April 30-May 6, 2013
I’m determined to finish my blog post for each week, even though I am fully six weeks from the finish of the 365 Photo Project.
This was a fun week because week 50 had me back to Palm Springs as a mid way point for our trip to Puerto Vallarta.
But before we got out of town, I had a few more shots in Anchorage to get.
As in previous weeks, many of my shots were taken in the late evening to capture some of the fun and beautiful setting sun light. This shot of the two frogs is no different.
I had shot these frogs before in my quest to shoot a picture a day, but they never made the cut until this week. These frogs were a gift from my mom. She and my dad collect these in their home
I went for a walk on Wednesday to take advantage of the improving weather (at the time). I came across this water flowing through dirt.
This was a small bit of water, but it reminded me of satellite shots of landscapes in the interior of Alaska. Â It looks like a river delta, but only very small.
The May 2 shot was supposed to be the last snow shot of the year. Unbelievably, there will be another.
This is the backyard and the slowly melting snow. This is really a lot of snow for May 2 in Alaska!
On Friday, I was out for a walk and I saw this guy blowing giant bubbles in the park.
I shot this with my iPhone. Â I had been wanting to get shots of this guy, but it was hard to find him. I’d seen him around town, but never was it convenient to get a shot of him. It was one of the few times I went for a walk without my Canon DSLR. Â Always be prepared, but the iPhone did a good enough job.
Saturday saw us in Palm Springs!
Here we were on the back patio enjoying some wine in the setting sun! Â We were having a blast.
On Sunday, we went for a hike.
There was a humming bird feeder at the information cabin at the top of the hike. Â I was trying to get some good shots of the birds as they fed.
I was also quite taken with the cacti on the hike. We hiked about six miles across the desert. Â It was a nice journey. Â This is one of my favorites from the cacti shots.
Finally, there is the palm tree shot I love.
I love palm trees in the light of the setting sun. I particularly like the colors and the deepness of the blues.
Next is week 51 and the shots in Mexico!
