I don't think this reprieve is going to last long. I believe there is snow in the forecast and that's fine. I'm going to soak it up while I can. Here's my image for today...proof that it was above freezing. ;)
Enjoy yourself a Sunshine Day.

Oh Sunshiny Day
Today was relatively beautiful...for January in the midwest! This morning there was snow on my deck and by this afternoon it was all but gone. I love the sunshine. I love warm weather. Some of you may disagree with me on the concept of warm but I doubt you live in the midwest...today the highs were expected to reach 40 and for that I am/was thankful! ...and consider warm this time of the year. Especially when those winds aren't blowing.

Buddy Boy
Buddy was looking so cute I couldn't help myself- I had to snap a photo of him to share out on the blog today for my 365 project.
He really is the sweetest dog, albeit sometimes annoying with all his barking. He redeems himself quite quickly with just one look. He's got the sweetest face and eyes that just reach out into your heart. Our family wouldn't be complete without Buddy.

Eggsellent!
Becca requested eggsalad for dinner; I obliged. What can I say? Steve's out of town and I'm not about to get fancy for dinner. Plus, it's one of her favorites. :)

Red Robin and Tom George
Today Lela and I went to lunch with a good friend of mine, Tom. Tom and I had a few classes together and then he moved to Idaho. He was back for the holiday visiting family. I was happy to be able to get together with him one more time before he leaves to head back --tomorrow. The only thing missing was Lynette.
Lela had the camera out quite a bit herself during lunch. She's quite good with a point and shoot for a little one. Tom even teased her about already understanding the rule of thirds. She has an interest in photography and I think here in another year or so I am going to get out my old Canon Rebel and start teaching her the basics.
Anyway, here is a quick snapshot of Tom. I had to sneak out the p&s and shoot from the hip at first which was quite comical. Tom was nice enough to oblige (okay humor me) for this photo; so no hipshot here. I think he realized I was getting a shot whether he liked it or not for the 365...I mean, he had been forewarned. I stuck to it.
Thanks for a fun lunch, Tom. Hope to see you this summer if you make your way back.

Saying Goodbye
Today, the world is missing an exceptional man. I only knew this man through my father; they served in Vietnam together. Together, in my mind they're heroes.
This is what I remember about him: He is a man who served our country, was one of my father's closest friends, was kind, once had a dog so big it spread across the hood of his car, was ornery, had a sense of humor, valued friendship, loved a woman who was devoted to him, lived in NY and had a family. I'm sure there is much more to know about him. I always liked the way he signed his name, Mike'L. It was always a treat to spend time with him.
I didn't take this photograph but I can't imagine letting today on my blog pass by without honoring Michael Bashta. He left this world this morning at 4:30 am. He will be missed. He is loved. Rest in eternal peace, Mike'l.
This song makes me think of my dad and Mike. Sitting on the Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding.

Happy 2011 New Year!!
So, I'm starting over. My 365 for 2010 might be considered a dud to some but to me it was a start. Today I am making another go at it....a FRESH start for 2011! Hopefully I will avoid the pitfalls and learn from last year. We'll see. All I can do is try; so I'm going to do just that and hope for a full 365 photo journal this year. *crossing fingers*
I thought I would start the year off with a self-portrait. My 2011 New Year Resolution list is fairly short. I've condensed it. After thinking about the changes I want to make both personally and professionally I realized that I can pretty much sum up the list in 5 words: Believe and follow my dreams.
Happy New Year to you! May your year be filled with all sorts of laughter and may you be showered with blessings. Most of all, may you remember to follow your dreams.

New Backgrounds!
I have some new backdrops and I love them! Here's one of them...Lela modeled for me. She wasn't exactly thrilled about the prospect but she's a cutie anyway in my book.
