Step Inside
I have shared this gate other times before. I really liked the honeysuckle this time as well, so the window had to come along. Textured with Kim’s texture Oh My.

Week 16 of Project 366
Day 106: I was told this was part of a wildflower, that might be part of the pea family. Day 107: A soccer buddy. Day 108: One of my son’s many Bionicles. Day 109: A day down in Corrales, this outside of the used bike shop. I love what you can find there. Day 110: My favorite gate down the street. I like to photograph it during different seasons. Day 111: My little pal. We were chilling out on the front porch. (Taken on my iPhone.) Day 112: My dinner, taco salad. Also taken with my iPhone.

There is this tree next door that was full of red berries a few months ago. I never noticed before that the berries bloomed.

A Wordful Wednesday
Down the roadish, there is a little town. Corrales, NM. One of the smaller towns in the area, but they all feed right into Albuquerque, so not that noticeable. Corrales is a bit of an artsy town compared to everywhere else around ABQ. I love driving down the main road. Which is really the only way to drive around there. I have posted pictures before from over there, but I have some great ones from today. Some will have to wait until Scavenger Hunt Sunday.
Gonna have to repost this on Sunday, but when I saw this old tractor just holding up shop with this tree, I had to have it. After adjusting the levels, I textured it with Kim Klassen’s Finale. Then I added an action that I can’t remember who it belongs to, sorry lovely artist. ~~Linking this to: Texture Tuesdays and Tones on Tuesday~~
Isn’t this just a colorful, welcoming entrance? ~~Linking this to: Sweet Shot Tuesday ~~
I just loved this bike. Enough to go back and look at it. I was hoping it was used and would be cheaper than it was. ~~Linking this to: Show Off Your Shot and Photo Show Off~~
Albertson’s had some very lovely flowers outside for sale. These are some of the shots I got with my macro lens.
Now onto some advice. Or thoughts if you will. I am pleased with WordPress (free) but I don’t like not being able to play around with the font or being able to create galleries of my photo themes. I also would like to offer my shots for sale. I would like to hear everyone else’s thoughts on these. I have tried out RedBubble, and like how it shows off your shots but have not sold anything on there because it is still too unknown. I have tried out Smug Mug but not sure it is my most favorite. I like showcasing my extra shots (and daily photos) on Flickr but I am on the free account so it only shows 200 shots at a time. I want the beginning shots back in my theme showcasing. Of course I would rather have it all in one place, it would be so much easier. I have heard Squarespace is really good, pricey, but easy to use. I have seen some ProPhoto blogs that I also like. I guess I am at the point that I wouldn’t mind spending a little each month for a site, but not sure I want to pay for Flickr and a website. So what do you think?

Week 15
Day 99: A prompt for Texture Tuesdays, for Little Things. I had many more pictures taken in Easter Sunday, but I also shared many of them in other prompts. Day 100: The top of the sugar water egg my mom made for me. She used one of the YoYos I had made last year. Day 101: Mr B enjoys his fries and cheese burger at Wendy’s. Day 102: My mom volunteers at Mr B’s school. They had a luncheon for the volunteers on Tuesday. She brought this flower bunch home. I realized again that I need to figure that macro lens out better because it focused in again on the stems in the middle of the flower. Day 103: A rose I picked off of a bunch being thrown away at work, textured with two of Kim Klassen’s textures. Day 104: Standing outside on the balcony. I have shown this tree in other seasons as well. Day 105: My new addiction, Words With Friends. At least it uses your brain =). I also wanted to state that I also post daily pictures on Flickr, where they can be seen full size.
The Best of Week 15
It was hard to top last week, what with Easter and all. In fact, I didn’t have any really amazing shots this week. I did go out today, though, and got a few to talk about.
This purple flower is a desert plant. A weed perhaps. Lovely little purple petals is has though. I had bent to take the picture of the petals when I noticed those weird looking “leaves” in the top shot. I am not sure if they are in the same plant or if that is how close another plant was growing. A little further up the path, I caught this little bee while I was trying to capture another shot.
