Yesterday was the last day of the challenge. I'm sad that it's over because it's brought me lots of great inspiration for photos and I've had a lot of fun with it. I will definitely be snapping more photos because of it though. I may participate in the weekly inspiration challenge that Mary is doing on flickr now that this is done. Anyway, the last photo for the challenge was a self portrait. So, here you go, my final picture of this 30 Day Photography Challenge.

Have you guys enjoyed my photos? Would you like to see more photography on my blog? I sure have had a good time looking at everyone else's photos! Thanks for following along with me during this challenge!

Today's photo is black and white. I'm not big on black and white photography. I will admit it can look really, really neat and I'm not against having black and white photos around but I really love color so having my pictures in color is what I prefer. With that being said, I knew the kind of look I wanted to have for my black and white photo. I didn't achieve it exactly but it's kinda close to how I envisioned it to be.

If you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment so I can check out all of your black and white photos!!

Today's picture is of flowers. I love flowers. I love taking pictures of nature related things. I like to document life but for some reason nature is just fascinating and fun to photograph. Anyway... Collin and I planted sunflowers this spring in hopes that they would sprout this summer but we think the squirrels ate the seeds... there was evidence of something digging where we planted them and we were quite disappointed. Fortunately the neighbor planted some and they have grown tall enough that we can see them over the fence! LOVE!

Even though it may look like it I did not edit these photos at all. They look the way they do just from my camera settings themselves! Also, if you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment. I'd love to see your flower photos!

Today's photo is from a distance! This one was pretty neat I thought. I had a fun time imagining how the shot would turn out for this. For some reason while I was shooting I kept singing the Supremes song, "Stop in the Name of Love". I wonder why?...

If you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment so I can check out your shots from a distance!

This post is from yesterday. Yesterday's picture was a close up. I have only recently gotten into taking close ups. I think they're really, really neat though! I took a few different shots but I thought this one was the coolest. And let me tell you, taking this picture gave me the heebie jeebies. I am terrified of spiders and while I know Daddy Long Legs can't technically hurt humans with their bites (apparently their fangs are too small to puncture human skin) it still creeps me out. I only now thought of using the zoom to get an even closer up shot of the spider, oh well, next time...

If you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment. I wanna check out all your close ups! I've seen some incredible things captured in close ups!

This post is from Saturday. I may as well have just posted all my weekend posts on Mondays cause that seems to have been the trend this month. This is why I don't make regular posts on the weekends. I never seem to have the time to get on here!

Anyway... Saturday's picture was of something pink. This was HARD. I have SO much pink (it's my favorite color) it was ridiculously hard to figure out what I wanted to take a picture of. So I decided to get creative with it instead of going with the obvious and this is what you have! I absolutely love these hangers for drying clothes on. And the pink isn't so bad itself. ; )

If you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment! I wanna check out your awesome pink shots!

Today's picture is of an animal. I decided that since I post pictures of Stank on here all the time I wanted to take a picture of a different animal today. I happened to see a bunch of ducks in the creek under the foot bridge at the River Concert today so I took some photos.

If you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment. I'd love to see your animal pictures! I love animals!

And because I love my Stank-y boy so much and I think he's a handsome cat, I had to post a picture of him, too! ; )

Day 23's photo was of a sunflare. We had no sun yesterday. Or rather it was playing hide behind the clouds all day. So unfortunately I wasn't able to get an actual sunflare (or sun burst) picture. It made me really sad, BUT as I was leaving the house for work yesterday I snapped this photo. I thought it was stunning. I literally walked out the front door, saw this, stopped and gasped, then grabbed my camera. =) It kinda has a sun burst effect. And I LOVE the contrast between the clouds. There was so many different cloud types and colors.

I also really like that it has a silhouette in it. It makes up for my not so good (in my opinion) silhouette picture from earlier in the challenge.
And here's another without the front porch blocking the top of the view.

If you're participating in the challenge, did you have trouble finding the sun yesterday? Leave me a comment. I wanna see your pictures!

Imagine that I posted this last night... I took my pictures and then we went across the street and ended up in conversation with the neighbor's until it was bedtime so I didn't get a chance to post this. Anyway... the prompt for the day was hands. No other hands make me feel more safe and loved than these. They hold my hands, they rub my back to comfort me when I'm upset, they make the most beautiful music, they work hard all day long to provide for our family. I love these hands.

If you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment. I'd love to see your pictures of hands!

Today's post for the challenge is a faceless self portrait. I had a bit of fun with this one. I was really liking the way my hair looked today so I wanted it to show in the picture but I couldn't show my face so I just decided to look away from the camera. I got a few good shots and couldn't decide between these two to post.

If you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment! I'd love to see your faceless self portraits. It's been fun seeing what the other participants come up with for each different challenge!

This post is supposed to be for Sunday. As I said in day 18 for this challenge, I was pretty busy all weekend and never got a chance to post my pictures. The day 18 photo is of something orange. I really enjoy doing word searches and I like to fill them out with a highlighter. I think it makes it look pretty. One of the highlighters I use is orange! Perfect for this day's challenge!

If you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment. I'd love to see your orange things!

This post is supposed to be for Saturday. I was quite busy this weekend and didn't get a chance to post my photos. The picture for day 18 was of your shoes. I love these flip flops. They are super comfortable and quite cute (I think anyway). Plus, I have a furry little friend at my feet who makes the picture adorable. ; )

If you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment, I love shoes so I'd like to look at your shoe pictures!

Today's photo is of technology. We have so much technology in our house. Actually, there's technology all around us, even in the things we may not realize. But anyway... I'm sitting here blogging away while my husband and his friend Alan are playing Little Big Planet on the PS3 and I figured this was a pretty good representation of our favorite technologies. =)

If you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment! I'd love to see what technology you took a picture of!

Today's photo is of long exposure. I was really excited about the aspect of this day because I think long exposure makes for some awesome pictures! I had toyed with all these ideas of where to go and what to take a picture of but I ultimately decided on our club type laser that Collin bought for a rave he threw on New Year's Eve a few years back. So we hooked it up, put on some trance music, danced and then I snapped away! I got SO many awesome photos but I'll only share a few with you here.

If you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment. I wanna see your long exposure shots! They turn out so awesome!

Today's post is of a silhouette. I've never purposefully taken a silhouette photo before and I don't know that I've ever unintentionally taken one before either. Anyway... this was very challenging for me. Especially since I have an extremely difficult time holding the camera still to take a picture without the flash. Sadness. This was pretty much the best out of like 30 takes. My husband started out as a willing subject but soon grew weary of me saying "Wait... it was blurry. Let me try it again."

If you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment. I'd love to see your silhouette pictures!

I'm posting this on the day it's supposed to be! Yay! Today's photo is of eyes. If I could be vain for a minute, I just want to say that I love my eyes. If I had to pick my favorite physical feature about myself it would be my eyes. Okay, end my vain moment. But with that said, I love Collin's eyes even more. I told him at lunch on our back porch (when we took these photos) that if our babies don't have amazing eyes like ours I'll be disappointed. But how could they not when we both have blue eyes, right? Anyway... here's our pretty blue eyes.

And as an added bonus you get pretty green cat eyes, too!

If you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment. I'd love to see all the pretty eyes you've taken pictures of!

P.S. I did not edit these pictures at all. The colors are exactly how they look in the picture.

So I've been completely one day behind on this challenge for a few days now (at least posting-wise, my pictures have been taken on time) and that is just sad! Today I am going to catch up and post the picture for today this evening! The picture for Day 13 was to be of yourself and 13 things. This one was really hard for me. I wanted to do something creative but I wasn't sure what to post or do. And then it hit me. I love shoes. I have way more than 13 pairs of shoes. I could take a picture of me and a bunch of my shoes! So that's what you get. =)

If you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment. I wanna see what you guys came up with!

This post is also late. It was a busy weekend and I just didn't really have the time to post my pictures on time! Anyway, the photo for this day is of sunsets. I absolutely love sky pictures and sunset pictures are even better! The colors in the sky just remind me of the magnificence of God and all the amazing things He creates. It's like He's showcasing just how truly amazing He is and it humbles me immensely! And the even cooler thing about this particular sunset, it was just after we had a really bad storm here and a rainbow was in the sky! Therefore you're not getting just one but three pictures!

If you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment. I'd love to see your sunset pictures! I really do love pictures of the sky!

This post is really for yesterday. I took this picture yesterday I was just so busy I didn't get the chance to upload it! The photo for yesterday was to be of something blue. Surprisingly this was hard for me. I love blue and I encounter lots of blue stuff every day but nothing that I wanted to take a picture of for this challenge. Then I saw this and thought to myself, this could be really cool! So here's our watering can covered in water! We had a bad thunderstorm before I took it.

If you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment! I wanna check out your something blue pictures!

Today's photo is of a childhood memory. I have sooo many fond childhood memories so it was really hard to choose, but because it's so warm outside I have been very nostalgic for the times playing in the yard with the sprinklers and the hose. We used to hold the water hose in our hands and stick our thumbs over it for a nice misty spray. I loved it!

What are some fond childhood memories of yours? If you're participating in the challenge, leave me a comment. I'd love to check out your pictures!
