“Happy Birthday CY365!” Today marks the third anniversary of the launching of the Capture Your 365 website. This community has become such a big part of my life over the past year and a half. We had no sweet treats with which to celebrate so my cupcake became a fruit cup. Today is also Shrove Tuesday or Fat Tuesday, another day of celebration in preparation for the forty days of Lent that begin tomorrow. We had pancakes at church, an…
“Blue Monday” Today was just a weird day all the way around. Last night, because of ice and bitter cold temperatures, it was announced that Weber had no school today. I had a delayed start – 11am. This late start was nice, but it made no sense. Our classes are on a schedule where they begin at either 10:30 or 12. So with an 11 o’clock start time do we come for a 10:30 class? My students all decided “No!”…
“My Hero” Today is the birthday of two influential people in my life – Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel) and my grandfather. Both men were born on March 2, 1904. Dr. Seuss has been a part of children’s lives for many years since the introduction of the Cat in the Hat and his antics in 1957. My first book club membership, when I was three or so, was for Dr. Seuss books. To this day, they are still some of…
“Me in March” Here is the day’s runner-up. My first two selfies of the year were both black and whites. Today I had to decide whether to be “consistent” or to break out of my two month pattern. I opted for the color photo because it shows the outdoor aspect of today’s prompt a little better.
“A Hug” No matter the challenges, heartache, disappointments, frustration in life, most of the time a hug will do wonders to keep you going. As I came to the end of a busy day, a busy week, and a busy month, this was a much needed and a much appreciated hug!
‘A Moment of Silence” This evening I was able to seize a few much needed moments of stillness and silence.
“Eye of the Beholder”
“The Way of the Heart” I struggled with what to photography today. The primary prompt was “bittersweet” with the secondary words of mixed, chocolate, and nostalgic. With a little imagination, this image reflects mixed (feelings) and nostalgic. If you are interested in the story being retold in this photo, it can be found here in a previous post.
‘Smile” “Smile!” One of my goals this year is to make sure that I get at least one photo of each of the girls every month. This is easy with Erin because she is a willing model. Brooke, on the other hand, is quite the opposite. When it comes to photographing her, I just have to go for it knowing that it has the potential to be an unpleasant experience for all involved. There are several things about my goal…
“Dare To Be Different!” Today was a busy day with not much time to think about what to photograph. Considering that, I do like the way this came out, but I have to say that I think that it has more to do with luck than skill. I particularly like this quote. It is one that has taken me a lifetime to embrace; I am almost there. On a different note regarding “being different,” I wish that my schedule…
