Last month I joined in with the photography prompt by Stephanie Bryan of taking twelve photographs on the twelfth day of the month, or 12 on the Twelfth. For Stephanie this is meant to be a year long project, deciding to begin taking part in March rather than January was a big step for me. Usually I would leave projects alone if I missed the beginning. In this case, I knew about it, just simply didn’t get around to taking part. In keeping with my new philosophy of saying yes more often and not allowing some imagined arbitrary and self-inflicted rule to keep be from joining something I know I would enjoy I decided to go for it. Whether or not I add in January and February next year I haven’t yet decided.
So, back to yesterday and my second month of photos. In March most of my shots were taken with my camera, I intended for yesterday to be the same. Sadly that didn’t work out, so iPhone shots are what I have and that has to be good enough.
From the light and delicacy of 15 settling into a cosy morning.
To our shared cups of tea while Hub did the grocery shopping.
And Rosie eagerly watching for his return.
Lunch with Hub’s parents.
And a snoozy Basset who has taking it easy down to a fine art.
And 15 heading into respite.
To our walk around Pen y Fan pond.
Where Rosie realised Labradors can swim, which gave my quite a moment in case she would decide to do likewise. Meanwhile I admired the wind turbines. Yes, really, I love them.
Then off to the cinema to enjoy Captain America: Winter Soldier and marvel anew that people leave before the end of the credits. Are they new?
Then home again.
Where Rosie was determined to stick closely to me in case she had to go back to gran’s again. Even the best Basset-sitters in the world aren’t as good as being at home.
And a final cup of tea before bedtime.
So that was yesterday.
Why not join in next month, or even a different day this month. If you feel 12 shots might be too much for you, and I admit it’s easier to get them earlier in the day, as it gets later momentum can flag, what about 3 on the Third, 4 on the Fourth, 6 on the Sixth, 8 on the 8th. Or the same number of shots as the number of the month? So for May how about 5 shots on the Fifth, in June aim for 6 on the Sixth. That could be fun to see how the group grows as the year progresses.
Whatever you decide, capturing some everyday shots through the course of a day creates a wonderful image and memory of how you live, the similarities and changes from month to month or season to season.
Enjoy your Sunday.
