Jump Creek

This weekend my friends Dorinda, Cliff and I took the kids and went to Jump Creek Canyon for a little photography hike. It is a pretty walk with a creek, a small waterfall, rocks, canyon and then at the end, the pool and falls. We wanted to practice our waterfall techniques. I really wanted to get that soft "silk" look on the falls, but I am missing a piece of my tripod and was unable to use a long enough exposure time to truly get the look I wanted. I ended up leaning against a rock and trying to steady my camera that way.

Not sure what this is, but there were two of them right on the side of the pool...

P52: Eyes of March...

One good thing about my new lens and a sick kid is I can be far enough away that he doesn't know I am shooting and he is still enough to get a good shot...

P52: Be Still

An 8 year old boy only stops when he must.
Today it took a fever of 103* for my baby to Be Still.
That is all it takes for a Mother to stop everything.

Project 52 Week 9 Theme "A Great Leap"

Leap Day....is that what you call Feb 29th? Anyway, whatever day it is, it gave us snow for the first time in Ages...and now today we are getting more, we may even get up to 4" by the end of today here in Boise. Despite being laid up with pain and on some strong meds I had to head outside for a few fast shots. Got one of a wrinkled up old Rose Hip outside the front door and here is what I did with it...

P52: Cabin Fever

We have had grey, windy cold days for the last little while here in Boise. Wednesday just before sunset the wind finally blew the clouds away for long enough to see blue sky. The sun was low on the horizon and touched the top of the clouds. It was beautiful! Too bad it was still Frfrfreeeeezing outside, so I had to just look out the window and wish I was out in the sun.

P52: True Love

I used a shot of a coworker's Valentine's Day flowers to make this. I think it is perfect for this week's P52 Theme: True Love
