broke into this Michael Jackson looking pose
playing with his shadow!!
**make a mommy’s heart sing** er giggle**
and Reflections
down by the bay…where the watermelons grow…
(name that tune) ha ha
this is really what Sammy and I had come to see downtown
a little boy has to see exactly what a giant crane was doing ON the water =)
we drove past it an hour before
and went back for a closer look
I was in awe at the beauty of its reflection on the water!
while Sammy was in awe of the JOB it was doing!
this is a closer shot … my favorite of the week I think!
I LOVE that little boat … it is 101 years old…
an Olympia Classic ~ Mr. Sandman bring me a dream…
oops… Just… The Sandman =)
** OH ** and get this ** these pics were taken with my PHONE!! =)
they turned out SO nice for phone pics!!
Thursday 20/365
Macro
I am not having much luck with macro with my new snap and shoot
in time… I am just beginning…
patience is not a strong character trait I possess!
Last year I took a ton of water macro shots with my Nikon
before I broke it
so I am playing with my cannon to see if it can measure up!
it did ok. the photographer has a learning curve maybe? =)
Friday 21/365
Silver again =)
Sammy acquired this rocket ship
at a white elephant gift exchange with our bible study group
he has been dying to paint it sliver ever since
I finally remembered to pick up SILVER paint this week!
I love his facial expression in this pic!! hysterical!
Speaking of facial expressions and hysteria …
this picture totally cracks me up!!
=) Oh Merlin!!
Saturday 22/365
Doorways
some doors you would just like to close forever
and forget they ever existed
Sheesh… anyone else HATE laundry????
hate hate hate it!! =)
but these… these are the keys… well … the holder of the keys…
Macro again =)
the ones that drive you to the spa for a 60 minute massage
b/c your LOVELY friend Susan spoiled you on your 40th Birthday!!
A little tiny slice of bliss.
Speaking of bliss… My Pillow is calling!!
G’Night Everybody!
(well G’mornin by the time y’all read this!)
Blessings~ Jenn

oh my word, your pictures are so good!!! I have a hard time keeping it all together for p365, I can’t imagine doing 3 photo memes….cuddos!!!
January 23rd, 2011 saat: 12:23 pm
I love the pic of the dog. Reminds me of the pets I had growing up and that I still miss.
January 23rd, 2011 saat: 12:35 pm
Love your reflections pictures, they are pretty cool, especially being taken from a cell phone!
I also love your little guy’s face! So focused. And your dog, well, what a typical silly dog photo, but still so adorable.

great pictures. I love her dance moves photo.. too funny
January 23rd, 2011 saat: 3:54 pm
LOVE your reflections photos – just gorgeous!
January 23rd, 2011 saat: 5:16 pm
It is so crazy the way birds do that! We watch them lift off together by the thousands (It seems like thousands) and move from yard to yard around here. Sometimes it looks like they are playing leapfrog.
January 23rd, 2011 saat: 5:20 pm
Those reflection shots are BEAUTIFUL… love the bright colors 😀
January 23rd, 2011 saat: 5:20 pm
Wonderful interpretations of the challenge! I smiled at your door shot. 🙂
Love the reflection shot of the boats and the macro of the water droplet.
Thanks for visiting my first entry.
January 23rd, 2011 saat: 6:02 pm
Beautiful!
Oh I so wish I could do this 365 thing. I am hoping if I give myself this year to figure out my camera, I will have it together by 2012?!?!:)
One can dream right?
Enjoy the night
January 23rd, 2011 saat: 6:15 pm
Your macro shot turned out great!
January 23rd, 2011 saat: 7:02 pm
I love looking at your week in pictures! Thursdays is sooo cool, such a great shot! Ummm yeah the laundry thing, I am with you. I just hate that it is a never ending project. Seriously, never ending. Have a great week! 🙂
January 23rd, 2011 saat: 8:31 pm
What a wonderful collection of photos.. That first shot is so beautiful and so is your macro shot.. That puppy dog face is too cute!! Hope you have a nice week!

Yikes! That alligator shot gave me chills!
That photo of Merlin cracks me up too 🙂

The puppy photo stole my heart! Must be the eyes that dare you to say no.
Your son dancing with his shadow was cute also made me chuckle. Seems you picked the perfect time to click that camera!
