52 weeks

The snow came down in huge cotton ball flakes this morning. Tristan said it looked like it was snowing bread. He was dressed to play before I even made it to the metro section or a second cup of coffee but I'm glad we all followed his lead and got outside. It was a fun couple of toe-numbing hours.
home ~ winter 2011
While we were outside, I took a few pictures with the 50mm lens I am determined use more of. I want to improve my skills with the lens, but I have to admit, part of the motivation comes from the fact that it is SO much lighter than the 18-200 I usually lug around.
I decided to join in the MCP Project 52 this year. I look at my photos and see a lot of the same shots, same angles, same subjects, same PSE actions and I think I'm boring myself. The project guidelines are fairly broad, the suggested themes optional, and the purpose just what I need -get out of the rut.
You can join the group HERE or follow my set HERE.
So here's to 52 weeks of photos! I don't even know where we'll be living this time next winter so it's sure to be an interesting year.

  4. Love the picture of the house & tree. I bought that lens just before Fiona was born, and I have not taken it off since. Love it! I just might join up- I don't have any trouble taking a pic/week, but getting them posted in a timely manner might be tricky. I seem to have misplaced my free time...
