After a two week absence I'm cheating. This is a picture taken with my iPhone so it isn't the best quality but this is a shot of a strawberry turnover in progress made with my own personal jam!! I made FRESH jam about two weeks ago and have been seeking recipes to use to use up the massive quantity of preserves I ended up with. Yum yum. The turnovers were a total success.

Shameless plug: I blogged about it too. t.co/f2viV4x

Week Two: Clouds

I've had this shot in mind since I saw the project themes. I knew that I wanted to do a shot that would have balloons against a cloudy sky... and the color of the balloons would reflect the gender of my baby who is being born in December.

Sadly, it has been raining every day this week and I've been busy. Today we have blue skies but they are TOO BLUE... as in, not many clouds. So I stood outside in the 100 degree heat, with the wind blowing my balloons all over the place waiting for some clouds to come by and for the balloons to behave. I had to crop out some of the fence, some trees and my son's playhouse. I know there aren't many clouds in this but if you look at the bottom you can see one!!

I'd reshoot if I could... but I let the balloons go at the end of the shoot and took some pictures of them drifting away. But now I feel like that's a bad omen!!! Crazy pregnancy brain.

I don't typically keep candy in the house so it was difficult for me to think of "something sweet" to take a picture of. I got tired of putting it off and finally snapped a few shots today. I'm torn between this and another (which I will post in comments). So here is a belated week one.

Kiwi.

Blackberries.

Bradley was not a cooperative model today. It is 70 degrees outside and beautiful. He didn't want to stay still. I think we're out growing the 'please mommy' stage. *sigh*
