Seeing Spots

I had a great day today. I finally decided on Lucas' birthday party. We are going to do a pool party at our gym. A pool party in the winter...how cool is that?! When I called in to the gym for details, who should I speak to, but my potential boss if I get hired. I wasn't planning to call yet to check in, but since I had her on the phone, I asked if she had made her decision yet. Luckily, she hadn't (I was expecting the call yesterday and hadn't heard). She got my availability again. We shall see...

We went to hot yoga in the morning where I danced while doing downward dog, plank and low plank (the music is really fun and kickin'). After that, we attended an extravaganza at the kids school...aka we ate lots of junk to undo the hot yoga. After that, I got ready and went to a photo exhibit for the photo club that I am joining at a local library. It was nice to get out with my mom and look at some amazing photos and talk to some really neat and nice seeming photographers. Looking foward to being a part of the group:).

Here is another paper shot for my get pushed paper challenge. My mom makes cards and has tons of fun paper. I asked her to use some and coerced her into holding it for me as I snapped some shots. My arm isn't long enough for my freakin' zoom lens. Sheesh...hope that I either win some contest money or get a job so that I can afford another lens soon. I need a sign like Caryn held up this week: Will work for camera gear... @cmc1200 http://365project.org/cmc1200/extras/2013-02-23

Cool shot and a fun day!!

Haha! I didn't get anything out of holding that sign. I *did* happen to see someone locally selling an 18-55mm for $50! I wonder if there was something wrong with it?! Great price!

@cmc1200 I want it!!!!
February 24th, 2013  
Neat spot shot :)
February 24th, 2013  
fun shot!! Love the idea of the pool party in the winter too. Sounds like a blast! I have a friend that teaches hot yoga...it's her favorite! She doesn't live here though!! I wish we had it in town, but I don't know of anywhere that does it. I'll have to stick to my pilates at home. :)

sweet

How can you dance while doing the Downward Dog? Sounds intriguing this hot yoga! Whirligig colours here!
February 24th, 2013  
Great perspective. What's wrong with winter pool parties. It's winter here in Bangkok and we have pool parties (winter is 30° to 35°C!!!)
February 24th, 2013  
I love this!! Great paper choice!
February 24th, 2013  
Very nice! Good luck on the job! How could she not hire you?
February 24th, 2013  
Such a fun, creative shot. Great colors and focus. Crossing my fingers for you! Hey, I have a Lukas, too. :)
February 24th, 2013  
Awesomeness :)cool colors too :)
February 24th, 2013  
This is so creative fabulous image
February 24th, 2013  
Very clever...sounds like you all live at the gym! Hope the job thing works out.
February 24th, 2013  
very cool shot - and psychedelic!
February 24th, 2013  
What a creative image, you rock :)
February 24th, 2013  
I am loving your paper shots Amanda. Such a wonderful pov and fabulous dots.
February 24th, 2013  
Like the way the dots seem to spin at the front of the image and then get bigger as you go down the tunnel. Great pov
February 24th, 2013  
Oh...... Very cool, sucks you right in :-)
February 24th, 2013  
Great perspective and I too like the spinning spots
February 24th, 2013  
This is quite trippy...but I like it xx
February 24th, 2013  
Cool shot,nice perspective!!
February 24th, 2013  
Great shot. As I was reading I thought you were wanting to win some money to get your arms extended but yeah a new lens would be a less painful solution :)
February 24th, 2013  
fun swirly camera shot!
February 24th, 2013  
Fun, creative shot!

@leananiemand Thank you, Leana:). It really was!

@cmc1200 And so sorry to hear that the sign didn't work...it was genius!:)

@bristolrose Thanks so much, Kathryn!

@tryeveryday Pilates is great, too. I take a yoga pilates fusion class every once in awhile, too. Thanks, lady!

@squamloon Thank you.

@maggiemae Just mostly shaking my booty to the tunes. It was really fun. Thanks, Maggiemae.:)

@johnfalconer Not a thing wrong, but they will come outside to freezing temps from the indoor pool. It will be fun. Thanks, John.

@kwind Thanks, lady! I like polka dots!

@nana2r Well she didn't. There must be something better for me (or maybe I am not supposed to work now?). Perhaps I will look at camera shops next:). Thanks, Carren! You are sweet.

@pflaume Lucas's are great! One of the best names ever. Thanks, lady. I didn't get the job, but know that it is for the best. On to the next thing!:)

@jodimuli Thank you, Joey!

@paul2782 Thanks, Paul. You like it cause it's paper, right;-).

@bpaquette It didn't and probably for the best. I was worried that working there would cause me not to want to work out anymore. We aren't there like crazy people...2-3 times per week or so. My hubby is doing his own thing at his work gym now 4 morning per week.

@soboy5 I like that about it. Thanks, Danny!

@siwainastromoy You are very sweet. Thank you, Siw!

@masosy Thanks, Kate. Really appreciate that!

@happysnap I liked that, too. Thanks, lady. When is the deadline for eotb3?

@gemtumble Thanks, Gemma. Glad that you weren't saying the image sucks!:)

@malc Thanks so much, Malc/

@psychographer Hope it didn't get you sick looking at it. Today I took a shot of a kiwi on my dirty kitchen floor (figuring I could edit that part out). I am no Lisa Pouncy;-). Sheesh...

@carolmw Thanks so much, Carol!

@thirtysevenways I had considered that, but yeah, long arms might make me look kinda strange, too. An extra one would be nice sometimes. Hmmm...;-). Thanks!

@northy Thank you, Northy!

@barbsmith Thanks so much, Barb!
February 25th, 2013  
Love the colors and fun focus :) The swimming party sounds like a blast!! :) :)
February 25th, 2013  
@kbalychev Thanks, friend. My poor mama hurt her arm holding the paper up for me for so long. Can't wait to swim again this weekend, though!
February 25th, 2013  
Fun shot! I love this!
February 25th, 2013  
Love this, reminds me of the ones Livia @myautofocuslife did in her project. Nice focus and beautiful choice of paper =)
February 26th, 2013  
@istacy1011 Thanks, Stacy!

@tanja_1211 I loved Livia's version of this. I think that she did that early on last year and it was even her screen photo for awhile. Hers was better:). Thanks, Tanja.
February 26th, 2013  
Really neat abstract! I love how this plays with your eyes!
February 26th, 2013  
Nice cheerful colours and mind bending patterns.
February 26th, 2013  
@emrob I liked that, too. Thanks, lady!

@automaticslim Thank you, Andy. Appreciate that.
February 27th, 2013  
Very hypnotic!
February 28th, 2013  
@nadaa Thanks, Nada. You are getting sleepy;-).
