6/365.
Oh, as much as I love the internet and email...I still LOVE getting snail mail!!!! Nothing beats going to the mailbox and seeing a delivery...except for bills, of course!!

The Internet reaches across a vast world. But doesn't that also include your own backyard?

And, I LOVE old rusty, weathered mailboxes too!!!!

Queen of the Roll.
I have given myself a title, aka as "the official toliet paper roll changer" and "Queen of the Roll". Not one that I am necessarily proud of. Just one that I think that I have honestly earned because no matter where I go...whether it be my house, work, my mom's, my sister's...I have to change the toliet paper roll. Why? I don't really know. I mean how is it that I time it just right to be the one everytime, everywhere??? But, I will admitt it, I tend to express my bitter feelings about it. I stomp my feet and grumble everytime. So, tonight when I went upstairs, this is what I found...


I some how think that my message finally got across...well, sort of. And, I have not found out who exactly did this yet...but, when I do I am going to give them a big o'le kiss!!!!!!! And, a free lesson on how to actually remove the old roll before actually placing the new one.

The end.
Day 4.
Sometimes on my way to work...I simply must pull the car along side the road and get out. Today was no exception. I just had to stop when I spotted this lonely post surrounded by the snow that had just freshly fallen the night before and the morning sun starting to rise up from behind the mountains. Even though my car registered only a whole five degrees.

The rays of happiness, like those of light, are colorless when unbroken. ~Henry W. Longfellow

Project 365.
So, what should I say? I finally decided that I am going to start one of these. Give or take a few days maybe? I don't know. I may call it quits after three months, or I may make it the whole 365. A photo a day for the next 365 days?? Hmmmmm.......

{1/365 }

What I expect? I don't know, to be honest. I just want to make more photos, have fun, learn, make mistakes and then learn from my mistakes. Create art out of everyday life. Capture everything I possibly can. What you can expect? Photos, that's all. Good one's? Maybe, maybe not. But, I am hoping to grow and learn from this experience. I am going to try and go out of my comfort zone a little. Try different lenses, try some different processing. I am hoping to really find my style.

(And yes, I know this year has 366 days.) Wish me luck. Oh yeah, Happy New Years 2012!!!!
