Project 365....day 225

Day 225; The Perseid Meteor Shower. The sky looked like it was falling down on us. It was amazing.

"I would rather be a meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, then a sleepy and permanent planet."

-Jack London (1876-1916)



“I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!" Then- whoosh, and I'm gone...and they'll never see anything like it ever again... and they won't be able to forget me- ever.”

- Jim Morrison (1943-1971)



“Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.”

- John Lennon (1940-1980)

Project 365....day 224

Yes....Amelia-mazing, we all see you, and the amazing tricks you do over and over and over

Project 365....day 223

DISCLAIMER: In working on this blog post, I went off looking for a profound quote or two about fire.....instead, I found Jack Handy, and as any SNL fan knows, Jack Handy knows all. I couldn't NOT use this. Sorry.

"If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because I bet that's what really throws you into a panic." ~Jack Handey



"Life is a flame that is always burning itself out, but it catches fire again every time a child is born." ~George Bernard Shaw

Project 365....day 222

Day 222; This is Amelia-mazing. Watch Amelia-mazing surf.



Amazing, no? How is she doing that in the pool!?



Every time though, she eventually loses it and falls off.

Project 365....day 221

Day 221.....yah....it's a tiny watermelon. I've got nothin'.

Project 365....day 220

Day 220 brought us one of my very, VERY favorite parts of summer! Black Berries!! In fact, we ♥ berries so much, that we have a bucket specifically for them at my Momma's.



Our bounty from the day...

Project 365....day 219

Day 219 was spent in the back yard....where I captured a couple of photos of my handsome husband. ♥ Gosh, I love this man!

Project 365....day 218

Day 218 brought us my Mother-in-law's 50th birthday party. Here are a few moments of my sweet little humans on that very special day.

My sweet girl!



A close-up on my sweet little man. ♥

"I wear my sunglasses at night..."

Ok, not really. I do, however, love to enter contests over at I ♥ faces. This week, the theme is "I've got to wear shades", and the minute I saw that, I knew *exactly* what picture I would be entering!! About a month or so ago, my good friend Matt and I went out for my usual every-day picture taking expedition. While we were out, we found the coolest bridge. My friend, being the great model that he is, immediately scaled said bridge and let me shoot till my heart was content. (I have the greatest friends!!) Here is my favorite capture from that shoot. To me, this photo says "I'm a real man-kinda-man. I eat raw steaks, and shave with broken glass, and do.....all kinds of other man stuff." (yeah, that's all I've got; I'm totally a little-sissy-girl.)

Project 365....day 216

It's nearly the end of the summer....that means that the black berry bushes are in FULL swing!!



~*~*~*~*~*~

Project 365....day 215

Day 215 was a fun day for me!! I got to do the second baby-filled session of my friend Shawna's 'Watch me Grow' package (which has also been blogged about here) Here is that sweet girl in some super-fun outtakes! ♥

Project 365....day 214

For day 214 I took a ride, and wound up somewhere between Caroga Lake and Bleaker. (I know exactly where I ended up, but it sort of ruins the magic of it all, to my mind anyway) I stopped, initially, to capture a beautiful little stream, which I did, but the pics didn't turn out the way I imagined them, so those got scrapped. That's just how I roll.

Instead, I found a pretty little flower...



And an AH-MAZ-ING red dragon fly! (Yes, you read that correctly, this sucker was BRIGHT red!)



~*~*~*~*~*~

Project 365....day 213

Day 213 was just for fun; a few popsicles, a few hula hoops, and a pretty good water fight. Who could ask more out of a summer vacation-day!? (ps. a special thanks to my awesome mom for sharing her computer!)

First.....my little's sweet feet! ♥



My sweet Toes munching an 'icy'



And last, but certainly not least, Amelia-mazing doing the hoop!! ♥

Project 365....day 212

Day 212 was a very special day of photography for me; I was able to set up a session in honor of world breastfeeding week with an old friend's wife. Here are a few of the outtakes from a very special and personal session showcasing a mother's ultimate gift of love; breast milk.

Project 365....day 211

Yet another blogged day brought to you by the number 1 and the letter M; yes, that's right, I have the #1 Momma!! ♥ She's been so kind and patient and has shared her computer with me since last Sunday after I shot a wedding....speaking of weddings; that is the subject for my 3.6.5 on day 211....bits and pieces of the wedding I shot. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Orokos!!

Project 365....day 210

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea



Sail away, kill off the hours
You belong somewhere you feel free



You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free

Project 365....day 209

Day 209......

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go



Lyrics by (the AMAZING) John Lennon

Project 365....day 208

On day 208 my wonderful husband and I went out in the canoe again looking for an adventure....this time we started out near Good Luck Lake and moved up through the channels of the Sacandaga River. We found tons of beaver lodges, among other things.....like these amazing looking dragon flys!



This guy was the most intense colors.....emerald green and black!
