Z is for Zen

Last one! And I have to say, I'm relieved. Taking a halfway decent picture every single day is NO JOKE. I started off strong and about halfway through I felt like I had lost all my steam and my photos were getting worse instead of better. Some days I definitely put in more effort than others, and it showed.

But I'm so glad I took on the challenge and glad I stuck it out. I definitely learned a few things and got lots of both encouraging and helpful feedback from the class. I knew at the end of it if I had at least gotten one shot that I loved then it would be a win, and I definitely think I did that. If you're curious, here are my favorites:

S is for Sugar
L is for Lucky Strike
C is for Cookies and Milk
T is for Torture
H is for Humiliation
R is for Rain
Q is for Quiet
And of course, B is for Baby

Q is for Quiet

It was so weird this morning to look outside and see so much fog with the sun shining. I decided it would make a nice Q picture for a quiet morning in the cul-de-sac.

One more picture left tomorrow (Z). Then we get to move on to the really fun stuff -- baby talk!

K is for Keyboard

A long day/evening at work, combined with me being down to letters Q, Z, and K had me stressed. Then I realized I had been sitting in front of a K all day! This was an iPhone + Instagram product.

O is for Orchid

These are the orchids Lee gave me for Valentine's Day. I love how the first one almost seems to pop off the picture.

B is for Baby!

That's right, we're expecting! Due date is September 4th. More details to come :)

E is for Eerie

We're having some rough weather today, but the clouds rolling in was kind of a cool sight.

J is for Jell-O

I really struggled with this one. Who knew jell-o was so hard to photograph? This was actually taken in the refrigerator (the light in there isn't half bad!). I tried again this morning in the daylight but the pictures were even worse! Oh well, moving on...
