[118/365] – Bleeding Hearts

by on 22. May, 2010 in Project365

Bleeding Hearts

I’ve been trying to get a shot like this for the last couple of days. I managed to get home RIIIIGHT at the right time today. The sun was out and shining and backlit these beautiful bleeding heart flowers just right.

Glad I got this shot today, as it’s going to get worse and worse the rest of the week. Fun times.

I keep waiting for the cherry trees down the street to fully bloom. They are just buds still, and just hanging there are the bud stage. I hope they don’t bloom when it’s all rainy and I don’t get to get a good picture! Every day I take a couple of shots on the way, and think “nope, not yet” and just keep going. *crosses fingers*

[117/365] – Backlit Leaves

Backlit Leaves

Ran a few errands after work today and I saw these leaves, nicely backlit by the setting sun, on my walk home from the store. I really love the purple in the background, it helps brighten things up as well!

Busy busy busy at work today. Straight out all day long, but one bonus: My boss bought an espresso maker. Solid, good, tasty coffee at work! Man I like that. I had a couple of shots halfway through the day and they kicked my butt into gear. I love that!

I had good cappuccino yesterday, and good espresso today. What a world! Did I mention we found an italian speaking cafe near my house? Caffe Toscana, just a few minutes from my house by public transport. The owner is from Lucca, and lives here now. I was able to order in italian, maybe not perfectly, but good enough!

[115/365] – Handmade Quilt

Handmade Quilt

I’ve been hanging the quilt my aunt made for Gianna on the edge of the crib to block the setting sun from blinding her while she naps. Yesterday I saw the sun shining through the first layer and I meant to take a picture, but I didn’t have time. So today I made a point to do it.

I had to do it while in the middle of a 2 hour marathon feeding session for Gianna, but I got a few good shots. I liked this one the best. I like the contrast between the lights and darks, as well as the sharp focus on the left and the blurriness of the rest.

[112/365] – Purple Sunrise

Purple Sunrise

Today was SO much nicer than yesterday. Sunshine, really really warm, like 80 degrees!

It was 45 when I left the house this morning however so by the time I left work I was way overdressed. Busy day at work today, started before 6am with an upgrade to our wiki server, so by the time I got on the road the sun was already up.

I took this on the way down the hill near my house, I love the backlighting of this flower, and the suns rays shining in from above the leaf.

[107/365] – Single Drop

Single Drop

I shot this on my way down the stairs this morning.

It’s the very last trace of the massive amount of rain we have gotten here in Boston. I love how the drop is just perched there on the leaf, just hanging out and reflecting the sun and all the things around it.

It’s so nice and green and sunny out today as well, I just love it. It’s so nice to have some sun again. The whole weekend is supposed to be like this, 60′s and 70′s. I can’t wait! YAY!
