Day 365/365

FINALLY!!!!! I'm stopping and smelling the roses!!!! lol
Actually I am embracing my accomplishment. I have always seen my world in snapshots and songs (adjust lighting, angle and change up the lyrics as I go lol). What an exciting, fulfilling and intimate project.

I can literally look back on a year of moments in my life...

I finish with rewards far greater than I could imagine. Valuable lessons I've learned, simply by looking through a lens...

Thank you for all the love and support I received through this little adventure of mine.

Day 359/365



holy cow i am so close to the finish line. so many things i love to do, become more work than play. thats a drag! lol i have REALLY been trying to create moments! lol seriously. i love appreciating moments, capturing them, spotting them out. 
i love when life...
  • shows you something, stopping you dead in your tracks
  • makes you tilt your head
  • causes you to raise your eyebrows up only to push them together
  • makes you look more than twice
  • causes uncontrollable giggles
i love when things turn out  
when you capture an authentic moment in time 

Good Morning Friday
so good to see you again

Day 349/365

happy february ...and where the heck did january go?? sheesh! january is always funky for me, and i am a little glad we hauled buns through it. it was insanely cold today, resulting in my fondness for wool to increase. several times today i watched as the wind blew the slow around. several times i thought to myself i should go get my camera eh, maybe next time.
"live to share"
this is my yogi tea thought for the day. 

i was treated to some homemade french onion soup (thanks syd). good stuff for a high of zero low of minus 17 kind of day. These little deer were outside the kid's place, just a munchin' on the leaves that are left.

Day 348/365

yesterday afternoon, i had the strangest thing happen. there i was driving down the road and i see a hawk carrying a rabbit in his talons! we about had a head on collision and the bird of prey dropped his rabbit and flew away leaving feathers behind him. i was left in a "HOLY CRAP DID THAT JUST REALLY HAPPEN" state of mind.

this morning walking into work there was a little furry friend. now i doubt very seriously if this is the SAME rabbit, but of course it does make ya stop and think... WTH is the universe trying to say. so i googled some things, then i tried bing and finally found this page. rather you believe in this sort of thing is neither here nor there, but it was interesting (for me) nonetheless.

so my photo of the day is my furry friend capture, walking into work this morning. the hawk carrying the rabbit did not get captured on my camera, but will forever be a true story i can share :) 


while on my lunch break i captured this... rays of sunshine through a tangled mess...

Day 346/365

i am playing a bit of catch up. this week has been full of business ~some of it good~some of it, not so much. i have been on a simple abundance journey, and this is day 29. today i thought about how to "draw a personal treasure map". the most savvy pirates knew the importance of mapping out the buried treasure. they also knew its worth... 
"you have to know what your digging for, before X can mark the spot."

Chocolate Chip Cookies :)
I wish I had a fantastical story about these "home made cookies"... Here is the deal, I am domestically challenged. I have stopped fighting this fact and embrace it! I am just grateful they have these awesome packages of cookie dough where all ya do is plop them on a cookie sheet and cook ~whaa laaa poof ~ you have gooey chewy :)

Day 338/365

I talked to my oldest yesterday, and when he referred to me as MeMa Juice, I HAD to laugh! 

I started my family early in life. This means the boys had more grandparents than they could count. We had "Grandma with the chickens", "Big Grandpa" (who was later dubbed "Mean Grandpa"), Grandpa with the pretty birds, Grandma with the crazy cat. Then there were the last name grandparents, and the first name grandparents... you get the idea. I imagine my grandson is going through the same type of thing...

Julius and I sat down and had a talk about this, and he likes it :)
 MeMa Juice it is :)

Day 332/365

i'm writing today, with no photo in mind... i am at a point in my project where i am exhausted. inspiration comes in smaller waves. reflecting on my journey. three hundred and thirty two days, a camera in hand. some days spending HOURS just to "find" the shot. other days capturing "it" on the run. reminding myself it has been 353 days since my d80 found a home with me. prior to that i was a point and shoot type a gal. i remind myself of the many things i've learned. not just on the subject of photography, but the world around me. rather capturing the moment, or creating them. learning to relax. "perfection" is over rated. "curious"-"interesting"-"oops" are far more fun AND realistic :) (i can always count on my oop's of the day lol). i still have yet to picked a theme for my 52 week project. i am undecided. this is me, trying to have a little more faith in the universe. who knows my project may be "themeless" lol. HA
