All photos taken with a Canon 70D DSLR with a Tamron18-400 mm telephoto lens.
It was incredibly cold in January, so being outside was just not fun. Both January photos show something warm.
My Guy likes to bake when it's too cold to be out and about outside. These were a new recipe, brown butter cookies. They were very yummy and didn't last very long as they were wonderful with coffee or hot tea. I thought this photo would look just right in a cookbook.
I was reading a photography book in January, "Extraordinary Everyday Photography" by Jed Manwaring. The book is about capturing the details of everyday life, the stuff you see all the time. I snapped this shot at lunch one day.
My Guy spends most of the winter in very lived in flannel shirts. You can just barely see his glasses peaking out of the top of that pocket. I'm not sure it's a great shot technically, but it makes me smile. It's so easy to take those weekend lunch times, with him in his slightly frayed flannel shirts sitting across from me for granted. So maybe there something to capturing those every day details we just don't consciously think of?
February was more cold, cloudy days. Everything was still mostly brown. I did brave a walk one day early in the month and took some interesting shots.
Any guesses? Both photos are of a frozen lake. The first one reminds me of sand, rather than ice.
That's it for the first two months of the year. With spring making an appearance about mid March, I did get out with the camera a bit more that month. We were on vacation in April and the camera was out when we were hiking. I've not taken much since. I haven't finished reading the photography book either. I'm going to need to change my game a bit if I want to do more on the photography front.

I agree with you on taking photos of everyday occurrences- they are special all on their own! Hope your guy is doing well job-wise and all that. His cookies look yummy!
Wonderful photos, Kate. I like the idea of taking photos of everyday life things; those photos bring back memories. I look forward to seeing your photos in the near future. Hugs.
Mmmmm…those cookies look delicious. I like your every day shot too. It’s one of the things I like about macro photography…even everyday objects can look interesting if you look close enough.
Maybe your guy could get a job as a baker! Those cookies look delish. The browned butter - yum. I enjoyed your thoughts on photography as well as your photos. The flannel shirt - sweet.
Wow Kate, I love those frozen lake photos - very cool (pun wasn't intended but not bad lol) I think that it's great to take those photos of everyday things. Good luck with your photography :-)
No way, Kate. I totally though the photo was grain in a painted piece of wood, one painted white covering the wood grains, and the other not covering the wood grains. A lake? I can see it now.
