My 366 Photo Project, Snap Thursday: week 22

It's Snap Thursday again! My year-long 366 Photo Project adventure continues with the pictures below from May 25-31, 2012.

I'm getting a little jump on the rest of this week and posting these pictures a few days early. The theme for May is Macro May...close-ups, macro shots and whatever else catches my eye. I'm still working on a theme for June. Any ideas?

May 25: the garden in my new house is starting to bloom.
Does anyone know what this clematis is? I found it -
and a beautiful rose bush - blooming this week but can't ID it.

May 26: lemons

May 27: is it a wool sweater? Nope, it's what I found the first time I cleaned the
lint trap in the dryer in our new house! Can you believe that?! I can't.
I'm seriously shocked they never had a fire - look at how many layers there are.

May 28: the stars and stripes.
Happy Memorial Day and thank you to our veterans and troops!

May 29: I drink IKEA's milkshake.
I love assembling things!

May 30: ice flowers and petunias in a hanging basket -
my first of the season. I love gardening!

My 366 Photo Project, Snap Thursday: week 20

It's Snap Thursday again! My year-long 366 Photo Project adventure continues with the pictures below from May 11-17, 2012.

The theme for May is Macro May. Lots of close-ups of random things I encounter in my day to day life. For the past couple of months I've been walking to work so I've been watching plants and flowers blooming and just generally enjoying spring. Fall and spring are my favorite seasons. I live in New England so we get all four seasons here and the winter is usually really, really long. I love spring because it's like the world comes to life again. Color returns to the dull grayness of winter, snow melts and everything around me buds, blooms and flowers.

Here's week 20...see previous weeks here:
one & two, three, four, five, six, seven & eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen

May 11: this bush has the most delicious smelling flowers. I'm not what
kind of bush it is though. It smelled like lilac but the shape of the flowers and the size
of the bush didn't look like lilacs so...not sure?!

May 12: a strawberry flower...can't wait for the berries to ripen

May 13: stone carvings on the outside of a school

May 14: a yellow peony in bloom

May 15: fabric swatch macro

May 16: raindrops

May 17: pretty pink peony budding budding budding...ready to burst open

Bye for now...

My 366 Photo Project, Snap Thursday: week 19

It's Snap Thursday again! My year-long 366 Photo Project adventure continues with the pictures below from May 4-10, 2012.

The theme for May was going to be either animal photos or things in bloom but I've been enjoying shooting lots of really close up photos so I thought I would make May's theme Macro May...get it, macrame? Yes, I'm corny. Most of my close-ups aren't technically macro, but that's okay.

I'm a little late in getting week 19, 20 and 21 posted because we've just moved so I've been doing walkthroughs and inspections, packing and now...unpacking, which will take a while. But, I've prepped all of May's photos, so I'll also post week 22 tonight, which will take me through the end of the month. I can't believe it's almost June!

See previous weeks here:
one & two, three, four, five, six, seven & eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen

May 4: delicious brunch - bacon, egg and cheese bagel sandwich & salad

May 5: cappuccino crema

May 6: benches in formation

May 7: cute little flowers on a variegated Solomon's Seal

May 8: purple Salvia

May 9: my Christmas Cactus

May 10: a close up of blooming Scotch Broom
