I'm so excited that Lysha at A Camera and A Cookbook is continuing her I Spy Challenge for 2022. Even though I haven't always been super timely about posting (see today's post, for example!), I've so enjoyed these posts every week. And I've also really enjoyed getting to know the other I Spy bloggers. We're a small but committed group. So on to the second last "I Spy" post for 2021.
The challenge for this week was to "make a collage with the 4 shots from each category." We took these pictures quarterly so here you go.

From top to bottom, left to right -- our backyard in January, May, July, and October 2021. The spring, summer, and fall pictures don't actually look all that different. Oh well... Next year, I will try to take them all in the same perspective -- either landscape or portrait.{Front of House}
{You (Selfie)}
If we do selfies again I'm going to take my "winter" one outside. I love how the rest of them turned out!

Even though I am a week late, I am using pictures which I took in Week 51 of 2021. I love this picture of Sam and Rachel which I captured during a walk. They were waiting for Dave, my mom, and I to get back from exploring and lying down in the field.

We celebrated with a lot of prosecco while at my parents' house. This bottle was to celebrate the fact that our suitcase arrived (after a two day delay) and we could finally relax and really be on vacation! Plus I love the sparkly ornament in the background and the tree lights shining through the glass.
So fun to do quarterly shots like this!
ReplyDeleteYour house is adorable. I envy your clothesline; my grandmother had one when I was growing up and I can still remember the smell of the sheets when she would pull them off the line. My sisters and I used to run through the laundry, which drove my grandmother crazy. Those were good times.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE our clothesline! It makes me so happy. Thankfully the kids are past the stage where they play in the laundry as it's drying!
DeleteWHY have I never thought of doing quarterly shots of, well, life? I did them of my beloved prayer chapel in Marion, but after that, it seriously never occurred to me. I LOVE THIS!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE seeing the seasons in your pics- so awesome!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was fun to put them all together. I'm glad Lysha, the host, asked us to do that.
DeleteI really like the collages of the different seasons. I also wonder if I should join this challenge, but I find it hard enough to take one good photo a week!
ReplyDeleteYour collages came out great! I LOVE that last photo of all the lights sparkling through the bubbles with the added sparkling ornaments. So festive!
ReplyDeleteLove your collages - your house is so pretty! The last shot with the sparkling ornament and bubbles is really special.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of your seasonal changes and your prosecco one is very festive. CarolG
ReplyDeleteSo sad that I got too wound up in LIFE to finish the year with iSpy but hope to get back at it this year. Love the house images and those of your smiling mug!! Great capture of the prosecco. Cheers to a fabulous new year.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the collages! My fav is your selfies! Love Prosecco!
