Day 30: Self-Portrait

Day 30 is here already! The last full day of our OBX vacation; the last visit to the 4x4 Beaches in Corolla. I know it's not a pic of just me, but it is of a "complete" me!! (Cheesy, I know, but Josh does complete me!)

Day 30 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Complete! Whew!

Day 29: Black and White

I stayed in the Explorer while Josh went into the Food-O-Rama to get some more adult beverages, and this guy came right over, thinking I was going to feed him. But, he's black and white!!! Damn seagulls! :-)

Day 29 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Complete! (and annoying...ugh!)

Day 28: Flowers

Pretty Tiger Lily picture that Josh captured near the base of one of the lighthouses we visited in OBX! They were so fragrant too! Just Gorgeous! :-) Josh is such a good photographer too...:-)

Day 28 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Complete! (and gorgeous!)

Day 27: From a Distance

In the center, in the far distance, is the Ocracoke Lighthouse. We drove through the tiny town (think: golf carts and bikes are better to use in this town than actual cars, it's so congested and tight!) and missed the road to the lighthouse. We stopped at a visitors center and sighted it across the little bay. Unsure if we would actually find it, I snapped a picture from the car! We did end up finding it, and it was certainly tiny like the little town, with a tiny parking spot for only 5 cars, and it was filled with--what else--golf carts! Oh well...but here it is "from a distance"!

Day 26: Close-Up

This one was accidental, but works out for what I need for today's post! Josh and I were on a Sunset Cruise on the Downeast Rover out of Manteo, NC. It was phenomenal! We got to take a cooler aboard and drink and feel the breeze in our faces while sailing on the Roanoke Sound. We had a good Captain and First Mate telling us stories, and even got to see some dolphins! And, of course, the Sunset Cruise lived up to its name, giving us one hellofa show! :-)
This pic was accidental because I had zoomed in for a picture of the shoreline, and forgot to zoom out before trying to take a "self-portrait" of myself and Josh. Oh well, we've got good looking eyes and smiles! :-)

Day 26 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Complete! (and cute, if I do say so!)

Day 25: Something Pink

This one is a cheat too...I spent all day Saturday the 25th traveling from Erie, PA to Manteo, NC. I packed my camera away, and ended up sleeping a lot of the trip anyhow! Aside from that, I am rather decidedly "ungirly" and lack in the pink department, sadly! I prefer blue almost all the time! But, this picture is from our first night of vacation in OBX...the sunset was just gorgeous! And, it was PINK! :-)

Day 25 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Complete! (and breathtaking!)

Day 24: Animal

Cash, Bertie, and Elin, all lounging while I pack! Couldn't get Daphne to keep still. She was pouting, I am pretty sure! :-)

Day 24 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Complete! (and Furry!)

Day 23: Sunflare

Another stolen from 6.06.11...I took a few good pics that day! :-)

Day 23 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Stolen, but Complete!

Day 22: Hands

I stand with my hands on my hips a lot, even though the habit was broken for awhile when I was in ROTC. I try not to do it...but I do love looking down and seeing my rings "BLING" in the sunshine on this hand! Can't wait for another band to add to it! :-)

Day 22 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Complete! (and shiny!)

Day 21: Faceless Self-Portrait

I kinda like my feet. :-)
(This was an attempt at Bokeh earlier, it didn't work, I tried again, still just a pic of my feet, so it goes in here!)
Not an entire Self-Portrait, but it still counts!!

Day 21 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Complete!

Day 20: Bokeh

Ok, not gonna lie, I did not take this picture on 6.20.11. I took it back on 6.06.11 for "From a Low Angle". I tried taking a few others pics for "Bokeh" and none of them turned out as nicely as this one did. I will keep trying and hopefully get it down--it's a nice photographic tool to know how to use!

So...Day 20 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Done...even if it is "kinda cheating!" ;-)

Day 19: Something Orange

Today is Father's Day, so we went to my parent's house for a little cook-out! We made hotdogs on the fire...which is Orange! Worked out well! :-)

Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there!!!

Day 19 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Complete! (And warm!)

Day 18: Your shoes

Kickin' it old-school!!! Love these shoes. :-)

Day 18 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Complete! (And Kick-ASS!)

Day 17: Technology

My Mac may be a bit old ('05 model, so maybe ancient by computer standards!) but she gets all the jobs done that I ask of her! We use her a LOT to look up the weather...so that's another form of technology on Mac's screen there! :=)

Day 17 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Complete!

Day 16: Long Exposure

This is a photo of traffic at night...I kinda really love it!

Day 16 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Done!

Day 15: Silhouette

It turned out a bit darker than I intended, but it's there! It's looking northwest, toward the sunset, with a storm coming in...the silhouette is of the big tree out front and the treeline across the road.

Day 15 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Complete!

Day 14: Eyes

Self-explanatory, I hope. They are a little greener today than normal...hmm!

Day 14 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Complete!

Day 13: Yourself with 13 Things

This picture was one of the harder ones for me to take; I couldn't find a good place to get a good picture with 13 things. But, I did it! I guess everything here has importance in my life...some more than others. It as fun walking around grabbing things I wanted in the picture! Can you name all 13 items??? ;-)

Day 13 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Complete!

Day 12: Sunset

Sunsets over Lake Erie are AMAZING!

Day 12 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Complete! (and Breathtaking!)

Day 11: Something Blue

I decided to take a picture of 3 blue things I uses almost daily: my wallet, my can koozie, and my workout watch.
First: my wallet rocks! It's an Initials, Inc wallet, bought from my friend Andy Baker. I absolutely love all their products! (And I own damn near the entire catalog now!)
Second: my koozie says "#1 At EVERYTHING" and I don't let Josh forget that!
Third: my "S2H" watch not only tells me the time and date, but it also logs how much physical activity I get at any given time! After 60 minutes of activity, it gives me a code to log into the website and I get rewards for my physical activity! Totally awesome! It's completely win-win!

Day 11 of the 30 Day Photography Challenge = Complete! (And plugging!)
