Sheryl's Project 365

COMING SOON....Project 365 Grateful!

2011-05-08T19:11:00.000-07:00

I finished a themed Project 365 in December 2010. I learned so much about composition, lighting, etc. It was one of the most difficult tasks I've ever completed. After completing the project, I didn't want to start a new 365 but I didn't want to take a long break either. I decided to start a Project 52 (one picture a week). I currently post these pictures on my flickr site. However, I'm about ready for a new Project 365. This time I am going to go more of a personal route. Instead of themes, I am going to take a picture a day of things for which I am grateful. I want to be more aware of the things that make me happy. But more importantly, I want my children to see that sometimes in this crazy, selfish and fast paced world, we have to stop and appreciate what we have and love in our lives. I want our hearts to be grateful! My Project 365 Grateful is coming soon so stay in touch!

And just because I can't make a new post without a picture.....here you go! :) Say hello to my furry friend from my Project 52! Have a wonderful day!

Day 336 Red

2010-12-04T21:01:00.000-08:00

I intentionally wanted no flash so I could add the grain from a higher ISO.
I thought along with the tilt it would make it look a little "woozy" (is that a word??? lol).

I always thought it was cool that redrum was murder backwards.

2010-11-20T06:58:00.000-08:00

I've read that the punishment for the sin of "sloth" is to be thrown into a den of snakes.

I found this Garter snake while walking with my husband. I couldn't resist taking him home for a picture. He's now safely back where he belongs in the wild (don't worry....he's not poisonous to us).

SLOTH: being physically and emotionally inactive.

I think our dog would qualify as slothful in this picture. She's active but the second she "sneaks" into the house, she becomes a lazy beast. lol I say "sneaks" because she opens the back door on her own and immediately runs to the sofa to hide.
