Rainy days and Mondays. Yes, I know it’s Tuesday but that just doesn’t sound as good. The photography challenge is coming along nicely. Rainy day was the challenge.

Since we’ve had plenty of rain around this was an easy challenge to do at least on the rainy day part. I tried to take some landscapes because that was my immediate thought of how to capture a rainy day. They were not very good. I needed to think out of the box.

I don’t know about you but I don’t like cookie cutter photos. I like to have a unique perspective. So, I took the photo above. It wasn’t planned, it wasn’t laid out, it just happened and I had my camera with me so I was able to get it.

What do I love about it? I like the bokeh, the soft almost fog like blur on the window and I like the crispness of the rain as it slowly drips down the window.

I’m actually pretty happy with this photography challenge. I’d call this one a success. I need to remember though to think out of the box and not go for the traditional photo.

If you’d like to follow along with my photography challenge sure you can do that here by signing up on the newsletter sign up box on the right or you can follow me over on Instagram where I share even more photos.

A cat or kitten was the next photography challenge. This challenge was pretty easy for me. Though we have two cats only one will actually sit still long enough for me to take her picture most of the time. Better than my kids, she doesn’t fuss as much at me.

Know what I love about this photograph? Look at the pupil of her eye. Not only does she have beautiful blue eyes but in this photo, her pupil looks like a heart doesn’t it? Sometimes it’s the little details that really make a photo.

There is nothing more beautiful than a baby. So when this photography challenge came up I was really looking forward to it.

I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and cooperative baby. While I like both the black and white version and the color version, I opted for the black and white over color. I’m just partial to black and white photography.

And oh my goodness, just look at those little lips! Ok sorry, can’t help it. The mommy in me just wants to snuggle him.
