Picture Everyday - Extras

Extras: Seven prompts to take a picture at a specific time and day of the week.

Saturday 10am (09/21/2013)

Getting ready to go to Georgia's first ringette ice time.

Thursday 5pm (09/26/2013)

Representing what I was doing on Thursday at 5 pm (and every Thursday for 8 weeks): coaching/demonstrating in a Dale Carnegie class. I can't take pictures while I'm there, so this will do!

Wednesday 12pm (10/02/2013)

Eating lunch at my desk at work (hence the plastic container). Neil made a nice salad for me!

Friday 8pm (10/11/2013)

I had just dropped off Madeline and Georgia and was looking for a parking spot. Fun store. :)

Monday 8am (10/21/2013)

I start work at 8:00 am and this was the first day for my company to be using Google for email and calendar. I volunteered to be a Google Guide to help others with the change.

Sunday 3pm (10/27/2013)

I was watching my 10-year old play ringette this afternoon. She has the ring in this picture. (And she had two goals and one assist in this game!)

Right now (surprise prompt) - Wednesday 5am (10/30/2013)

I saw this prompt just before heading out to deliver papers with Neil. He was taking the papers to the van and this was the last bundle on our step. We deliver 132 papers six days a week. Good start to the day - fresh air and exercise!

Picture Everyday - Affections

Theme 6: Affections

Colour

Ringette sticks and hair accessories. Both are used often but not at the same time!

Create

Other than photos and food, I haven't created much lately besides this website (and the business, with Neil). I've spent many hours on it and have learned a lot in the process, so I'm glad to capture this piece of my everyday.

Wear

Neil may have enough Roughriders shirts for every day of the week. Certainly one of his affections!

Wearing my new winter coat (which is not black for a change!), gloves, and seat belt. Shot with my BlackBerry and framed in Analog (Mac).

Snuggle

Georgia and her doll, Gato. I bought an Uglydoll for each of the girls 4 years ago this month (October 2009), and they've been very well loved.

A favourite sweater when I need to warm up.

Sip

I sipped all of my coffee in rinks today (10/26/2013), as all 3 girls practiced or played ringette before 2:00 pm.

Picture Everyday - Connection

Theme 5: Connection

Connect

Georgia and her best friend in one of their first ringette practices (last evening) (10/15/2013).

I use my iPod every day for music, podcasts, and audiobooks (listening to Daring Greatly by Brene Brown these days - awesome!).

Together

Just before a little impromptu photo shoot on Sunday -- the girls with their cousin, aunt, and grandpa.

Dash and Georgia.

Touch

The girls watching TV together. It was 80s day at school on Friday, hence the leg warmers and side ponytails. :)

Embrace

My sweet grandma and me, taken today (10/20/2013). She turns 94 tomorrow!

Love

I noticed this in the aftermath of the girls making birthday cards for their great grandma.

Picture Everyday - Details

Theme 4: Details

Unnoticed

Completely obscured from my view by pens and hand lotion, I had forgotten this happy fellow was sitting on my desk at work.

Trimmings

A favourite mini album that sits on a shelf in my office. I made it in 2008.

Georgia always wears several hair elastics and bracelets on her arm. This week, she added two colourful bracelets she made (kits from Dollarama).

Tiny

Spotted this in my garden yesterday (10/08/2013).

With three young girls in the house, I find stuff like this all over the place.

Curve

In our back yard.

One of our 5 Froot Guards. We love these for packing fruit for snacks or lunches.

I got carried away finding curves around here. :)

Sparkle

Our big jar of beds and whatnot.

Picture Everyday - Places

Theme 3: Places

Drive

I tried a few things with my BlackBerry today (09/30/2013), and liked this one the best. Framed in Analog (Mac).

Arrive

So glad I took this when I got home from work yesterday (09/30/2013)!

View of my office building from my parking spot. Definitely a big part of my life, and I appreciate that arriving here is not something I dread (I love my job!).

Visit

Ringette started October 1. We've been to various rinks 6 times in the past 5 days.

I visit my back yard a couple times a week - not as often as I'd like.

Explore

I participated in Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photo Walk yesterday (10/05/2013). We explored downtown Regina, including the Farmer's Market. One of the last outdoor markets of the season.

Neighbourhood

A familiar view, looking down the street from where we park in front of our house.

Picture Everyday - Spaces

Theme 2: Spaces

Threshold

I found this prompt challenging, but here are a couple. Georgia rushing out the front door for her piano lesson, and Madeline's fancy toes on the back step.

Seating

I spend quite a bit of time in this seat!

Surface

Top of the piano. Yes, I dusted before taking this picture. :) The Monster High doll was a reward/reminder for Georgia to practice piano.

Our patio table after last night's rainfall (09/24/2013). Tomatoes from our garden sometimes go here before they get to the kitchen.

Window

Window into my cupboard and into my life with children. :) We went to see Phineas and Ferb Live last year and this Perry mug was a souvenir.

Floor

In Sophia's bedroom. Tough prompt for me... our floors are not looking good these days and I have no time to clean them -- nor desire to capture this reality!

Picture Everyday - Routine

From September 16 to October 27, I received prompts for capturing my "everyday" in photos. This was part of the BPC workshop, Picture Everyday, with Tracey Clark. I had little spare time during these six weeks, but I'm so glad I made the effort to get these photos! There are seven posts in this series.

Theme 1: Routine

Wake

1. One of the first things I do is put on my shoes. Neil and I deliver papers six days a week. 2. Dash brought us a shoe and then laid down with it. 3. I make oatmeal-quinoa porridge every Sunday and enjoy it all week long.

Wash

It's me; this morning (09/18/2013). Taken with my 50mm at arm's length.

Dine

Eating at my computer is a daily thing for me - at work or at home; sometimes both in the same day.

Serve

I'm glad to have captured this; I often serve sliced apples and cheese to my girls. It's a good snack and they ask for it.

Rest

Sophia resting between her dance class and ringette tryout.

Georgia slept in my bed while I got ready for work one day this week. My girls used to crawl into bed with me often, but it's rare now. I'm glad I thought to grab my camera!
