Project 52: Reflection

This week was my turn to pick the theme and I chose reflection. I know I should have chosen something Easter themed but I know not everyone celebrates it.  Don't worry there is a post coming later with a little bunny love.

I took these images the other day when we were rained in. Zachary loves looking out and watching the rain with me but he loves his reflection even more. He's vain like that. He's pretty cute though so I don't blame him. I tell him if I looked like that I'd probably love mine too.

Yes, that is him kissing his own reflection. Did I mention how much he loves his reflection? =)

To continue on with the circle go check out how Jennifer Capozzola interpreted the theme here.

Off to fill plastic eggs with blueberry puffs for my little bunny.

Project 52: Absence of Light, Shadows, Night

Our theme this week for Project 52 was absence of light, shadows, night. I had plans to do a little family portraits outside tonight but the rain had other plans. I was just thankful that it held out for my shoot today. So instead I just rounded up some fake candles (don't worry I did not let my baby play with fire-lit candles) that we had and let Zachary play. I would still love to do the family portrait I was planning so hopefully I will get a chance when the rain lets up.

Laughter.

I just joined a group with some wonderful women/photographers that I met through the Bloom Forum. It's a Project 52 where we take a picture every week based off of an overall topic. This was our topic was laughter. Normally this would be the perfect topic for me. I LOVE, I repeat LOVE, photographing laughter. This week however has been a rough one. I don't really want to get into details but we are going through a tough time at the moment so in case you were wondering why I have been posting less that has a lot to do with it. Sometimes life hits you with one thing after another. It really teaches you to stop saying "Could this be any worse?" Because it can. I said this once two weeks ago and ended up backwards on a freeway so I learned my lesson. Eventually there will be nowhere to go but up. So bring on the April showers. I will find the puddles to splash in until it stops and the rainbow appears. 

As much as I try to teach Zachary everyday I should really take a lesson from him. That boy smiles through anything. His little baby giggles are infectious and can really brighten any rainy day!
