[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

Friday the 13th was a lucky day for us even though it's UNLUCKY FOR SOME

and how creepy/cool does this pic of Phar Lap look

[Jewel]

Oh wow. I'm probably like 2wks behind in uploads.

That's a great photo of Phar Lap, ZF!

I did cold yesterday

Today I captured DS heading off to care, I felt a bit weird about taking my camera into the centre as I didn't want to take photos in there without other parents permission so took one outside in the carpark. First time I've ever felt self conscious about taking my blog photos in public, supermarkets, malls, cafes etc are no issue - weird huh

Had a scary moment on the weekend when my laptop died (all fixed now) but I hadn't backed up for months. All backed up now safe and sound on a 2 TB hard drive. While saving all the picks I realised that I have take approx 15,000 pics since DS was born (not all of him but a large majority are) and since I got my DSLR back in Sept had taken approx 7000 - excessive much?

MN - wow that IS a lot of photos. But I don't believe there is any such thing as too many, especially when of your beloved DS!

Jewel - good luck catching up! I had a big catch up to do after Easter. I slowly got through it... it was like this hole in my APril that just shrank incredibly slowly lol.

ZF - Nice to see your pics again

Is anyone struggling with inspiration? i'm starting to feel like my pics are getting too "same"y. It's like today i've got another pic of Annika smiling and it's a variant on a million others I've uploaded. I feel like I should be more creative & original... BUT I want it to be about my life and what's meaningful to me... which usually ends up being my kids. Then I think, shouldn't there be something more to me? But it's what I do in my day . Anyone got some wise thoughts? I'd love to hear 'em! I don't like any of my pics today but I can't be bothered taking more. Meh.

It works out to 20 photos per day - thats not too bad is it??

**goes off to google photographers anonymous**

Belie, I'm struggling severely for inspiration too. DD is waking up often at night again, so I'm constantly tired. She's still going through a lot of tests and we are now also moving back to the uk for a while in 4-5 weeks because my mum just got diagnosed with breast cancer, So there's quite a lot to be doing all the time. As a result, my 365 keeps suffering unless I can think of something quick and interesting to photograph I just don't bother anymore!

[Jewel]

Swoop - I'm so sorry to hear about your mum. Big hugs. I hope everything is okay with your little girls tests and your move.

Belfie - Yep, I'm struggling with what to take photos of. Sorry I can't help.

I'll try and catch up on everyones photos and all that jazz later. I'm sorry.

[MummyNaomi]

Swoop, just wanted to send some hugs your way too babe, sorry to hear about your Mum and LO xx

[Swoop]

Aw thanks girls Sorry for wingeing... We haven't told many people IRL what's going on yet and I think it must've all been getting to me last night in my sleep deprived state.

[YoYo]

Aw swoop... Only just saw this. So sorry to hear about your mum.

Know what you mean about the 365 suffering.... But really it's the last thing you should worry about with what's going on


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk so sorry for mistakes!!

[Swoop]

Cheers Yules. I think it just feels like a little bit or normal to keep a grasp of at the moment. But I'm basically doing it when I can be bothered and leaving it when I can't. I can actually see a huge change in my pictures though - less effort shining through!!

I've decoded that when everything settles down a bit I'm going to do that diploma too though - yay

Swoop hun i hope everything gets back to normal ASAP and so sorry to hear about your mum
Were here for you
No matter what i think your pics are STUNNING, always so beautifully done
Was going to try an ABC challenge for a bit, now DP is back at work i should be able to work on my pics a little more

[Swoop]

Aw, thanks ZF!

What is an ABC challenge?

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

Abc challenge is just doing The letters if the alphabet, a is for ... B is for ....


Sent from my iPhone, more than likely while I should be doing something else!

[Jewel]

That's a pretty cool challenge. Not sure if I could keep up though.
Is there a place where there are lists of challenge ideas??

I think I need a challenge or something.

xox

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

I think there would be but i'm not 100% sure, i started a thread on there for ppl to give me ideas

Here is today's B is For

I still have gaps everywhere and am alternating b/w my phone and my camera... need to challenge myself and get back to the camera though i think.

[Jewel]

Hi, it's me again. lol

Still struggling. Feeling lost in everything, but ya get that, hey.

How's everyone going?!
