During the winter months I tend to forget about taking pictures. Gray days and cold temps encourage snuggling in- easy to do in a house with no lighting. Seriously, our little, north-facing home is ideal for cozying up and hiding from the outside world.
Now that it’s Spring, we’re more than ready to open the windows and let the freshness of nature breeze through the house. It’s also a good time to pick up the camera and explore the outside. And, that’s what I love most about this photo-a-day challenge. With a different word prompt each and every day, I am looking around more. Noticing more. Getting out more.
Once again my little camera has become my friend. We’re battle-worn comrades and my Fuji shows it’s battle scars well- the battery door won’t shut and so it’s held together with a tight rubber band. The lense is dusty and in need of cleaning. It has recorded so many images over the last four years and is, indeed, in need of retirement. Hopefully later this Spring {I was supposed to get a new camera over the winter months but it just didn’t happen :/}.
But, here we are. Embarking on a photo-a-day together. Capturing moments in time. Here are the moments from this week that I wanted to remember forever:
Day 1- Reflection: laundry day
Day 2- Colour: movie night with a friend and chatting afterword in the darkened parking lot
Day 3- Mail: My “mail sorter” not really working for me
Day 4- Someone who makes me happy: Having lunch and pie with a friend from work
Day 5- Tiny: Tiny chocolate chips atop frozen yogurt on my lunch hour
Day 6- Lunch- Salad and a baked potato on Friday afternoon
Day 7- Shadow: cheating just a tad as Thom really took this picture of me & my shadow
