 January 7, 2013. My kids’ 3-week vacation ends. We spent a chilly hour at the park. I took photos with my Nikon 1 Anyway. I love this camera and it helps me capture special moments with my boys. I didn’t even notice I was taking photos of each of them doing the same thing (sorta) while we were there. They did some:  climbing,  crossing,  balancing, and of course–  sliding! Fast slides are the best. It was pretty great. They’re back at school and, I gotta say, I miss these faces.  
 Day 1: Holding on to gratitude.  Day 2: Re-framing the season.  Day 3: All you need is love.  Day 4: The key [to my peace of mind].  Day 5: The view from here.  Day 6: Every little thing.  Day 7: Expressing myself. I am once again getting amazing photography prompts via email every morning from Tracey Clark via Paper Coterie. I am ever so thankful because my Project 365 was starting to feel very tiresome. I guess the end of the year is just draining a lot of my creativity and so photography got put on the back burner. I’m happy to start feeling excited about it again!  Aside from the obvious–family, friends, etc.–something that means a lot to me is my ability to create. I love to knit and crochet and make things with my hands. It means a lot that I can make things with a simple piece of string! This was my shot for Project 365 on Thanksgiving day. It is usually a day for family. I bring along my camera with the best intentions of getting lovely shots of people enjoying each other, but then I end up being one of those people and my camera stays safely tucked in my bag. I only remember it when we’re already on our way across town to visit even more family. I know the same thing is going to happen–I’ll get lost in conversations and chasing littles around and my camera will stay in its place–so I take a photo of what I do between meals. Knitting.  |

(affixed with the 
lens). I am in love with this little camera. I still adore my D7000, but this baby is just so handy! I also don’t feel like such a weirdo when I bring it out. The giant DSLR makes me feel like I’m screaming, “LOOK AT ME! I have a camera! I take photos! Ask me to take your photo!” when I bring it out. I need to work on my confidence.
