The view from my living room window one morning last week.

316. Domestic
B proved himself to be something of a domestic god by hand-making this Formula One cake for his dad's birthday. I was amazed.
314. Blessing
B's dad's 65th birthday celebrations, a couple of weeks ago - here he is making a wish as he blew out his candles. Such a blessing to have such great family and friends to share these occasions with.
313. Wide-Angle
Finally going to get round to finishing off this project! I've had such a lot of paid photography work to do over the last few weeks that I haven't had time to take or edit much for this. I'll be making amends this week, however. Here is a wide-angle family portrait shot from one of my recent jobs. It was such fun to work with this family but, with 10 adults and 4 children, getting them all into one frame certainly did require a wide-angle!

311. Enormous
The roads and skyscrapers in the US are huge - this view down a Chicago city centre high street being no exception.

306. Vanity
B and I did a lot of photographing ourselves in the amazing Cloud Gate sculpture in Millennium Park, Chicago.
305. New York
I never thought I would be able to complete this theme with an actual photograph from New York, as we hadn't planned to travel there this year. Our trip was quite short notice and, as always, I took lots of snaps while we were there. However, I have chosen this snap of the Brooklyn Bridge, with New York City in the background as my shot for this theme - I love the bridge; it's one of my favourite pieces of architecture and so photogenic. It is up there with the Chrysler Building and Empire State if you want to photograph icons of the city.
304. Chaos
Traffic queueing to get onto Manhattan, across the Williamsburg Bridge - chaotic as on the other side were no working traffic lights in the power outages.
303. Unexpected
Enjoying a quiet moment on the lakeshore, just after B proposed - most unexpectedly.
301. Stop sign
This is such a typical American scene - the yellow school bus and bright red stop signs.

300. Travel
En route through Ohio and Indiana, I amused myself trying to snap photos of the amazingly shiny trucks. I like the red ones the best.
299. Spontaneous
This bride and her gaggle of bridesmaids were in Millennium Park, Chicago, doing the bouquet throwing. I grabbed the opportunity to get a shot or two - I just love the expressions on their faces!
298. Near
Very brave squirrel in Niagara Falls State Park - clearly very used to tourists as he let me get very close with a lens in his face. No zooming here!
