2011 photo of the day : day 1

Happy 2011! Having just completed my first 365 project in 2010, I thought I would be ready to stop by the end of it, or even looking forward to stopping. However, that doesn’t seem to be th case. We went for a drive this evening to see the sunset. This photo was taken down in the Skagit flats, just off the side of the road. The colors were amazing. They were even more intense just a few minutes before this was taken.

Sometimes, it may be overgrown and hard to see, but there is always a path forward.



This is a picture I took at the river behind my grandparents house. One of my favorite places in the world. We spent New Year’s Eve out there (well, we made it until 10pm before heading home… midnight is late these days). It was a good time.

I can't believe this is my last picture for my 2010 photo of the day project. I have made it through a year of taking a photo every day. I feel like it is a huge accomplishment. I am very happy I did this project. It has helped me focus more on photography and photograph many things I would not have before this project. I am hoping to continue this in the coming year, though I may implement some changes. Such as, I may allow filler shots, for days when I have more than one photo I would like to share, or I go back and process some of the hundreds of unprocessed files I have sitting on my computer. 2011 is looking like it may be a challenging year. I am hoping by continuing to focus on photography and the joy it brings me, I can keep a more positive attitude. We will see if that works. Hope you all have a wonderful 2011!

And here are a few more photos from the day.







Here is a slide show of all my 2010 photos of the day. Enjoy!

This is a rock that I have in my office. I always wanted to take a picture of it lit from behind. So, today, I did.
