Day 53. Topic = The One of Many Piles On My Desk.

My desk looks like someone took all of a office supply store and threw it on my desk. Between photos, the computer, papers from many different events, books, notebooks, pens, drawing supplies, random sticky notes, and all of the etc., my desk is covered. The photo above is a small portion of the mess. The top book is "The Hunger Games", which was in fact finished! The Second book is "The Diary of Anne Frank". That book has taken me FOREVER to read but I only have about 40 pages left. The next two books are "The Iliad of Homer" and "The Odyssey of Homer". I never read either one, but I do know about them. They were loaned to me and I have been meaning to give them back but, as you can see, I have not yet. The last book is actually not a book. It is my, what I guess you would call a "Fashion Journal". The journal is filled with things that I have torn out of magazines, anything I wanted to buy, an idea of something I could make, or an outfit I liked a lot. All of these have thier own little spot in the chaos of my desk, but I thought it made a good picture.

Photo 52. Topic = More Flowers.

I know yesterday I posted a picture of a pink flower but when you see something that needs to have its picture taken, you work with what you have. I went to Greensboro today for a class at Weatherspoon Art Museum. This was my second time going there and it is amazing. They always have something different, due to traveling exibits. Unforunately I could not take pictures inside the musuem, so I took a picture outside the museum. They had this nice little tree with beautiful blossoms. If you are in the Piedmont area, you should go check out Weatherspoon Art Musuem, And it is free!

Day 51. Topic = When You Accidently Leave The Flash On Your Camera.

I like to mess with the settings on my camera fequently but most of the time I forget to set the settings back to how I need them. The main problem with this is that I do not like to use the flash on the camera a lot but sometimes it goes in my favor. For example, when I took this photo of this flower I did not plan to have the flash on but it worked. Because of the flash being on I got this wonderful picture that shows just how vibrant the colors are.

Day 50. Topic = Finally! Snow!

This winter weather has been crazy. I walked outside last week without a jacket and was perfectly fine! And tonight it snowed! CRAZY weather here in North Carolina. Because of this rare event of snow, I took a couple of pictures. The first one is of the mailbox covered with snow. It did not start snowing well till it was dark outside so I had to use the flash on my camera.

These snowflakes were insanely big! Best part about it was trying to catch them with your tongue.

I just had to draw on the cars. I really wanted to make something super pretty but the snow would not stick well enough for me to make the drawing elaborate. I settled for drawing a simple heart.

This is the one of the few times when it is good to have a street light stuck in your yard.

Thanks to my step-brother, Seth, for being my model in the snow. I think this picture is almost a little creepy but cool at the same time.

This photo is just awesome. It is of a lampost looking upward with the snow falling all around it. I love this photo so much!

I really wanted to take the classic footprints in the snow picture so here it is!

After a little while outside I came inside and curled up in front of the fireplace with "The Hunger Games". This has been a very good night.

# 49. Topic = The Hunger Games.

All of my friends have been talking about how I need to read "The Hunger Games". The funny thing about this is that I have owned the book for about two years and have yet to read it. I decided to read all of the book this weekend. So far, I have read a good amount and I technically have till Monday because of President's day. I flipped to the last page of the book to see how many pages I have to conquer and my eyes were automatically drawn to the word "cameras". I am loving the book so far so lets see if I will finish it all this weekend!

Photo Number 48. Topic = Nature Around Us.

I went on a quick hike this afternoon in need of a good  photo. Instead of just one, I got three. I got a lot of positive feedback about this post because of all the different pictures. I am planning on posting all the good photos I take on that day instead of just the one photo. I really like this photo above because it shows the real texture of the wood.

For this photo, I thought the way the sun reflected in the water. Besides, who doesn't love a good sunset picture?

This photo is a little mind-warping. The trees are actually going up on a hill and then they are reflecting in the water. Everything looked so peaceful.

Day 47. Topic = <3.

I did about nothing today. My mom had gotten a magazine today and I remembered an idea I saw a while back on Pinterest. I had some fun taking this and that is about all I have to say!
