5157 - Creative Sprint Day 24.


I didn't have time to make a frame today, so I just took pictures of beautiful things. First I made a carrot cake that I made for my dad's birthday. I decided to photograph both the whole cake and an individual slice. Then Margo made cookies to bring for the cast and crew at the theater tonight. I made the sign so that the kids would know what the cookies were for. Finally, I took pictures during the show tonight. This was one of my favorite shots; with over 2500 pictures on the camera (only 2 shows worth of pictures) it took me a bit to find my way back to this one to snap the picture for my collage.

5124 - Independence.

It was a perfect day for a lake day. It was hot all week, making the lake nice and warm for swimming. After that excitement, I was able to enjoy a pontoon ride to view the various firework displays around our lake and the surrounding lakes. This is a photocollage showing five of the best shots I got.

5119 - Waterfalls.

Today is National Camera Day, so I decided to share a picture that I took last week while on vacation with the Millers. Our hotel had an outdoor pool with a waterfall. I snapped some pics of the Miller Littles sitting behind the waterfall. It took me multiple shots, but I managed to get three pictures that showed one of their cute faces. I put the three pictures together to greate this composite showing them all together.

5015 - Nature Walk.

Nature is one of my favorite photographic subjects. So to celebrate Nature Photography Day, I used my phone to take pictures of flowers, bugs, and a snakeskin while on a walk with Littlest Miller this morning.. I would have taken more,, but she was antsy to keep moving.

5084 - All Grown Up.

It's hard to believe that Lil' E is no longer a baby; today she officially turns one! While I didn't get to be with her today, we did celebrate over the weekend. On Saturday, we met up for cake decorating and a One Year photo shoot. The smiles were hard to find, but it was a beautiful day, which made for some beautiful pictures. Then on Sunday, we celebrated with a Birthday Zoom call.

Today, I got to celebrate with Shawn and Ziva as they celebrate their birthday as well, turning 33 and 3. Normally I would have made them cakes, but Margo has taken over the baking at our house lately.

5040 - Heart Hands.

Yesterday when I was collecting hearts, Becca sent a heart made from hers and Nates hands. When I saw today's prompt I decided to collect hand hearts. This collection didn't go as well. Contributors included Becca and Nate, CC and CAT and Margo and Myself.

5039 - Helping Hearts.

With Margo's help, I would bring back hearts as my souvenir. As she was making Valentine's Truffles, she suggested that I collect hearts from people so I reached out. Thanks to Becca, Nate, Eleanor, Mom, Aiden, Oldest Miller, Margo for your help.

5022 - Shaded Path.

I asked for a color suggestion and was told maroon. What do I do with that? Well I searched my environment and decided I would focus on maroon adjacent. Some pictures were supplied by friends including Littlest Miller. Others I found on my own. The flower I made using maroon adjacent paper on a maroon adjacent rug in my office.

5020 - Ta-Da List.

I started my rear completing projects that I started last year. With the Miller Littles I used cookie cutters to make the set of three ornaments. I used Eleanor's handprints to make the snowman and green ornaments and Ziva's pawprint to make the wreath amd red ornaments. Tonight my dad and I whipped together this delicious dinner of chickpea pasta and a homemade alfredo style chicken. I've done lots of other things this year, but I don't have any pictures to show.

4301 - Gift of Gratitude.

This thank you goes out to anyone who has ever taken time to enjoy a sunset with me. I love sunsets, especially when the skies are partly cloudy, as that is when sunsets are the most beautiful. Sunsets are even more special when you have someone to share it with, so whether we were inside or outside, together or apart, know that any sunset we’ve shared is held close to my heart.

This photo collage was made using a picture I snapped of the sunset on my way home from work tonight.

4299 - Looks Yellow To Me.

Today I collaborated with friends and family on a yellow scavenger hunt. One friend chose the color, everyone else sent me pictures of things around them that were yellow. There was a large range in yellow hues, everywhere from green to orange. I recieved about 40 pictures, 36 made it into the photo collage that I created from the images.

4291 - Mind Map.

My brain was in a state of relaxation today. I was very much enjoying my vacation. We began with a short hike to a the Pine River Dam. It was beautiful weather to be outside. At the dam park, there was a playground and a small sculpture garden. The Miller Littles enjoyed both. To unwind, I also spent lots of time in the hot tub.

4276 - Mascot Mania.
DAY #3

Mascots help motivate teams and their fans — create a mascot for yourself or your team! Bonus: Bring it with you during the day and take pictures of it in different locations.
The first thing I thought of was a kangaroo. I decided to use Sticky Tack from my desk drawer to build my mascot. I did it without looking at a picture and therefore it doesn't look like quite like a kangaroo and maybe more like a red panda. Either way, it went with me all day. Teaching 6th graders how to make Northern Light pictures by blending chalk; grading middle school art; teaching 1st graders about lines using finger paint; watching warm-ups for the LHS swim meet; and attending LHS Drama Rehearsal.

4273 - Lying Low.

Tomorrow begins my next Creative Sprint, so I decided to take a small break today and do a photo collage. Over the weekend, I spent some time outside with my puppy niece, Ziva. She loves playing catch with her orange frisbee. I snapped these fun action shots while we played.

4233 - And So Much More.

My adventures through South Dakota with the Miller Family continued, as did my photo collages.

4230 - This morning my day began with blowing bubbles with Oldest Miller on the front porch of the cabin. The colors in the bubbles were fun to watch. Next we took off towards Custer, SD and traveled on the Wildlife Loop. We saw many animals, but the most exciting part was the donkey parade walking right next to the car. The highlight of the day and maybe the whole trip was the Blue Bell Chuckwagon Hayride and Cookout. The ride took us through Custer State Park where we saw more animals including lots of buffalo. As we rode, our guide, Bullhead, sang songs and told some stories about the park. When we reached the secluded canyon, we enjoyed a delicious steak dinner followed by music and dancing.

4230 - Our last full day in South Dakota involved a lot less travel. We ventured to Deadwood, SD where we walked the Historic Main Street, stopping at Saloon No. 10 to take in a Wild Bill Hickok re-enactment. Afterwards, we went to Broken Boot Mine where after touring the mine, we panned for gold. The Miller Littles were excited about all of the gold that they found. The evening was spent back at the cabin, watching the sunset, enjoying the hot tub, and playing cards.

4232 - Food, Friends, Fun.

I spent the last six days traveling through South Dakota with the Miller Family. I took pictures each day and created close-up collages. Here are the answers to what each picture is.

4328 -After a half day of travel, we stopped in Mitchell, SD for the night. The next morning we stopped at the Corn Palace, so the first picture is one of the murals decorating the outside of the Corn Palace. Next as we entered the Badlands we stopped to feed prairie dogs. This was lots of fun until it started to rain. We continued our drive through the Badlands. Fortunately the rain eventually stopped and I was able to get some pictures that almost capture the beauty of the rock formations.

4329 - Day 2 in South Dakota brought us to Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse. While at Crazy Horse, we got to see a presentation of traditional Native American dance and storytelling. In the gift shop there was a large selection of pottery. The pot shown here is Painted Desert Hors Hair Pottery by Navajo Artists. Finally, we ended the day by relaxing in the hot tub at our cabin near Lead, SD.

Check in tomorrow to see the remaining two days of my vacation.
