Joy of Luck: Photography Challenge Day 2

Day 2 of the Joy of Luck Photo Challenge was:

"Prompt: St. Patrick’s Day is all about the wearin’ o’ the green these days!  Green is all over the place today as we celebrate Saint Patrick and being Irish.  You can also see green when you look out your window at the new buds forcing their way up.

Green is also symbolically the color for newness, new beginnings, spring and life.  Today I want you to find the green – this can be ANYTHING that is either the literal color green OR something that brings newness, new beginnings, life, or hope to an otherwise dismal situation.  Look at your day not as a series of hurdles/problems, but as a blessing!  We are SO lucky for all that we have.  Capture this with your lens!"

I really hope nobody can see into my house. I had to open the front blinds to let in some natural light and the camera was set up on the tripod in front of the window facing in. I kept running back and forth to try to get a decent shot. Since it's naptime I'm on a time constraint so I took a photo out of my second set and edited it. Taking a photo of yourself on a timer is really hard. Especially when you are draped and trying to get in position before the camera goes off. I am also draped with green. I edited this photo to look like it was taken in the 60's. I don't know why, I just like old photos.



So here is my "green" photo. My green is representing new life. We will be welcoming our second son into the world at the end of May. A new life, a new love, a new challenge.
