Since I was home by myself all day I decided to record it. I set up my camera and tripod to take a picture of the living room (the brightest room in our house) every hour from 8 in the morning until 8 at night.<br /><br />I also set up a timer so I wouldn't forget.<br /><br />In the twelve hours I was taking photo...

This is what I saw when I walked around the side of my office building on my way to met Rob. We've been seeing lots of sundogs the last little while but to see the full circle is rare. Can you see the little white flecks near the top of the picture - those are ice crystals.

Somehow the last few days of 2010 disappeared much faster than I was expecting. It's a good feeling to be looking ahead at the new year today. I wonder what it will bring, what we will see and where we might go. We don't have any big plans so far, so it really is a mystery right now.<br /><br />Abby and I went for our last walk of 2010 yesterday afternoon and I thoug...

I&#39;ve been finding myself more and more interested in taking pictures - framing, lighting, etc. - and thought a challenge like this would help me think this way on a regular basis.
