June 22, 2013: Cooper's Hawk

365 Project, Day 4

Here is my day 4 submission to my 365Project:

After spotting a Cooper's hawk near it's nest yesterday I decided to go back early this morning to see if I could find it again. I did and was able to grab some photos...although I also got another good crow shot but I decided I'd use this shot since I posted a crow yesterday.

June 21, 2013: Young Crow Strolling

365 Project, Day 3

Here is my day 3 submission to my 365Project:

I had a great time watching this young crow interacting with its mother (I presumed) and sibling. It was a toss up whether to use this photo because I also got a shot of a Cooper's Hawk but this guy had so much personality I had to post him :)

June 20, 2013: Bottle Droplets

365 Project, Day 2

Here is my day 2 submission to my 365Project:

Already, on day two, I was struggling a bit with what to photograph. Then I noticed these empty wine bottles sitting by the window at my boyfriend's house and thought they looked neat with the sun shining through them. They had labels on them so I soaked them for a while and then when I put them back in the window I thought the look of the droplets in with the light shining through them and the bottle made it look even more interesting. 

Exploring my photography over 365 days! Day ONE :)

June 19, 2013: Bearded Killer Whales

Recently, I have been more passionate about photography and have been working on my photography skills. I learned about the 365Project and decided to do it. So, I will now concurrently begin posting my photos on my blog since I've been too busy to do any other blogs and I figure since these posts will be brief and simple I'll at least be able to keep my blog alive with my daily images :) 

So here's day one: 

Just down the road from my home is the beautiful Victoria Harbour and the Empress Hotel which sits right in the harbour. I was walking around an thought it would be fun to photograph these killer whale shaped shrubs in front of the Empress. I was pretty happy with the results :)
