Day 260/365 in Project 365 started April 25 2007
Grattitude: I'm grateful to be working indoors today. I listened to a talk about health disparities for Native Americans hisotorically and currently today. It reminded me how blessed I am to have good health care, and that my parents and grandparents have good health care. I am also fortunate to work with people who are trying to work to change health disparities.

Project 365 Day 259
Grattitude: I am happy i decided to take the camera to work this morning. I am grateful that we were able to get an AWD car to replace hubby's truck when it broke - so that we both have a safe vehicle to drive to work when the roads are ice and snow covered. I am grateful for anti-lock brakes which helped me in the intersection today!

Day 257 of 365 in Project 365 started April 2007
Gratitude: I'm grateful my hubby cooks and that we are both willing to try new things - and even willing to take the risk that sometimes they won't be what we expected - sometimes on the other hand they will be even better than we'd hoped. I'm grateful to be loved.

Day 254 of Project 365
This pictures was taken in the hopes that hubby will do a paiting of him some day.
Grattitude: I'm grateful I got to spend the day with my hubby when I thought he'd be sleeping all day due to working tonight. We discovered "The Mixx" a few weeks ago - went there today it's a great lunch place - nice fresh tossed salads made to order and wonderful soups. Soup is one of my favorite foods. Then we looked at Andy Goldsworthy books at the store while having coffee. This guy was perusing a magazine and his face just begs to be photographed don't you think?
Portraits aren't so much my thing but unitl I go outside I'll practice the occasional enviornmental portriat since I'd like to be able to take good travel photos should I ever get to travel....

Day 248 of Project 365 (started april 2007)
Gratitude: I'm grateful to have time off with my sweetie to enjoy the beautiful weather and spend time trapesing around a local lake. I'm grateful for secluded places to hike. And, since this was not a naturally occuurring lake, I am grateful to the army corp of engineers for building it. I'm grateful to my husband for encouraging my frequent photo stops - I know it sometimes slows us down quite a bit on our hikes. I am grateful to god for the eagle posing and the weather being warm enough for us to venture out.
i was able to get in somewhat close but unfortunately when i tried to move to a place where the branches wouldn't be so cluttery - off he flew. and my lens isn't good for fast movement like flight it's a clunky old manual 1000 mm there are a few more but they have all these branches too

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!

why do my lips do this ? Day 248
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.

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
Dec 26 2007_magical snow in kansas Day 246
Day 246 of 365. December 26 - the day after christmas. so, it snowed on and off for much of the day. on my drive home from work I found a place to pull over and photograph the trees. happily for this shot the snow was still falling.....

house on the hill Day 244/365
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...

i haven't uploaded the other pics from tonight yet. i was out w/ friends you think I would have photographed them - but no I opted to photograph the lights. Maybe because I don't like my own photo I'm not as into photographing people as I am objects and animals and such.....
