Sponsor Giveaways : Tracey Clark for Big Picture Scrapbooking, Emera Bags, Shimelle.com
Three people will win a spot in Tracey Clark's upcoming class at Big Picture Scrapbooking called Picture Spring.
From Tracey: If someone would have told me what I know today, I’m not sure I would have believed them. That the dew of morning could be magic. That a brand new bud, longing to bloom could cause for celebration. That a cup of tea could whisper an enchanting tale. That what was on my cutting board could bring me back to center. That a dandelion could restore my hope. It’s as though the entire world around me has woken up as have I, as I look both inside myself and out and feel as if every blade of grass, every shard of light is a brand new muse.
It is all of these things that prompted me to create Picture Spring; my new online at Big Picture Scrapbooking. A 30 day soulful seasonal celebration of these muses and using our cameras to seek them out. For all the details on registration on how you can awaken your senses and your lens this spring, visit me over there. I’m giddy with what we’ll discover together.
Picture Spring is a 30-day guided e-class at Big Picture Scrapbooking that will encourage and inspire you to use photography to celebrate the season of new beginnings while honoring and nourishing your creative spirit. With a new email and fresh perspective in your inbox each morning, you'll use the daily photo prompt to help open your mind and guide your lens to see and capture your life and the world around you. Whether you are an expert photographer, or just starting out, this project will help you see things in a completely new light. Taught by Shutter Sisters founder Tracey Clark, Picture Spring will offer a warm, welcoming Shutter Sisteresque invitation to discover the season; camera in hand.

My current favorite photo is the one I am taking "right now." I spent the weekend with my family at the coast--a short trip, not quite long enough, but yet enough to enjoy the company. I took a picture of my parents and their three grandchildren, sitting in the back of the pickup, waiting for the St. Patrick's Parade to begin. My father is 83; my mother, 75. The grandchildren range in age from 9 to 20--two boys, one girl. We are blessed to have the grandparents still with us. (And I am already registered for Tracy Clark's class, but I would sure love the camera bag!)

I wore the dress when I was two in a very posed studio photo. My mom just brought it to a happy little girl in my house. The photo is that favorite smocked dress, a happy little girl, barfoot in the driveway, and a red tricycle. Thanks Mom for letting me see it all over again.

My favorite photo is of my 4 1/2 as a 3 month old sleeping in a antique baby stroller, that had been my mothers (she has been deceased for 7 years). She is wearing my baptisim dress, that my mom wore as well. My mom would be so proud!!

My current favorite photo is a photo I took for my Project 365 that is of my two daughters making silly faces. They were holding our puppy dog, and she happened to yawn at the same time that I took the photo, so it looks like all three were making funny faces for the camera! LOL!

My favorite photo was taken this weekend at my son's hockey tournament. It. Was taken immediately after a whistle wad blown, and it shows my son smiling while he is on the ice getting ready for a face off. It is a perfect image that truly captures how much he loves hockey.

My favorite photo is of my two boys, playing in the mud at their grandmother's on Palm Sunday a couple of years ago. They have confetti from the cascarones stuck all over them, and both are cracking up with faces of joy.

Ali - I have to pick "one" fav. Oh my gosh....
Hmmm?? I think it would have to be the one on my bedside stand of my husband Jack. We are at the dock of what I call the farm. It is where my Mom grew up. I will not say what he is doing, but his smile is priceless. :)

My current favorite photo is one I took during the summer of a heron in a pond. I posted it the other day on my blog 'cause I like it so much. I love photographing birds. I hope to save up for a telephoto lens so I can get detailed photos. It's hard to capture the details when your subject is a 100 ft. up in the air. :)
