Will I make a Photo per day in 2013?

Last year I started a Photo per day album, but things got out of hand and life just ran away with me. This year I am not promising to do the same, but I am going to try and take one each day and post it here, so please forgive me if I miss any days due to overwhelming circumstances. I just enjoy what I do and love having fun with my camera. Please feel free to leave your comments!

I received these two beautiful gifts from my stepdaughter for Christmas which she had bought on her travels to Venice and Croatia.  I simply love them so much! I have wanted a Venetian mask for 28 years and finally I have one! :-)

Two pigeons caught lovingly taking care of each other. Not sure whether the one on the left is the female, but her/his eyes are closed. Just think it is so cute!

Part of supper tonight! Guess it isn't earth shattering, but then who said that all photographs need to be earthshattering when you are trying to take one each day! ;-)

Spent a wonderful morning at the Helderberg Nature Reserve with a very special friend teaching her the little I know about my camera and taking photographs. When I took this photograph I didn't see the dragonfly which was trying to hide behind this opening reed. So when I got to look on my PC after downloading them all Lo and behold there to my surprise was a double pair of dragonfly wings sticking out the sides! :-)

Finally finished off a top that I sewed for myself last year. This is the crocheted embellishment around the neck. Hoping to start making little girls dresses soon and doing a bit of upcycling of clothes. Watch this space!

Fire from Franschoek causing the sky to be filled with smoke and giving the sky an orange hue. Very sad because the wind is so strong.

Red amongst the green. I love this tree and especially when the sun reflects through the red leaves. I call it a 'HEART TREE' because the leaves look like hearts.

I found these in a little blue manhole, which is used when they come and fix the burst water pipes in our road. They are very busy bees that have made a nest obviously in the manhole. Would llove to see what happens when the men come to fix a burst pipe. :-)

Well the first month of 2013 gone down and now 11 more to go!

So the final photograph for January 2013 is a fun one! Strange cloud formation which looked like an 'L' for Laurette! So I added my own 'skywriting'! What do you think?
