Saturday, May 19 (day 25) body art DSC_0311

day 25 may 19 body art.
a day at the market seldom disappoints.


usually you can find at least one compelling image from a trip to the market on a saturday. I love the mix of culture, arts, crafts, wholesome foods and just people of every shape size and interest. I wish there were more places like this in the city.

day 24 may 18
we didn't actually get one of these pineapple but we did get some yummy fish to grill out.

mmmmm I love pineapple - one of the many things to love about summer - all of the juicy fruits that are available.

Thursday, May 17 (day 23) grape leaf at night - ordinary time

day 23 may 17 daily photo diary
when i come home we have to walk the dogs out to the garden - this is a grape leaf. after the week of hard freeze earlier this year we were worried it wouldn't revieve but it's looking healthy. (no flash, no tirpod, no energy.)
yes I'm embarrassed to post a not ver intersting photo for the third day in a row.


If the post time says 11:59 i probably uploaded the photo later in the week or even the nest week and backdated the post. If you want to know when the photo was taken go to my flickr page and look at the photos properties. It'll give the time and of course today's date.

day 22 may 16 yet

another night when i was too busy to take a picture -so I'm driving up and down johnson drive looking for something I haven't already done. what do you want when you get off at 9,/930 pm? its dark i forgot to put a tripod in the car. Days like this I wonder if this sort of photo misses the point of taking a photo every day - but it does make me carry my camera and look for photos wherever I go - so maybe even if some of the shots are worthless in and of themselves - the intention of taking a photo every day will still help me to look at the world aroudn me a little more closely for the comming year.

day 21 may 15 i waited until night and then the dog got up DSC_0279

DAy 21 May 15.Photo Diary This is what happens when you wait until the last minute to take your photo -its dark your tired and you dog is laying on all your pillows - so of course she gets up when i go get the camera. too tired and lazy tonight to find another shot, I end up posting this sad excuse for a daily photo. In the interest of full discolusure - i did not upload this on teh 15th - blogger lets you change the date of your post - so I've backdated the post fot he date the photo was takent. If anyone ever suggests I've cheated at my prpoject 365 show them this photo as evidence - why would't I have used a better photo from one of the days i went to the market or the park and there were several photo opportunities.l

Day 20 they have open hearts at the erotic toy store



First I want to make it clear - i have never shopped here - it's not a very good representative of what I did today - but I do like hearts and I like neon signs when they are not in my neighborhood. this store is on my drive home to work -and on such an ordinary day I needed a photo

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? )
