Photo a day keeps the blues away!

DAY 1

Since it's Monsoon season here in Tucson I figure it's the best time to start since I LOVE taking sunset photos. Monsoon season gives the best clouds, wildlife, plants, mountains and sunsets (i.e. see photos below)


I know every person on Earth with a photo fetish does a 365 days of Photography. I know it's cliche but I think it's a good way to get back into doing photography the way I use to. Since it's Monsoon season here in Tucson I figure it's the best time to start since I LOVE taking sunset photos. Monsoon season gives the best clouds, wildlife, plants, mountains and sunsets (i.e. see above photos)


The following photo is kind of the inspiration of this new project.
      I placed this sign above the door originally to provide a little push to go out to the world and do something (if you can't read it, it says "Chase Your Dreams"). As I get older I realize the dreams I once had have dwindled into the back of my mind because the "adult" things in life take a precedence. 
      I recently joined a gym with my roommate and I am SO glad we did. We have gone to a couple of the classes they offer and I really enjoyed them, and am excited to continue to go! One type of these classes is called Body Flow (a combination of Tai Chi, Yoga, and Pilates). At the end of each class there is about a 5 minute Meditation period, the first class we went to the teacher said this quote: "Thoughts are like Shooting stars; they burn brightly for a moment and then are gone into the darkness". This quote got me thinking, if I don't act upon my thoughts they go away forever. One great idea could have been lost if I don't act upon it. However, some thoughts should be left to the darkness and I am hoping those thoughts and extinguished by providing an outlet such as photography. 
   


   On another note! The following photos are from the lilly ponds at Balboa Park. I love these flowers!



And an appreciation! I am SO thankful for my little itty bitty car! It is the cutest car and fits me so perfectly! If I had not made this purchase I would not be able to go so frequently to see my wonderful boyfriend in California! OR to see my family and make the kind of trips I do (i.e. drive an hour and half to see the midnight showing of Harry Potter 7 part 2 with my family).  I know it's super dirty but it's been raining a I don't want to waste money...I'll be bringing the power washer to it probably tomorrow!
Be on the look out. I am going to be doing a little blog everyday or at least every other day for a photo of the day! With all the rain we are receiving I hope to get out and do some hiking, perhaps this weekend!!!

I have not made time and keep making excuses. After talking to a friend we discussed you don't have time unless you make time. You can't do what you love unless you make time. I haven't decided how exactly I'm going to do this but in due time it will work out. The picture above is my new favorite flower photo. Thanks to the beautiful flowers in the San Diego Zoo Parking lot! Kyle and I at Giraffes! Another parking lot flower! A parking lot picture of ME! Peacock was sitting on the fence! I have a good one with him all fanned out but that I'll post later. Looking at the baby HIPPO! (pictured below) Cala Lilly P OLAR BEAR!!!! Ducklings walking across the bridge, to get to the other side. I love artichokes, and this picture turned out so good! The idea of photographing food isn't such a bad idea to me. Perhaps there will be more to come. Chad and Melissa!!!! visiting for my birthday. Fuzzy and Fattycakes reunited! the 3 muskateers! I don

IT's HERE! =]

I've been working on this post for way too long! BUT I wanted to get it just right! anyway, my canvas picture came! I'm so excited. It looks awesome but now I wish I had spent the money on the 14x16, or whatever is the next size up. Here's a picture of the picture LOL   Now in the honor of all the rain we've had here in Tucson lately, I thought I'd give a show of thanks to my wonderful Rain Boots or Galoshes! I bought these beauties for $5 at Kohl's on clearance about 4 years ago. Everyone thought I was crazy. Everyone has a pair! I guess I'm a trend setter =P They have come in handy many times. I even bought another pair but I always seem to wear these ones... Valentine's Day! I know this is a little past due but today was the first day I have been able to take pictures. For Valentine's Day, instead of receiving a bouquet of roses, I received this orchid plant. I have yet to re-pot it but I need to do so soon! This is a close up of one o

TREND

Seems to be a trend with the weekends...I seem to get so busy with other things I delay myself from posting the pictures I want to upload. I went to Phoenix this weekend to visit family, thus a delay in my posting, I do apologize! However, we must continue! Day 17: Time I always like to have my clocks set ahead about 5 minutes or so just to give myself some cushion. I'm always running late and it's a terrible feeling! I rely on my car clock a lot.  Sorry for the blurriness, I was driving! I also took this one. Without the sun, I believe our time tracking would be much different than it is now.  I am thankful for the sun but I much prefer life after the lights are off and you have nothing but the moon and stars to work by. =] Day 18: Drink I was planning on possibly going out with a friend this night but things didn't turn out. So my next best things but to photograph my starbucks cup! I redecorated it just for this purpose =] The stainless steel b
