January 12, 2013 Surprise

Here is my surprise. I've had cats all my life. I don't think I have been without a cat since I was ten years old. If I have, it wasn't for long. However, I decided I wanted my very own dog. I became my plan to convince my husband I needed one. I pointed out dogs in parks, I sent him pictures of dogs, etc. Finally, in July of 2012 I adopted Miss Kona from the local animal shelter. This is a baby picture but I used it toady because I truly was surprised that I was going to get to take her home.  She is a border collie mix.

January 11, 2012 Water

Water...wow as I thought of I this, I realized I take a lot of pictures of water; the beach, lakes, rivers, etc.  I have so many pictures I love, but this is supposed to be a picture a day thing and I wanted to use a picture I took on this day.  On the way home I thought I would capture a picture of the headlights of cars reflecting on the half frozen lake.I would have stayed long to try and get better pictures but frankly, it was freezing.

January 10, 2013 One O'lock

Rough topic; couldn't think of anything inspiring.  I work pretty long hours so it can be difficult to get out and take pictures. On this day though, it rained while I was driving to lunch. Since we are in the middle of a drought, the rain drops seemed like a good subject.

Raindrops keep falling.....

 

January 9, 2013 Paper

I was looking in my hopechest for something entirely differnt and came across a paper I forgot I had. It was my son's handprints from preschool, and a little poem. It brought tears to my eyes.  All other ideas related to paper went right out the window. He'll be 25 in March.

 

January 8 - Something that starts with a "T"

I thought about this topic for quite some time; there are so many things and topics that begin with T.  We go hiking on vacation so I always have pictures of trees but which tree? It was VERY cold this day. It is winter in Nebraska after all, but then I remembered a particular tree I photographed while on vacation a few years ago. This is one of my very favorite places on the planet.

Later in the day, the cat, "Lunch", was caught eating snacks in his cat tree. I posted a second picture, just for fun.

January 7, 2013 - Street

Dusty Dog is sick and it has been a long night with little sleep. No picture taking for me today. I am sharing a picture I took in Siem Reap, Cambodia. I love this country and really want to go back.
People should; people must travel in order to better understand the world.

 

January 6, 2013 - Mine

Ths is a picture of my baby bracelets. These were the first thing assigned as mine. These are tarnished, and show their age; like me. :)  When I saw the topic for today I knew I had to take a picture of these. Someone referred me to some free photo editing software that allows me to add captions. Thank you stranger. 

I hope you enjoy.
