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!!!

The Hydraulics aren't working! We have to shut down the roller coaster!

I hate to break it down for you but if you know the whole roller coaster analogy of life I think you can skip to the next paragraph. I'm sure you've heard Life is like a roller coaster with the ups, downs, and loop-de-loops...Another way to think of Life being like roller coaster is one part of the coaster fails, it shuts down and no one can have fun, up or down. Well you find out pretty quick that when you're sick it's like the coaster gets shut down...well for me anyway. So Day 7 I woke up feeling terrible. Slept most of Day 7 and 8. Day 9 was my first day back to work and I'm exhausted.  I'm finally getting better though. I will post Day 7-10 tomorrow...hopefully. I'm pooped today! The coaster is up and running though, not full steam yet, but we're treckin' along, before I know it I'll make it to the top of the rise and be going faster than I can handle! (who says all downs have to be negative? in fact I think going downhill is WAY more fun ...

Framed Pictures

I bought four 8x11 picture frames at Michael's a couple weeks ago for some pictures I've been meaning to buy frames. Unfortunately the pictures I have don't fit in the frames, they're too big. SO I decided I am going to print four of my photos and put them in the frames and sell those. I have not decided on prices yet because I am unsure if I want to paint the frames or distress them more. I will post pictures of the complete products when I get the chance, this semester seems to be taking over a lot more than I expected. If there is something you would like to see framed or have ideas of things you would like to buy for yourself or a friend, email me to let me know, I will try me best to accommodate.

what would you doooooo for an entry?!

Day 4: fun! This day was last Friday. I got 2 hours of sleep and I could NOT sit at my desk at work. Luckily, a co-worker suggested getting one of the balls to sit at. OMG it was so fun! Day 5: Bird The best picture I can get. Day 6: You Day 7: Someone Who Inspires You I know this isn't a person, BUT I don't think he would like it much if I posted one of him recently. Plus this says why He inspires me...I deadlifted 135 for the first time the other day! Tonight I did 95 squat...I'm proud of myself, without him I wouldn't be growing strong(her) Day 8: A Smell You Adore =] Smells delicious
