Kim Hildebrand Photography: 365 Project | Day 127 - 137

I admit I'm having a little trouble keeping up with this :). Not in taking the photos - I'm seeing so much photo-worthy content around me - but getting the photos posted on the blog!

These were taken between May 6th and yesterday the 17th. I've steered away from the kids and my normal content a little this time around and focused more on patterns, shadows, and drama. I've always loved abstract patterns. Patterns are all around us if you look hard enough, especially with the addition of bright sunlight and shadows we've had lately in Seattle. I've also added more drama through motion, lighting and textures.

I'd love to hear what your favorites are. Enjoy!

Day 127 - we got the sidewalk chalk out - warm, sunny days are here (for now)!

Day 128 - my morning run - taken with the iPhone :)

Day 129 - lilacs in bloom at Penguin Park. We picked some for Teacher Appreciation Week. I loved the three distinct changes in this photo.

Day 130 - Another project this Spring is cleaning out the house. I can't believe how much stuff we've held onto since the kids were born. Part of my project was donating several of Ella's baby dolls. In my quest to round them up, I found MY old baby doll my mom kept for me. Ella doesn't play with her much but she has some sentimental value to me. She's very vintage and beat up, so I played up that vibe in a "Chucky" type of way but I'm very pleased with the result.

Day 131 - I was asked to take some photos of Isaac's school building for their website and Facebook page. I decided to take a few inside since its a fantastic old brick building with lots of interesting details. I loved the shadows and patterns in this composition.

Day 132 - Isaac and I took a walk on the Burke Gilman Trail, a 10-minute walk from our house. I wish I knew this cat's name, because every time I am on the trail he's there relaxing on his post watching the numerous bikers, runners and walkers go by.

Day 133 - Mother's Day! Ella drew this cute picture of her and I on her gift bag. I thought it was so sweet!

Day 134 - Another project we have going on is an upcoming deck remodel (yay)! Our deck is literally rotting and scary to walk on. As you can see by Tim's demo, we don't have to worry much longer (except for falling, of course). You'll see more photos of this project (hopefully) soon.
