Project 364: Days 227-233

The 3rd week of {hard light}. Still struggling and still learning. I love the hard light photos my peers take, but I have a tough time handling the contrast in my own photos, and I've found that I tend to mute the contrast a bit to soften them up. I think I've also run out of places at home to take original photos....they all showcase the same activities month after month, and while I love watching how Sweet Girl develops and learns to do things differently, I'm aching for a change of scenery. Regardless, I have learned, and I've learned I don't just have to take photos in the style of the month just so they fit in my 365 project. I've taken photos that just tug at my heartstrings, no matter the kind of light.

227.365 We found some books that had been stored away because we had so many out. When we got them back out, it was like Christmas morning for you.

228.365 Once again in the too small onesie and backward bib serving accidentally as a cape, you were furious because I didn't read yet another book ---your 50th before 9am---immediately.

229.365 You love going down slides, and now you're a big kid so you do them all by yourself most of the time. Sometimes you lie at the bottom of the slide and pretend to be sleeping. It's quite the joke between us.

230.365 Taking a moment to relish the beautiful day.

231.365 I called your name, and for once you looked at me, even with a smile, not even minding the sun in your eyes.

232.365 I'll miss the day when you dance alone and don't need Mommy's finger for twirling.

233.365 We rarely make it back into the house without an apple or pear in your hands.
