morning has broken

Today I didn't continue with the Be _____ Title for my blog entry. When I took this photo on my way to work this morning, the song "Morning has Broken" came into my head. It was always one of my favorite songs as a child in church and today it fit. Morning finally broke through the storm. I kept trying to come up with a adjective that fit, but nothing seemed to fit as well as Morning has Broken. So thats what we've got. This picture perhaps better shows what I love about a winter storm from yesterday's Be Magical post.



I've been struggling all week with the topic for this week's challenge - not because I don't know what to shoot but rather that its been hard to decide what that perfect shot is. Each day I took at least one shot of something colorful in hopes that it would be the one. Each one didn't turn out quite as awesome as I'd hoped. I think the problem is that I love colorful, vibrant photos. I try to make them all colorful and vivid. The photo I'm going to use is one you've seen before, but I adored the color of the sky that night and it's fairly recent.

be magical

There's something magical about a blustery winter storm. The world slows down, people stay in with their families and friends, and everything gets covered in a sparkling, soft blanket. It looks like a fairytale even. Despite everything I say about hating the cold and wet winters of the Maritimes, I am going to miss days like this.

be a lady

- bug, that is. This wasn't my planned post for today. I had pictures taken earlier tonight that were going to be part of a post called be sticky. They'll have to wait for a different time though, cause these turned out way better. I was sitting in the livingroom on my mom's mac, talking to FH on msn about wedding plans when this little gal (or guy?) flew into the room and landed on an upside down glass bowl, just hanging out and posing for me. The funny thing? My camera was on the table beside the glass bowl. I think she wanted to pose. I can't believe I'm shooting lady bugs on Dec 3 during a huge snowstorm!

be vibrant

I'm a little disappointed with my pictures for today. They didn't quite turn out as well as I hoped - I knew I was heading to MAC today anyway to pick up a new Gleam after my last one broke (http://bememorable.blogspot.com/2007/11/shattered-gleam.html) and so I was hoping to do some vibrant eyeshadow shots while I was there for this week's contest. As I said - not quite as awesome as I'd hoped so I'm gonna have to try to get out shooting again or see if i have any old shots that are better.

be warm

okay so it wasn't anything that could possibly be considered warm outside today. It was freezing cold with a snow storm. My pictures today though are about warm light. Rich, warm, late afternoon sunlight. I have to say this is my favorite part of the day.
