When I travel, I carry my camera in my lap or in the seat next to me. It seems there are always amazing things waiting to be captured.
The youngest one usually laughs at me and says, "Grandma, you forgot to take the lens thingy off again." Ahh, wisdom of children.

Theme: Sleep - Week of Jan 31st

This SLEEP theme assignment seemed impossible at first.There are a limit to subjects around this household.

I am not into self portraits, especially while I sleep. Obviously hubby really did not want me to bother him while he slept.  He does totally support my photography habit (in more ways than one) but everyone does have their limits. My little dog (Bichon Frise)  is 1 1/2 years old and she moves all the time... well most of the time.  As for my grandson, he is only here part of the time.

All three are here today, another 'snow day.' Although I probably won't be going out any time soon for any picture taking. Chill factor is  -24* and the snow is moving horizontal across the sky.

Even for this photo addict, conditions seem to say 'Stay in, bake cookies.'

Decided to be smart and  keep the camera equipment warm,  as I take a break from cutting veggies for the home made soup for lunch, it's time to post the assignment for the week.

The pup finally gave it up for a little bit. She almost blends right in with the carpet.
No - this pic was taken a week ago with this assignment in mind.
It's a Magnolia Bud waiting for spring.
I know this is not from today, as I said it is -23* out. But, the theme is sleep and he is sleeping.

Strange as it may see, I do think of inanimate objects sometimes as almost life like. I am sure this bench has seen and heard a lot of interesting stories. With early morning and snow covered... it must be asleep.
I hope some interest has been sparked and maybe others are deciding to start shooting the themes' photo assignments. It's not too late to start.
