i love our little koi pond. although not entirely secluded - it is still soothing to sit and listen to the water, watching for jumping fish.

I have to credit my hubby with the idea for this one. I was complaingin that I didn't have an idea for the day and wanted to take a walk - well he didn't have time for a walk so he says - the birdbath is all green - why don't you take a close up of the green water. so I did - and then I thought this foot made a nice abstraction. I think this daily photo will really challenge me to come up with some intersting htings - I'm sure there will be cop outs too - but I look forward to the photographic challenges of the comming year.
I hope some of my freinds will join me in this?

This isn't the prettiest picture I took today - but It gives a picture of what is going on in my life this monday. (I didn't acuatally upload unitl tuesday but lucky blogger lets me change the date.) so here is this rusty lookig lake in the floorboard of my car. the first itme there was moisture i thought I'd spilled some water - so i cleaned out my car and removed all of the floor mats. well, no sooner had it started to dry then we had anotehr rain - and another - well, obviously this isn't just an uncapped water bottle -this is a real problem. My car is 14 years old - the thing is - the engine is still good - its jsut the body that has it's issues.

day 12 sunday night empy streets kansasDSC_0106

sunday - photographically kind of a let down after the weekend. some days there isn't much to shoot - I can see that doing this every day and not just once a week for a year will be a challenge. It is so tempting to cheat and use sometihng from one of the days I found several shots.

Daily Examen - things to consider each day

1. Express Gratitude 2. Petition for light (see self & ohters in God's eyes, ask to see the role only I can play) 3. Review the day: look at day's actions, omissions, thoughts & desires what does this tell me aobut myself in relation to self, others, God, the world 4. Lift out something & ask for help 5. look ahead - how do I want to carry on (today - the rest of my life what / who do I want to be master of my life? what are my core values? )
