365 Project - Day 251

"Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, 
but to add color to my sunset sky."

~Rabindranath Tagore~

365 Project - Day 250

Very rarely, a day will come, when I don't take a picture. Today is one of those days. I have been busy doing other stuff today and although, I've had my camera in my hands a few times, I actually did not take a picture with it! But I have so many pictures that I have not shared yet, it wasn't hard to find one for today. I love this picture of Niklas taken yesterday in the cherry orchard. He is so fascinated with nature and is also a dreamer. He loves just to stare at nature's beauty and enjoy it.

365 Project - Day 249 Schwetzingen

Yesterday on our way home from the shoot swap in Heidelberg, we drove by the Schwetzingen Castle gardens. The sun was already set but I could see all these beautiful flowering cherry trees and knew I wanted to get back to get some pictures before the blossoming time was over. We headed over there today just before sunset time and I was able to get some pictures.

Niklas just loved running around the gardens! We could hardly get him to come with us when it was time to leave. In fact, he tried to hide!

I have so many more pictures from today, I've got 12 up so far in flickr and will be posting more when I have time to get to them! http://www.flickr.com/photos/fantasiaphotos/sets/72157623682625801/

Right now, I'm off to bed (*yawn*)!

365 Project - Day 248 Sneak Preview Photo Shoot Swap in Heidelberg

Today I got to do my first photo shoot swap with another mom from a photography forum I'm on. She's from America but is here in Germany right now visiting family. It was so much fun to meet someone that I only know from internet and be able to see them and hear them in person!

We got to take pictures of each other taking pictures. It's always fun to see what's happening behind the camera and not only the finished pictures.

Isn't she great, how she balances kids and camera. She takes fantastic pictures! Be sure to check her out: http://www.wix.com/SJRosaPhotography/SJRosaPhotography

And of course, we had to get a few pictures of our kids!

365 Project - Day 247

My advice to the women of America is to raise more hell and fewer dahlias

~William Allen White ~

I just planted some dahlias today on our balcony. I love how they look so bright against the sky... 
I guess I'm just not into "raising hell"...
