As we celebrate this Memorial day weekend and the unofficial kick-off of summer, I was working on a cool drink project and the watermelon was so pretty that I decided to photograph it.

so, I may have missed a few weeks, but I am getting back on track with my 52 weeks project.
these are my favorite wild poppies that randomly bloom in our backyard every year. they are such simple, vibrant flowers and here in so-cal they grow like weeds! lucky for me since I love these little flowers.

happy mother’s day to all my mommy friends out there.

I am late to post due to connectivity issues, but I did take this last week!

One of our favorite things to do is visit our local farmers market. The fruits and veggies are always beautiful and the girls love the samples. We also see something we have never seen before and this time I stopped to take a closer look. While I have no idea what these are really called, the petals looked more like feathers than part of a flower and they made me happy =)

I have decided to join a 52 weeks project with some photographer friends. While this is something I have wanted to do for awhile, life is busy and this has always seemed to add to may already long to-do list so I haven’t done it.

So why is now such a good time? Well, actually, it’s not. It’s just that as I thought about our group’s theme of “closer” and what it meant to me, I realized that there will NEVER bee a good time.
The truth is that I am doing this for myself. I want to take a closer look at life, my surroundings, my family. Sometimes I get so tied to getting the perfect shot, that I forget to see what is really happening. I was actually getting so focused on the shot that I was missing life, so I stopped taking my camera with me when I wasn’t working.
Please bear with me as this project isn’t about the perfect shot. I really hope it will be about the imperfect shot, but in the end I will have one photo a week to remind me of my journey through 2012.

*week one ~ viewing some of the largest waves to hit so-cal in quite awhile*
