Mode Of Transportation
Mode of transportation was yesterday's photo challenge theme. I did take the picture yesterday; I just didn't get it posted until today. I decided to go with the original mode of transportation:

Repose
Today on my inspiration tap? Repose. Many ideas flitted through my mind for a photo for this. I hadn't decided which way I wanted to go. Sleeping children are always so sweet, but I don't want this to turn into simply a family photo album.
It was time to sit down to work on my homework for my Survey of Anthropology class. I set up a comfy place on the couch, grabbed my book, and was about to get into it. Then Mia, our cuddly at always the wrong times cat, decided now would be a good time to curl up on my lap. Trying to work around her became tedious so off to the internet I went. After wasting some time, I looked down at my lap, and there it was, repose. And if I'm not going to do cute and cuddly children, there might as well be another cat picture on the internet!

Stacked Books and Undergarments
I had to do days two and three today, instead of yesterday and today, because we had a wind storm yesterday that knocked out our power all day long. We lost our power at 9:00 A.M. and it didn't come back on until 11:45 P.M.!
Day two's theme or inspiration was "stacked books." I thought back to an idea I saw a long time ago (I would link to it here, but this was about three years ago and I honestly don't remember where I saw it) about stacking books and taking a picture of your child reading. I did this with A when she was about a year to a year and half old. I loved the way the pictures turned out, so I tried to do it again, this time with S included. Here are some of the results (I included an #AutoAwesome motion one for fun, too):
Day three's inspiration was "undergarment."At first when I saw this one I was a bit apprehensive. I couldn't think of something outside the box, and well, couldn't think of a tasteful way to share one's undergarments. Then, while shopping at Target, I decided to buy S some new underwear. We are going to start potty training as she has shown a real interest lately. One concern we had is that she adores Elmo on her diapers (to the point that we have to convince her to wear the other diapers in the package that don't have Elmo on them). We were so happy when we found these underwear at Target for her to begin her training!

Reflection
I have decided to do a photo challenge for the month of November. I decided to do this one. The first inspiration idea is "reflection." I love reflection photos of all sorts; I have many favorites that I have taken of my own. However, the idea is for me to take a new photo each day. As stated in my previous post, I am going to be using my cell phone camera. As of now, I plan on just using the built-in camera on my phone with little to no editing. It will probably be more of a month of snapshots because of this.
The above picture is of the nearby lake in our community. This is the halfway point across from our house to the gate leaving the community.
This was also taken at the bridge at the lake.
As I was driving to dinner tonight, I noticed the trees in my rearview mirror. While at a red light, I snapped a quick reflection picture of the trees.

Well, that was another nice break of no posts. I was busy. Not trying to make excuses, but it is what it is. I am going to try and be better (again) at posting things. I make no promises, and with school and life and everything else, I fully expect to have another big lull. I will *try* and post things on a semi-regular basis, at least for the month of November. I would like to post a new picture a day. What I am planning as of now is doing a "mobile theme." I will post pictures taken with my phone. No, this is not an original idea - BUT I think it is one I can handle! What I REALLY would like to do is play around with my SLR, get back out of auto-mode (how easily one slips back into that without regular practice), and start getting truly creative. However, I know that I just don't have the time right now to do that. So - in the meantime, here is my post saying I will post something later. :) Enjoy!
