Well, not quite! It's day 182 and day 188 will be the official halfway point. So far I've managed to shoot a picture very single day - not missed one (!), but during June ended up posting some the next day. Some days I've just been shattered after a full day in a Disney park and occasionally I just had lost my mojo. But I think I've got it back again as we head into the second half of the calendar year.
June was an amazing month - lots going on in the garden and endless photo opportunities on our holidays in Florida. I've lost a beautiful photographic subject in Daisy, our boxer dog, who sadly lost her battle with canine lymphoma (partly why I lost my mojo I think!).
Until recently I was posting on this blog daily but got quite behind and
have decided to just do a monthly collage here from now on. I post
daily on a forum called The 365 project as well as on Facebook, so you can see the daily photos at either place.

The Olympic Torch
152 / 365 31/5/12
We got up early to beat the traffic & watch the torch relay
through our local town of Knutsford. There was a great atmosphere
despite the rain and the kids loved being part of such a historical
moment!
Not sure why the woman on the right was so determined to block the road - she got a right telling off from the officials.

Bubbling away

151 / 365 30/5/12
I truly couldn't decide which shot to post tonight and both kids
were demanding that I use their picture. Even Daisy got a look in. She's
quite shaky still but a little better each day.
Pompoms

Yes I'm afraid it's alium again! I just adore them.
Sorry for the lack of responses and comments on pics at the moment - school holidays, massive work overload, Florida holiday approaching, dog at vets regularly... but I'm not moaning! Still managing to shoot and post a shot daily. :-)

Timeless fun
The lake where we walk Daisy (just 5 minutes from home) used to be a
tourist destination, from the early 1900's thru' to the 1980's. There
were fairground rides, watersports, a tea room and a restaurant and it
attracted people from far and wide. Nowadays it's unspoilt with only a
small community building and a few picnic benches. On hot days it
attracts smaller numbers of people who come just to paddle, sunbathe and
enjoy the view. Today it felt quite timeless with such simple
activities making for a very pleasant Sunday afternoon.
Pant...pant...pant
Not sure about this weather, it's a bit warm for a fur coat and this bandana isn't doing anything for me!
