Once again I’m digging a photo out of my archives. Hopefully Nikon will have returned my camera by next week. This photo was take on July 4, 2009 in Rockport, MA. We spent the weekend at my sister-in-law’s place, which has a beautiful view of the beach. I took this photo standing across the street from her driveway. It was my first attempt at photographing fireworks. I still have a lot to learn, but I love the contrast of the bright lights against the dark sky and the reflection of all the colors in the water.

This photo is one “from the archives”. I sent my camera out for a good cleaning because there’s dust on the low-pass filter. It leaves unsightly spots on my photos, and I wanted to have it taken care of before Angelina arrives. So this week, and possibly for the next week or two, I’m using recycled photos.
I took this photo at the Groton Farmers Market at Williams Barn last summer. I look forward to the start of the season every year. In addition to all the local produce, there are a variety of baked goods, flowers, and even handmade soaps and the like. I loved the way this one vendor had arranged her sunflowers, so I just had to snap a picture.

I think I’ve entered the “nesting” phase of pregnancy. I’ve spent much of the last few days working on the nursery (and nagging my husband to do the things I can’t) and sorting and washing baby clothes, diapers, etc. So you’ll forgive me if my obsession spills over into my Project 52.
I squealed with delight when I realized just how tiny our daughter’s socks are. I don’t think my feet were every tiny enough to fit in these things. (Seriously, even at birth I was a sasquatch.) Now I know why so many baby books and web sites recommend putting them in a mesh laundry bag before washing. These little treats are just too tempting, and the washer or dryer is bound to gobble them up otherwise.
