Snowing...Christmas lights...it's almost kind of pretty. :)
Using Project 365 (a photo a day for an entire year!) as a way to motivate me to take photos more often, focus on what it is I am taking photos of and learn in the process. Doing a blog along with it to help to document the process while trying to keep my vulnerability in check. Constructive criticism is always welcome.

Day 333, Project 365
This is one of my favorite Christmas ornaments; it belonged to my Grandma Turtle (yes, I named my grandmas after animals - Turtle because she was always slow/late and Bunny because she had bunnies in her yard and she was faster than Grandma Turtle). :) I remember staring at this ornament year after year and the little scene inside it and the puff of snow - it was so much more interesting to me as a child than a regular glass bulb. One of the many ornaments I treasure.

Day 325, Project 365
My Great-Aunt's church has a bizarre and luncheon today; Bob and I stopped down and had a sarma lunch. For 42 years I've turned my nose up at sarma - love the smell (I think because it reminds me of my childhood and time spent at Baba's) but never actually tried it (that I can recall). I braved it today and it wasn't too bad. :) I won't be craving it but at least now I know. Haha.
Here's a plate of sarma, mashed potatoes and bread:

The volleyball banquet...a tradition, the wrap-up to a great season, the look ahead to the future.
Beyond proud of this girl for her hard-work, dedication and perseverance.

She was voted MVP by her teammates - what an honor! And the wonderful things her coach said about her had me a little teary. :)

Day 319, Project 365
Spectacular fall, November day - can all November days be like this, please?
Started the day off with some senior photos and the hubby and I then finished hanging the rest of the Christmas lights. Ended the day outside by finishing up some yard work and loved to see that there are STILL flowers blooming six-seven months later!

Day 314, Project 365
I saw in one of the photography groups I follow something about a water being the project/idea/inspiration for the week. So I attempted slowing the shutter speed way down and catching water dripping from the faucet. Zzzzz.....but it was fun attempting. ;)

Day 310, Project 365
The nursing home at which I work has been purchasing and receiving as donations realistic dolls as therapy dolls. These babies look, feel and smell just like a real newborn - it's absolutely amazing! When the dolls are brought in, the women who work there all go gaga (no pun intended!) over these babies; cooing, holding gently,doing the baby sway. So, if a bunch of women of sound mind go that nuts over these dolls, you can only imagine how our residents react. These dolls are so calming and soothing to our residents, giving them peace that might be hard to find otherwise.
Today, as I sat at my desk I heard a lot of commotion and the familiar sounds of women going crazy over little babies. I knew then that more babies had come to live there and hadn't made it past the front door having been stopped to be peered at, cuddled, snuggled and enjoy.
I couldn't resist snapping a photo of the one little one who we all agreed looks like she'd grow up to be awfully sassy. ;)
