The First Seven Days

I read about Project 365 (thanks Marianne) and thought it would be fun to try. I didn't start on January 1, but on January 20. The idea is to take a photo a day. I have taken several each day and have chosen my favorites. Here are my choices from my first seven days. I am currently using a Nikon Coolpix 800, a camera we have had for quite some time.

January 20


Our collection of firewood on the side of the house looked really cool. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and I took several photos outside and this was my favorite. The side of the house almost looks like snow in the background.

January 21

When we play golf, I always play from the forward tees. This time they were red. We played at El Rancho Verde Country Club in Rialto, California on an extremely windy day. It was so bad, my hat, that had been bobby pinned to my head, blew off. By the 18th hole, I couldn't play anymore. I was miserable.

January 22
How could I not include something to represent where I spend most of my time Monday through Friday. I have been here three and a half years and for the most part I enjoy it. The best part is that it is less than 2.5 miles from home. That will change in the middle of March. We are moving to a brand new facility that is about 5 or 6 miles away. There goes my lovely commute. :(

January 23
This is only a part of my desk at work. I have lots of little things and they are all different colors. Part of this project is to get to know your camera, so I thought black and white would kill two birds with one stone - eliminate the color confusion and try a function other than automatic on the camera.

January 24
How can our bookshelves be so crowded? There are many books that cannot be put away properly. I know have not read all of them and neither has Dennis.

January 25
Goofy, the cat we have had for 15 years. He has outlasted three other cats and is not too thrilled that we have brought yet another kitten into our home. He is not a lap cat, but he does like to be near where I am. Here he is in the little space between my keyboard and my scanner.

Some of the people at work are very nice. One of the guys went to Japan this week and brought me this Hello Kitty figure dressed in Japanese attire because Steve is living in Japan. Very sweet. He knows I miss him and hoped this would make me smile - it did!
