I decided to have a little bit of fun with Week 11, and in keeping with my idea of a theme for the week, decided upon the theme of "Taking Flight". The aim of this week was to capture things in flight, or capture metaphors of things in flight. I'm pretty pleased overall with how things went, especially since some of my shots were very last-minute. I have to say that as things get busier here in Ümla-Land, it becomes increasingly difficult to stay caught up, but I'm managing. I love how having a theme each week challenges my photography skills.

Sunday's pic was a very last-minute thing. I had decided upon my theme, but didn't know what to photograph. So my hubby threw his pillow in the air. Snap. Done.

Monday's pic was another homage to my love of popcorn. And how perfect was it to take a picture of popcorn popping? Oh yeah!

Tuesday's pic does not have anything that flies per se. I took a bit of artistic license, as you can see. My daughter LOVES both the Superman and Supergirl movies. The old school movies. We bought this shirt at Gap Kids, in the boys' section, which fortunately did not seem to phase my daughter. This photo represents the outfit that she wore to school on Tuesday. My little superhero!

My daughter was super-excited for Wednesday's pic, because I told her that she got to jump on my bed for it. I think I made her day. I even pulled out my wide-angle lens for this shot.

I'd love to take credit for Thursday's pic, but this one was totally my hubby's idea. Notice how most of the shots for this week were taken in my bedroom. For good reason. I have been procrastinating. Even though though this shot was staged, I think it really represents just how much my hubby HATES folding laundry. Don't you just love seeing the flying socks everywhere?

Guess where Friday's pic was taken? If you guessed my bedroom, then you'd be right. This is Gepenguin (pronounced "Guh-pen-gwon"). He is German. He is also our go-to stuffie when one of us is sick. Nobody was sick this week, but we decided to hang out with him. My daughter has really taken to him, and is obsessed with trying to make him fly (for pretend, not for real). It was only fitting that he be featured in one of my shots.

Saturday's pic was NOT taken in my bedroom. YAY! Although there's nothing technically flying, it's something "in flight". That something being my daughter.

I hope that Week 12's pics don't all end up being taken in my bedroom. I'll try to make that my goal. I have picked a theme for the week. Are you ready? Reflections! I'm going to try to get creative with this theme, since I've done a few reflection shots already for previous weeks. This will keep me on my toes!
