August Break - August Ending....

August 29 and 30

I was actually hoping that with the August Break with Susannah that I would get in the habit of posting at least a photo everyday. I still am wallowing in my old habits of continuously running behind. I think for my new year's resolution... I'll put at the top of my list:

1. Stay on top of things

Altough, there is a benefit of always running behind... it keeps me fit!

Sunday Creative word prompt - Illuminate

She closed her eyes for a brief second as she took in the fresh air. There it was - definately the feeling of autumn. "How could it be?" she asked herself. Summer has come and gone so quickly. A flash of sunshine peeked through the fluttering leaves above her. The sounds of laughter floated on the air as children played along the grassy hillside. She loved how the gentle breeze touched her face and brought the lingering scent of summer. Each step was taking her closer to her destination and she was ready to be there. She stepped off the curb and crossed the street towards the small cafe on the corner. As she entered, the bell above the door sounded her arrival. The cafe was surprisingly full for this time of day. She looked around for an empty table, thinking she would be lucky to find a spot. A smile crossed her face as she saw him sitting alone by the window. The sunlight through the glass illuminated his strong features.

Fresh from the garden, Heirloom tomatoes. They are the absolute expression of summer - fresh and sweet.

I've been on a road trip and am still on it. I actually thought today was the 1/2 way mark for the 365 project - my road trip. But I recounted and today is #186. So, I passed my milestone and didn't even realize it. It's been a fantastic trip so far, I have to say. I have learned so much about myself in these past 6 months. I have improved my photography skills (so much more to learn). I have met so many wonderful people in this world called Flickr. I have been inspired every day by all the talent out there in this world. Its been a remarkable trip this far.... can't wait to see what the next 6 months have to bring. I can never say thank you enough to my friend, Ingrid who started me on this trip.

I'm so intrigued by graffeti art. There is an abandoned building that I pass in the U District that is covered. I finally stopped yesterday to have a closer look.

180:365 (almost half way) - much like yesterday but better.
I've decided to push myself a bit. To think outside of the box for me. My sunday creative photo is going to include a little creative writing. I've never written before but for some reason I feel like trying. I'll see how it goes, test the waters. Maybe like the 365 improves photography perhaps it will be the same for writing.
