52:1 - Conversation

Here it is,

Week One

of the new 52 Photos Project year.

 

Our first prompt is:  Conversation.

 

 

 

Max is schooling his new "sister" Gracie

in the proper way to play ball.

I couldn't post the video with sound -

Max wasn't using very "delicate" language.

 

Check out more conversations at

52 Photos Project.

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

At about 11 weeks old, Grace tends to annoy the heck out of 9-year-old Max, but he's beginning to get used to her.

 

 

 

 

Even if she does wear him out sometimes.

 

 

 

But, honestly, who could resist this?

 

 

 

Max & Gracie own my friend Marilyn, and she wouldn't have it any other way.

52 Photos Project: Self Portrait

It's Week 52

and our prompt is

Self Portrait

 

 

This is my Nikon Coolpix.

I carry it nearly everywhere.

Since I take a lot of my photos while driving,

I thought this would be apropos.

 

 

Check out the 52 Photos Project Gallery

for more Self Portraits!

52 Photos Project: My Favorite Place

There are many, many places that I favor, but I couldn't pick a favorite one.

 

This was taken in one of the places I love.

Generally I refer to these as

the local mountains.

 

 

On the map, though,

they are the

San Gabriel Mountains.

And these, more specifically,

were on Mt. Baldy.

 

For more favorites,

check out the gallery

at the 52 Photo Project.

52 Photos Project: Layers

This week's prompt for the

52 Photos Project is

 

LAYERS.

 

 

My first thought was to take a picture of some

chickens,

but that didn't work out for me this time.

So here is my next thought:

 

 

This is one of the Eucalyptus trees

that line the streets of

Claremont, California.

 

I've long been fascinated by their peeling bark,

so yesterday I stopped & snapped some shots.

This is a Blue Gum.

Blue Gum Eucalypts are one of the major sources of eucalyptus oil which can be used as an essential oil, in herbal teas & medications for a few examples.

However, it can also cause contact dermatitus, headaches & convulsions, and even be fatal if ingested.
