Daily photo challenge - week 12 is complete - PROGRESS

Progress.....
 Well, it's progress that I made it to the 
end of the week and have actually 
taken a photo every day.

Yup - it's been one of those weeks.
Sunday to Tuesday in New Plymouth 
for my step-grandad's funeral
and then a full on week getting ready for 
our little family holiday.

In the middle of it all, I did celebrate 
one of my favourite days of the year -
check out 21.3.12

I'm posting my pics one photo early this week
as we're off on holiday tomorrow morning.

P.S - If you haven't already checked them out
please take a look at my pics from my

Daily photo challenge - week 11 is complete - TOYS

This week's theme is TOYS

and discovered a few more things about our tripod.

Daily photo challenge - week ten is complete - KIWIANA

This week's theme was Kiwiana. 
The options were aplenty with this one.
 
I had a very hectic week, including two days in Wellington, 
but luckily I still managed to find some time to think about my pics.
 
I have to confess - when it comes to 6.3.12,
I'm torn about which pic to post - 
so I'm cheating and posting two.

A fun filled family day on Saturday was certainly 
a great way to top off a busy week.

Week 10...........what it is to be a Kiwi kid, 
something unique about NZ, 
Kiwi treasures........

My holy grail

Daily photo challenge - week nine is complete - UP

This week's theme was UP 
and I managed to get a few theme-related pics.
I had one of those weeks where I was spoilt for choice one day (26.2.12) 
and the next day (27.2.2) I had a great plan
but the end result wasn't quite what I wanted 
and I didn't have the time to try again.
But I did have fun playing around one night 
when I had the house to myself -
thankfully Captain Teddy was a a patient subject 
so I managed to try different camera settings 
and light sources.
