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!!!

July?

When did that happen?!?! My life has been a chaos. Decided to leave my current job and find new employment in, wait for it.....San Diego! or Phoenix, where ever I can find a job first really. In that time I've be preparing to train the newbie for my job and get things organized so they aren't so hectic when I leave. I also had to plan for vacation time off. Then had to help the roomie pack up things and move. THEN it was July 1! ::shakes head:: Why does time never seem to be lapsing when you are young and then the older you get the faster the world spins? One theory I have is that we learn to tell time better every year we are alive and as a kid you don't have deadlines like adults. I'm grateful for the speedy days though when I work!

30 minutes to go but I did it!

So it took me all day to do this but that's what happens when you wake up at 12PM! =] Day 7: Button I couldn't choose just one button that I had so I took a picture of all of the loose buttons I have... Day 8: Sun Today was so pretty! With the clouds and the sun I had to use the photo I took today instead of the other one I was going to use. Day 9: Front Door This picture I am not proud of...it's sloppy but my front door isn't entertaining at all...I do like however that I got the Eiffel Tour in it. Day 10: Self Portrait MOI! Day 11: Make You Happy My Bed and my Bears make me happy! I love spending all day in bed reading and snuggling with my bears since it's the closest thing I can get to being with my boyfriend... Day 12: Inside Your Closet I was sitting on the floor doing something (now I can't remember what) and I decided I would take this picture. Came out well I think. This is only half my closet but that doesn...

FINALLY an update =]

I finally have a little time to sit down and make a new entry with some of the amazing photos I've taken with my graduation gift. An Update first, however. School is finally over and I have graduated from The University of Arizona with my Bachelor's of Science in Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences with a minor in Special Education, Rehabilitation, and Educational Psychology.  I recently was hired on at a hospital as a Hearing Tech (or an Audiologist Assistant). I have only been there a few weeks but I really do enjoy the work I have learned so far. The Audiologist rock and I have the privilege of working along side a retired U of A professor two days a week. =] The pictures above and below are my graduation cap. I decorated it with stars and a 'T'. I Received a SLR Nikon for my graduation gift. I almost cried from happiness! I am ecstatic at the picture quality and the abilities it has with the lens that were bought with it. I have a regular le...
