10 on 10: February

10 on 10:
Ten photos taken during one day or event, documenting that day or event, and posted on the tenth of the month.

This month, with predictions of an impending historic snow storm, I decided to do my 10 on 10 during Blizzard Nemo.  We survived the event with our power intact, a giant pine tree horizontal in our backyard instead of vertical, and 20 inches of snow.  Unfortunately, yesterday, our power went out for just over 24 hours which meant that I couldn’t get my post up in time to join in this month’s blog circle.   Here are my photos- better late than never!

The beginning:

Gabby’s favorite spot:

Brrr….

Eliza’s first time in the snow (yes, she was thrilled):

Friends came to stay as they had no power (and still don’t).  LP and his best buddy had a blast playing in the snow together (when they weren’t crying about getting snow in their faces!)

LP’s first “real” sledding experience– we have a very flat yard normally.

And some sledding the way we usually do it:

I took a ton more photos of the Blizzard and will share more later.  Thought these captured the event though!

I’m linking up to Jan Madert Photography who is the first blog in the circle!

    Wow! Huge snowfall! That is a lot! Your kids are beautiful and I love the ones of the pup, especially the one of him in front of the fire. So cozy! Wish we got snow like that. :)

    Looks like a blast! We didn't get hit with as much where I live and I can't say I'm sorry except when I see your gorgeous photos!

What Winter Looks Like...

(Welcome to anyone arriving here from Blue Zebra Photography !) (Oh!  And this is post # 500 on Ye Olde Blogge.  Wow!) I mentioned earlier that I'm participating in two different photography projects this year with other members of the Bloom Forum .   The second project I'm participating in are monthly photos that relate to a certain theme or word. For January, the theme is "Winter." We've had an odd winter so far here in Massachusetts.  Hardly any snow at all and over the weekend it was actually in the 50's which is pretty unusual.  We did have a brief snowstorm last week though and while LP and Eliza were cozied up on the couch together I wandered around and took a few photos of the scene.  I love how cozy it is in our house when it's snowy out and wanted to capture some images that conveyed that...

February: What Shadow Looks Like

  (Welcome if you’re coming from Suzanne O'Brien Studio in Northern California!) This month’s group photography theme was “shadow.”  I’ll admit, I had a bit of a hard time with this one.  We’re in the middle of the February doldrums around these parts, and while the sun does shine from time to time it’s cold and blustery and damp most days.  It was tough to get motivated and creative about this, but that’s the whole point of the challenge! The kids and I were in the living room one afternoon and LP was lining his toys up on the windowsill.  The (frigid) afternoon sun was pouring in and I realized that there was a sort of lightbox effect.   I enlisted LP’s help in photographing some of his favorite toys (and one of Eliza’s) so he was the “stylist” for this little photo shoot.  I think if we ever have a dedicated play room I might frame some of these photos for the walls!

10 on 10: January

This year I've decided to participate in two monthly photography projects along with some of the other members of Bloom , a photography forum I'm part of.   The first of these projects is a 10 on 10:   Ten photos taken during one day or event, documenting that day or event, and posted on the tenth of the month.   Everyone's entries are posted in a blog circle- you can follow the links from blog to blog and see everyone's contribution. (And WELCOME! to any of you who might have come here from Rachel McCalley Photography !)   I decided to use the 10 on 10 in January to document a typical day now that I'm a full-time stay at home mom.  A few caveats:  I neglected to take any photos of the morning which was spent at the pediatrician as it was a rather negative experience (more on that in another upcoming post).  I also neglected to notice that my camera was set on jpeg instead of raw (perhaps a child was messing with my settings?  Am not sure wha...
