This week has probably been the most stressful and emotionally unsettling of my entire working life. Consequently, the photo project has suffered even more than usual and I even missed a day. I am past the 300 day mark now, so there really is only 60 or so days to go. I CAN do this.
Day 298 - I really wanted to get a nice photo of mine and Bear's hands as a nice keepsake. It didn't quite go to plan because we weren't really in the mood and I had the Lensbaby on, which made it super tricky at close range. The photos really didn't come out well. They were pretty flat and I couldn't get the colour right.. so I slapped on a filter. I really do think that is cheating but at least I have more useable photos. Having watched so many photoshop tutorials now I am wondering how it would look if I could brush some of the filter off our hands. I haven't done that here though.

Day 299 - I still had the Lensbaby on and snapped the first thing I could see. I kind of like it though.
Day 300 - DAY 300!! Can you believe that I took such an awful picture? I wasn't even conscious that it was day 300.
Day 301- But as bad as day 300 was, at least I took a picture! I didn't take a photo on day 301. I got back from work so very late and I was exhausted by the pressures of the week. As I sat down with a glass of wine I considered taking a photo but then I had the thought that no one actually cares if I take a photo or not. I don't mean that to sound like self pity. It was just a reflection that in the big scheme of things it is totally fine to let that day go.
Day 302 - Back on the horse again and a return to taking photos of the kids as they are engrossed in other stuff.
Day 303 - A busy day for Bear as she had two birthday parties to attend. This girl is having the best time since starting school. It is a little overwhelming at times and she is tired, but her world has just got so much bigger. I am also loving having an entry into girls parties. I always suspected that they would be different to the boys. Just look at the gorgeous face paint she got at one of the parties.
Day 304 - Our second basketball game. This time we met up with granddad D. It was a brilliant day out in London. It took place in the Olympic Park, so we got to visit that for the first time. We will return for a better look. I have just got to swim in the Aquatic Centre.
Day 305 - Today. I have had the joy of a whole day on my own with my photos to edit and tutorials to watch. Jasmine Cat joined me for a while and I took the opportunity to get her picture and allow myself to relax about getting the daily photo. Job done!
60 days to go...
