4/365-3 A Reflection of Me
“Give and Take” I am see to be in my introspective period…
2/365-3 Think Over
“Don’t Think. Just Be.” The left-brained academic in me often overpowers the creative free-spirit that also resides within but only occasionally is set free to come out for recess. I am always thinking, planning, trying to learn, hoping to improve whatever I think needs improvement, which often feels like almost everything. For Christmas I was given the book Photography as Meditation by Torsten Hoffman. I picked it up early today just to take a peek. I was sitting near a…
1/365-3 Good Morning 2015!
“Thanks and Possibilities” Welcome 2015! What better way to start a new year than with a warm cup of coffee in a mug given to me for my birthday by an awesome friend.; the wisdom on the mug is a perfect mantra to take into the new year. And, by looking back at all that 2014 gave to me. For Christmas, Erin collected my photos from the year and had them printed in a book. On the cover is my…
365/365-2 Party
“No Dancing Shoes!” Yes, I forget to post this “yesterday,” but it was after midnight when I got home so technically it would have been today anyway… This is not the photo that I would have liked as my final image for the conclusion of my second year of a picture a day, but this is what my life was today. And the point of this project is to document my life, so here it is. My leg is not…
364/365-2 Cozy Indulgence
“Birthday Indulgence” Today I could either get cozy or indulgence, but they didn’t both happen at the same time. I decided to go with just indulgence because it made for a much better picture! Having a birthday so close to Christmas, like anything, has advantages and disadvantages. This year the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages because I got a new lens on both occasions – not a joint gift, but actually two lenses! I freely admit that this is a…

“The Dreamer”
360/365-2 Seasonal Attire
“The Hat” “The hat” is always seasonal attire around here, or at least a hat. This one was perfect for today when it was chilly outside, but not cold enough for a coat, or even a jacket, for that matter. I am such a sucker for the hat and the guy in the hat. The guy in the hat gave me a new lens for Christmas. Surely he knew that if he gave me a lens he would end up…
358/365-2 Naughty or Nice
“You Decide.” I was drawn to this image of Erin that was taken on her birthday. For someone reason, to me it is perfect for “naughty or nice.” We had a somewhat less frantic Christmas eve than usually. I did get everything wrapped, chili made for Christmas day, and some cleaning done, but I decided that some cleaning just was not going to get done. That’s why they make doors that close. Church was a nice change this year. I…
354/365-2 With the Tree
“O’ Christmas Tree!” You may notice that there are no ornaments on the lower branches of the tree nor are there any gifts under the tree. The absence of both of these things is due to the presence of the cat with/in/under the Christmas tree.
351/365-2 The Number “5”
“Take Five” This time of year can become so hectic as we try to accomplish all those things that we think we should – home decorations that are acceptable to even Martha Stewart, holiday meals that are tasty, pretty and liked by everyone, finding the perfect gift for all those on your gift-giving list and so on. If we stop long enough to engage a bit of rational thought, we will realize that none of these things is what makes…
