366 :: 1-7

~ Maggie ~ 2 Comments

One of the things I really want to pick up again this year is taking pictures with my DSLR (most of the recent pictures on my blog were made with a pocketcamera, convenient, but I love my DSLR).
So I challlenged myself to take at least a picture a day with it. The first week was a bit bumpy, but I actually did it (never mind the quality, I’m a bit rusty).
Since I don’t want to post on Flickr, Instagram or Facebook and it’s not really a great option to post single photos each day, I’m thinking it would be fun to do a (sort of) weekly summary on the blog.
So here it goes…

 1/366 :: clear

 2/366 :: moving

 3/366 :: saved

 4/366 :: coffee

 5/366 :: contrast

 6/366 :: trial

 7/366 :: soaked by the rain

A good start

The first day of 2016 started with a beautiful blue sky and sun. I love a good start of the year.
Yes, it has been raining the past two days, but I try to keep things positive here and I like that picture 😉

Winter solstice

Hello, sun in my face.

Hello, you who made the morning

and spread it over the fields

and into the faces of the tulips

and the nodding morning glories,

and into the windows of, even, the

miserable and the crotchety –

best preacher that ever was,

dear star, that just happens

to be where you are in the universe

to keep us from ever-darkness,

to ease us with warm touching,

to hold us in the great hands of light –

good morning, good morning, good morning.

Watch, now, how I start the day

in happiness, in kindness.

― Mary Oliver

 This morning he wasn’t sitting next to the road, but on it and it wasn’t easy to get him out of the way.

The people using it as a short cut to avoid traffic jams were not amused… (I was)
