One Little Word | Captured, Week 12 & 13

This update brings us to week 13 of One Little Word which means, scarily enough, that this project - and 2011 - is one-quarter the way through already. How quickly that has passed! To be completely honest, I have been quite delinquent in the record-keeping part of this project. (I'm not sure that I've even finished the January assignment yet and here comes the April assignment right around the corner! Whoops!) Thankfully, Jill Conyers' photo challenge has kept my word present for me every week in my mind, if not on paper.

One Little Word | Captured, Week 11

This weekend, I packed up the kids and the three of us headed out for a long weekend away. It was a chance for my children to spend time with their two cousins and for me to get some quality time with one of my sisters, Tania. For my poor brother-in-law, it just meant being displaced from his bedroom, his bathroom and his car.

One Little Word | Captured, Week 10

As a result of the One Little Word project, I find myself, in spare moments, pondering my word (progress) and taking stock of how I’m doing.

Picture Inspiration, Week 1

Much to Elise's dismay, I'm happy to report that I have picked up another online photography workshop. Perhaps you remember my posts on the Picture Winter workshop in which I shot images for the 31 days of January? (You can see my posts from that series here). Our leader from that class, Tracey Clark, founder of Shutter Sisters, has just started a new workshop/community called Picture Inspiration over at Big Picture Classes. I've signed up and will be blogging about the story behind my submissions for each of the 52 weekly prompts. (Forgive me in advance if I should miss one or two!)

One Little Word | Captured, Week 6

It's been a bit of a slow week, one-little-word-wise.  So I thought I'd draw from my (not so vast) archives for this week's image for the One Little Word | Captured photo challenge.
