Project 365 ~ Week 39


This week we are staying at my aunt and uncles house while we wait for ours to be finished. It's been fun finding my daily photo here. My aunt is an amazing gardener and we are also super close to Mission Bay.
1. My aunts Plumeria.
2. This hummingbird sits here all day guarding the feeder nearby. She's a bit selfish! It's fun to watch her though.
3. Gorgeous flower.
4. A carriage house behind a neighbors house. I got this from an alley behind the house.
5. I'm all about pretty weeds.
6. Cactus. You should see my aunts cactus garden. Crazy!
7. Tonight's sliver moon. Not the best shot of the moon. I need to try again when I can use my tripod.

Project 365 ~ Week 38


1. They are using helicopters to put up new electrical towers and their staging site is near our campground. One day we drove by to see what was going on. They drone on ALL DAY LONG...one after the other after the other. Coming and going. Anywho, I liked the colors of this one.
2. It's been so hot during the day. I just had to take Kassie to the beach.
3. The best part of camping at a lake is that every day there is something new to photograph. This day I found cattails.
4. Hmmm...these are everywhere. I can't tell if they were a nice plant that went crazy or if it's just a pretty weed.
5. Found this just today. There was a whole huge group of them by the docks.
6. Hubs spent 3 days in the hospital this week for an infection in his dialysis port. Fun times! This was the day he was released.
7. I've never seen this flower before. It's from a eucalyptus tree. It was full of bees too.

Project 365 ~ Weeks 35, 36 and 37

I know this is not the best way to participate in this weekly meme. All I can really say is life happens and moving sucks! I will strive to do better from here on out.

So, these last few weeks I have managed to take my pictures but have had no time to sit and edit and compile them into a collage. Now we are camping and I have nothing but time! I'm not out in the wilds on a vacation. We are camping near the city. In fact, the campground is only a mile from our house. The purpose is that we are removing our old house from the property and replacing it with a new home. We need to be close but a cheap yucky motel was not an option for me! We are not even roughing it. We have electric, water in camp, free wifi. What more can a girl want? I even have a real mattress in my tent. Roughing it indeed!

Week 35

1. My niece at the Boardwalk.
2. Playing with instagram on my phone.
3. Our neighbors "horny" pig.
4. Lately we have had the most gorgeous sky's.
5. Driving around I saw this cool plant.
6. This plant looks like a firework went off. So pretty even when it's brown.
7. Lots of cactus apples!

Week 36
1. My puppers.
2. Bougainvillea abounds in these here parts.
3. And other plants too!
4. My neighbor across the street. Jayden just turned 1 this week.
5. Okay, this is a total cheat. Hubs took this on his iphone. He was at the opening Chargers game and was on the field(6 feet away) during the national anthem. That's Colbie Caillet in the yellow dress. It pays to be in the sound industry!
6. Mmmmm...breakfast.
7. My mom's pet frog!

Week 37
1. A puppers in someones truck.
2. The lake near our house and where we are camping.
3. SD Sheriff helicopter.
4. Our campsite. I took 6 photo's and manually stitched them together in photoshop.
5. The first day they started to tear down the old house.
6. The second day they removed the old house from the property.
7. The third day they brought the new house in.

Project 365 ~ Week 33 & 34

My poor neglected blog! I missed posting last week so I am adding it to this weeks postings. Life has been crazy. We are in the process of moving out of our house temporarily. Not a fun task in these high heat temperatures. Anyhoodles, without further ado...

Week 33
 1. A tiny bud on a cactus plant in our yard. Actually, I think it has been dug up since I took this picture. To move this house off the lot everything inside and out has to be moved out of the way. When the new house is in place we will be replanting the yard.
2. Our house is currently surrounded by these spiders who come out at night and make huge webs. I couldn't help but poke some fun at it. (How you doin'?)
3. I have been slowly emptying my pantry to get things eaten, packed or trashed.
4. Sunset from our house.
5. Shouldn't there be a battery???
6. Yum! These mini churro's are available for $1 at Jack in the Box. I can't stand that place but I like these. They have a yummy apple filling inside.
7. Hubs has been shredding all our old checks from past bank accounts. The project is way past due!

Week 34

1. Hubs is on a Gatorade fix. It must be the heat.
2. My poor kitteh Aria. She doesn't know that a month of camping is in her near future.
3. Box tape. I discovered this stuff during my last move. It's a great organization tool.
4. Hangers!
5. A very few of the boxes needed for this move.
6. One of the friends in my circle of friends candle.
7. Our new 2 room tent. May as well be as comfortable as possible as we'll be living in it for a month. We decided it would be easier and way cheaper to camp then to stay in a fleabag motel. Moving out of your house with nowhere to go is a bit tough. When the new house is here it will have been worth all this stupid effort!...I hope!

Project 365 ~ Week 32


1. Birdhouse.
2. My grandma with a clown nose on.
3. Leaves.
4. My cousins baby enjoying his first birthday cake.
5. My soon-to-be new kitchen. Hopefully we will have our new house in place within a few months.
6. Cause everyone takes pics of their water hoses!!!
7. The sign to our local rodeo grounds.

For those interested...we live with my mom{cause she's ancient and needs lots of lookin after;) hehe} and we live in a manufactured home(Yup, that means it's a trailer). Well, it's old and falling apart so we decided to settle in for the long haul and instead of being temporary renters we will be going 50/50 with her in buying a brand new home to replace this one. We both set some ground rules to get past there being two functioning households inside these four walls. My mom gets to decorate the living room. I get full control of the kitchen. I also get the third bedroom for an office/craft room/escape to keep my sanity room. Right now the whole house is her domain and I feel like a guest. The only way I agreed to this is to assert myself for some personal space. I like to scare my mom by reminder her that I might be getting old but I have not left my child bearing years behind me quite yet. If God grants me the child I want so bad then I may lose my office. I guess I will deal with it though. Anyhoodle...

To my mother-in-law Pat... this was a very sudden decision. Hubs is supposed to have called you before you read it here. If he fails...I apologize! This is not how I wanted you to find out. But we will talk to you tomorrow(Sunday) for sure!!!

Project 365 ~ Week 31


1. My new awesomeness key to our house(Home Depot!!!).
2. Somebody forgot to water the rosemary...oops!
3. Kassie enjoying peanut butter in her bone.
4. We have had some amazing clouds over our local mountains this week. Frustratingly, I have not had my camera with me for most of my trips out. Finally I got the shot.
5. Lucy Kitteh. I know, I know. I use her a lot. She's photogenic and I usually run out of ideas of what to shoot everyday.
6. Gifts for my cousins twins first birthday this weekend.
7. I got this moon shot tonight(Friday). I thought it would compliment the full moon shot I got a few weeks ago. I shot this free hand. My settings were 1/500's, f/5.6, iso 400. (Coincidentally, those are the same settings for my full moon shot. But I used a tripod and remote for the full moon shot.)

1. Catching some air...
2. I took my niece and nephew to play in the water fountain at Viejas.
3. Downtown Ocean Beach, CA.
4.  Miss grumpy pants was mad because her mom wouldn't let her read a book. I know, I know...odd, but she reads a lot. Her bestie was in the pool with her though. She was being kinda rude to her friend.
5. The thinker.
6. Self explanatory.
7. I took my stinky puppers to the beach. I left my camera at home so this is a cell phone pic. Sunsets at the beach are the best!

6. Flower
7. I went with my friend to the tide pools and this little guy was just hanging out, cool as a cucumber. He was letting people walk right up to him for photo ops. Silly bird.

1. A puppers foot print in the sand at the beach.
2, 4, 6 & 7. A different flower in our yard each day. We have a very flowery yard!
3. My niece spent the night last weekend. On Saturday we told her that she could pick what she wanted to do. The sky's the limit(within reason). She chose to go to Old Town. Hey, it's free so yay. So we walked around Old Town, bought candy, dipped candles, toured the Whaley house(no ghosts were harmed in the making of this blog post) and of course, took lots of pictures.
5. Mmmmmm...those tomatoes look just about ready to be popped into my mouth.

1. There was an airshow last weekend and their flight path went right over our house. I finally picked my lazy bum up off the couch to go outside and shoot a quick picture of a bi-plane.
2. My kitteh Aria. What a brat she is!
3. Just a random shot of my favorite camera store here in San Diego. I finally got a flash. Now I have to learn how to use it.
4. A flower in our yard.
5. My friend Brad's birthday!
6. Yeah, I missed a day this week so this is also from Brad's birthday. This poor girl fell asleep at the table after consuming lots of cake.
7. I made the cutest little tutu for an upcoming infant photo shoot I have. I made the tutu for infants up to size 2T. Super easy and very inexpensive.
