Photo Challenge

I'm caught up downloading photos to the photo blog (#37), and I've made a couple of observations.  First, I missed one day in January and five days in February.  It really did slip my mind, so I was actually surprised that I had as many photos as I did.  I'll make up the missed days at the end of the year.  Second, I take a lot of pictures of my cat and the sky!  I guess this isn't too much of a surprise.  Nahla is generally the center of my attention when I'm at home, and I've always paid attention to the sky (this is what happens when your father is a meteorologist!).  But it does make me want to branch out some... try to push myself to go a little outside the box.  Also, I want to work on the composition of my pictures.  I am purposely not editing or cropping these photos.  The only one I cropped was the one of the goose, because it really did make a big difference in how it looked...

Speaking of sky, though, I want to include several photos I took on a cloudy from the roof parking lot at Fresh Market.  It had been a bad day, and the store was out of the chicken salad that I went there to buy, but when I came out, this is what I saw...



Just beautiful.  And it's extra amazing that the photos were actually able to capture the colors and cloud patterns.  These make me smile!

At any rate, I am making a concerted effort to get back on track with my pictures.  Maybe I need to make a sub-task of making it through a whole month with no photos of my cat.  But she's so cute!
