Surprise

Nothing says happy 70th Birthday like a surprise party with all the grand kids :) 

Picture a Day

I'm getting back into the swing of things and picking up where I left off on my 366 day photo challenge. I have upgraded my lens, editing program and have been super busy taking and editing pictures! Woo Hoo

Trees, Birds & Dogs

It was a beautiful day for a run a the reservoir today. I even brought my camera out after we finished our run and caught some of the sites.

Camping Sunset

Keeping with the camping theme. Another perk of camping in the Outer Banks is being able to watch the sunset from our campground too!

Camping Sunrise

This is a sunrise from our campground in the Outer Banks. I took this picture last April. One of the things I loved the most about camping in the Outer Banks was being able to watch the sunrise over the ocean and the sun set over the sound every day and night.

I am having an awesome Birthday! It is the afternoon and I am still in my pjs :) I played hooky from church and the boys cub scout service project. No raking leaves for us today. Instead I have been marathoning photography podcasts and finalizing a new shawl knitting pattern.  I have taken a few knitting brakes to take pictures around the house.

I am not the type of person to make New Years Resolutions, but I am going to make a Birthday Resolution. From today until this day next year I am going take at least one photograph, edit it and share it. If I don't take a picture each day I am going to allow myself to pull a picture from my files and edit it.  I have a lot of pictures that need some love and need to be shared.

My boys and dogs were slightly willing to help me out with my new venture. I felt bad because Rocky was posing so nice, but I couldn't get my settings right. He got bored and fell asleep during his shoot.

Rudee was bright and alert.

I had to include a picture of my new sparkly yarn. I can't wait to get this pattern finished up. This is my third time knitting it. I just noticed the color of this shawl matches Rudee's collar.

Along with my 366 picture day project (yes there are 366 days in 2016 since it is a leap year) I am putting a few more things on the plate.

#AndeeKF366

I will complete the following before 11/22/16

1. Take a picture or edit one picture and share it everyday for 366 days in a row (I will share it on my Blog, Instagram, FB & Pinterest).

2. Take 6 online photography classes.

3. Attend 4 photography workshops.

4. Complete two paid photography shoots.

5. Print 35 of my photographs and display them in my house.

I think 35 is going to be a good age! I have had such a passion for photography and I want it to shine bright this year. After a year of doing it as a hobby I will see if I will take it to the next level! Get ready to see lots of pictures.
