frost {17/365}

posted by on · 1 Comment

I woke up this morning feeling 100% better than yesterday.  And a good thing too because Mother Nature had decided to paint the world frosty and gray while I slept.  It only took one cup of coffee to convince me to get my ass in gear and get outside.

I was out for almost three hours.  I couldn't get enough of the beauty everywhere I looked and if I hadn't have filled my card, I probably would've stayed out even longer.

(the rest of the shots from today are on my flickr, if you're interested)

One of the things that I'm loving about this project is how it opens your eyes just a wee bit wider to your surroundings.

Now, if I can just learn how to also keep my eyes on the road ...

I love words.

These letters, DREAM, hang on the wall of my bedroom.  I think it's the most relaxed I've ever been taking a photo - laying face up on the floor, camera aimed towards the ceiling. ha!

I can pretend I'm at the beach, can't I?

a little bit of summer in January

I spent a good part of the day trying to get a picture of the plant, not the starfish.  I was having fun switching lenses, changing settings on the camera, setting things up.  The plant is a money tree, and there's a little story behind it.

And then I end up picking this shot.  heh.

one little word

My beautiful friend Chris pointed me to Ali's blog and the idea of One Little Word.  It struck a chord, and I thought about it off and on all that day.  What would my word be for 2010?

I love words.  You come to my house, you'll find them scattered all over the place, in various forms.  Huge block letters spelling DREAM hang, of course, in my bedroom.  INDULGE is in my kitchen (with something new to be added soon ... sshhhh ... it's a secret).  CREATE has a spot near my desk.  Most recently, BEAUTIFUL is on a scrap page I'm working on for my daughter.

Words are powerful.  They can hurt.  They can heal.  They can inspire.

The past few years have been a challenge.  And 2009 was pretty much all about healing.

My word for 2010 ...

true

It's time to move forward.  It's time to be true to myself.
