30 days of gratitude :: Day 12 :: hands ... Hands on my new camera and shooting everything in sight. Really working low light and loving life!!
30 days of gratitude : twelve
30 days of gratitude : eleven
30 days of gratitude :: Day 11 :: something old ... That's my BF Holly and her beau, Jeff. Why am I posting these two as something old? Well, because my friend Holly and I met in kindergarden and have remained friends ever since. We certainly had our ups and downs and crazy shenanigans, but, like sisters, we forgive and forget and remain BF's! She and her hubby hosted me for a Thanksgiving feast! I am so thankful to have such wonderful, old friendships.
30 days of gratitude : ten
30 days of gratitude :: Day 10 :: nature ... Sadly work has killed my hopes of getting any sort of decent photography for this particular challenge. I was lucky to get a shot off before the sun was completely down... seriously had to go outside specific to take this, then back to the computer. It's a sad sad tale to tell... I had a bit of a breakdown late this afternoon because client rep is asking for something first thing Friday morning. SERIOUSLY? Does she really expect our team to actually work on Thanksgiving?
Oh and I totally missed yesterday - day 9, someone inspiring. Most of the people that inspire me are not in my daily life, so not much opportunity for that shot anyway. Boo. I promise I will try to do better...
30 days of gratitude : eight
30 days of gratitude :: Day 8 :: favorite color ... I got the blues. I love navy blue - it's the color that looks the best on me (brings out the eyes) and is the color that is pretty deeply rooted into my life. High school colors were blue and white. College colors were crimson and blue ... I could go on, but I won't ... because I'm still at work. Late night kids!
30 days of gratitude : seven
30 days of gratitude :: Day 7 :: something funny ... I got nothing.... Not one funny thing happened to me today nor is anything around my home funny. Sad, but true. So ... I leave you with a photo from the super cute baby shower I attended yesterday. Today has been nothing but work and grocery shopping. B O R I N G!! Hope you had a great weekend!
30 days of gratitude : six
30 days of gratitude :: Day 6 :: books ... Pantone books have been all I've been able to look thru lately. All work. All the time. But as you can see, I make the best of it , picked up some beautifully colored French macarons for inspiration. Aren't they a most lovely Fall combination?
Enjoy your Saturday! I'm off to a baby shower and birthday party - gonna be a long night!
30 days of gratitude : five
30 days of gratitude :: Day 5 :: Morning Sky ... Got up a little early to be able to pop over to the beach for a little sunrise splendor and failed to get out of the house early enough for actual sunrise, oh well. Only an hour later and this was the beautiful scene ... I'll take it! I so underutilize the fact that live within blocks of this beautiful shoreline... I say that every time I go, but even when the wind is blowing like crazy and it's bitter cold, it's so peaceful and serene.
Today is the day that I am eligible for an iPhone upgrade and I am so on the fence about it. The 4 has served me well and I hear the 5 is just around the corner. AND I've been told I will loose those sunbursts when shooting directly into the sun, and I love those soooooo much! What to do??
30 days of gratitude : four
30 days of gratitude :: Day 4 :: Leaves ... Sadly the leaves are almost all gone from the trees and the weather has turned downright bitter! I nearly froze my fingers off on a 15 min walk to snap these photos. A whopping 30 degrees... at least the sun was cheery and bright! I snapped the above shot of the beautiful red leaves blowing in the brisk breeze and had to take the new cam out for a few snaps too.... Isn't Fall the most beautiful and picturesque season?
30 days of gratitude : three
30 days of gratitude :: Day 3 :: Happiness is a peppermint hot chocolate on a cold day. (I do wish they still had the signature hot chocolate at Starbucks tho *wink*)
30 days of gratitude : two
30 days of gratitude :: Day 2 :: Smile ... like you mean it. Ha! I cannot even think of the word without singing a little tune. So what am I smiling about? So many things! Mostly that I am alive, healthy (for the most part), have a job that I like (most of the time) and have had incredible opportunities to meet outstanding people and visit the most beautiful places in the world. What are you smiling about?
