Almost Made It Photos #3

This is likely my last batch of "almost made it" photos - though I may post one or two that I uncover in the coming months.

I've started thinking about a new photo project, but haven't made any decisions.  I think it is going to take a while to find the "right" thing.  It definitely won't be a "picture a day for a year" project, though!

Here's the latest (and last) batch:

A Day At The Beach

Delicate

Solo Flower

Boston Reflections

"I'm King of the World!"

Karen

Yellow Cap

Almost Made It Photos #1

Through the course of my 366 days project often I had a tough time choosing between several photos for a single "photo of the day" slot.  It helped me "edit", certainly, and when I made my choice, I didn't second guess.  What I did do, though, was save off my tough choices for the future.  Well, now that the project is over I went through my 2nd place photos - about 40 of them in total.

Here's 7 of them.  I may post more periodically.  

Fishing Plug Bokeh

John Belushi Gravestone

Mad Martha's Ice Cream Cones

Floating Flower

John Copley Statue

Orange and Black

Purple Haze

Week 51 - Water

5 of the 7 photos this week had water, either ocean or pond.  I'm frequently drawn to these areas and these types of photos.  I may count them up and see how many over the past year I took.  Over 100?  We'll see in just over a week when this project is over.  Yup, 9 days remaining, can you believe it?

Day 354 is my favorite photo this week.

Here's the 7 photos for this week, the 2nd to last week of this project:

Day 357/April 7 -  Early Spring

Day 356/April 6 -  Morning Reflections

Day 355/April 5 -  Mason Pearson Brush

Day 354/April 4 -  Calm Pond Dawn

Day 353/April 3 -  Toothpick Reflections

Day 352/April 2 -  The Sun

Day 351/April 1 -  Turn to Clear Vision #4

Week 49 - Spring 2012

I resisted taking a week of "Spring flowers" photos.  Only 1 this week. Flowers are popping up everywhere it seems, and Spring has arrived in full force, except I haven't heard of Striped Bass being caught on the Vineyard yet!

Two favorite photos this week for me.  The money shot, and the train.  If you haven't listened to Bruce Springsteen's "Land of Hopes and Dreams" song yet, you should.  A beautiful song, and I tried to capture the mood with this photo.

Here's this week's 7.  3 weeks remaining!

Day 343/March 24 -  Land of Hope and Dreams

Day 342/March 23 -  Spring Flowers

Day 341/March 22 -  Willowy Reflections

Week 48 - Early Birthday Present

Another eclectic set of photos this week, 4 of which were taken in the light box.  I couldn't resist taking a picture of my early birthday present for today's photo!

Here's this week's lucky 7:

Week 46 - Bird Feeder Bookends

Bird photos bookend this week's lot, with 2012's first snow storm hitting us over a two day period.  This week also included Leap Day, an extra day in this project making it a 366 vs. a 365 project!

Eclectic set of photos this week, I had fun making them.    Here they are:

Week 44 - Post-vacation Inspiration

Boy, it was tough finding inspiration this week after a week in St. John, where inspiration was all around me.  Thankfully we have 50 degree days - Spring-like, without the flowers.

Here's this week's lineup, where, yes, a flower still-life photo once again entered the lineup...
