P52 ~ Project 52

Some of you may (or may not) have remembered my lame attempt at P365 last year? Well I failed miserably! I think I lasted a month and fizzled out fast...

So what is P52? Well instead of one photo a day, I'm concentrating on one photo a week. I am going to try and brush up on my photography skills (or lack there of) and really focus on quality, not necessarily quantity. Oh, I'll still be taking loads of shots...but really just to find that perfect one...

I'm following Stacy Carlson and VickyD's Project 52 Week Photo Challenge and Stacy's (Unofficial) Project 52 Macro Challenge over at Gotta Pixel.

Now, I'm in "no-stress" mode so if I get to posting them...GREAT. If not, hopefully I can at least keep up with taking them and learning something along the way :-)

Here are my photos for this week...I must say, Mother Nature was particularly spectacular this afternoon and I was fortunate to get outside at the perfect time. All these pretty fluffy snowflakes were floating around and I was able to capture some.

I couldn't just choose one or two so here goes...enjoy!





I thought this one looked kinda cool in black and white:

Happy New Year! I think it's super cool that it's 1-1-11 and I'm so ready for a fresh start...

First...have you noticed my new blog design and color? Have you hopped over to Gotta Pixel yet today? We got a total make-over and the site looks soooooo A-MA-ZING! Kudos to Stacy and the team over there for a job well-done. I'm loving the new colors and the grown-up feel...definitely proud to be part of that community :)

With the launch of the new look, there are some awesome new challenges for the new year so you will have to check them out! Plus, some of the oldies, but goodies are returning, but better than ever!

Special thanks to my good friend ETC by Danyale for being this month's sponsor :) You can peek at all her fabulous-ness in her Gotta Pixel STORE

Last...since I failed miserably at P365 last year I decided to embark on a more manageable project for 2011.

P52 :) One photo for every week...one amazing photo! I'd really like to pay more attention to composition and photography techniques so I'm really hoping to keep up with this one.

I'm following Stacy and Vicky's Project 52 Challenge at Gotta Pixel. This week's technique...black and white! Wish me luck :)

Happy New Year to all my peeps!
Huge HUGS!!!
