12/29/07 Pink and Blue Mix 249/365

I was intrigued by her look - mostly sort of preppy and feminine with the flowered dress and pink lips - but then her hair had blue tips. I think the pink lemonaid really added to the contrast for me. so -this is my picture of the day today.



here are some other people who are doing this (ok just one but I'll add to the list)

yay one more on explore....briefly

on flickr explore is this elusive thing that some of us seek - it's exposure basically. well, it has always eluded me - there are 500 images that make it to explore every day. a couple of days ago one of my images made it in, then dropped as of today - it has re-entered and risen to 144 - which is my highest "ranking" yet. it's an algorthm so I shouldn't care - but I do. it feels good. at least part of the algorythm is being favorited and commented on my people who visit your photo. so I have to thank all of my visitors. I am excited by it - and when I uploaded the image from my memory card - I knew it had potential because it took my breath away and I'm often a critic of my own work. yay!

today friday december 28 day 248 of 365 days of photos. I was off work w/ my hubby today but not feeling so well - and there ws nothing of interest to photograph when we ran out to run a few errands.


I cropped this image in to focus on my lips because in almost every photo there is of my I am disturbed by the crookedness of my face. it's the same whether i smile, frown, or just relax - the lips are crooked.

its cold i'm sick there's nothing to shoot Day 247 dec 27

day 247 of 365. there was nothing to photograph today. i went to work - my stomach hurt so I decided this colorful door could use a little attention. snow is pretty when it's falling - as yesterday - but then when the cars and pets get ahold of it....not so pretty anymore. so - we stayed inside tonight & rented a movie

In my quest to take a picture every day for a year- the moonis often my saving grace.
I went to pick up hubby from work around 730 AM and the moon was still in the sky - big as you want - so I pulled over to snag this shot...

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? )
