Can you believe it?


I made it through an entire month of my 365!

Well... that month was to be expected since I used Picture Winter as my crutch
And for February, I'm using The Joy of Love as my crutch.

Crutches can be good things, especially in months like January and February
when things are cold and dark and brown
and there's not a lot to "inspire."

 I'm happy to have lots of human faces in this week's post.
 I think I take too many pictures of inanimate objects,
but you have to admit... inanimate objects don't move and they never complain about being photographed.
Right?

 29:  I love the sledding pics!  I have about a million more to share, but I'm saving them for next week's You capture.



30:  This is one of my favorite pictures.  I feel like it embodies everything I want to be this year... 
fearless, bold, daring...
Meeting everything life has for me with my arms wide open and a smile on my face.



31:  Pretty Delilah... there are lots more pictures of her to share too.



32: The beginning of The Joy of Love series.  This one is "what they do."



33:  Joy of Love "what they look like."  It was hard to get this pic as he wasn't very excited about being photographed, but I'm just glad that he was even mildly willing.



34:  I used archived photos for my joy of love pic on this day, so there went my crutch,
thus the fairly lame pic of  "something... anything... quick! before the light goes!"



35:  Maybe not my best picture of the day, but sometimes it's more about capturing the moment than it is about technical perfection.

I'm so proud of Kevin.  
This is him receiving "outstanding cadet of the semester" for his Junior ROTC class.
That's just one of the many awards he won last night.
The list was long!



(Yeah... I know...
I said that I don't like to repost pictures, but here I am doing it again.
I'm trying to get over my little made up rule, but it kind of gives me knots in my stomach.
Seriously... of all the things there are to stress about in the world, blogging isn't one of them,
so I need to get over my stupid hang-ups and get on with myself!)

You know I like seeing your favorites again and again. I "stalk" my favorites all the time, so I don't mind you "pushing" them on me. :D

The portraits are very evocative with the composition and contrast, even with that distracting light thingy in the background of your reluctant son's portrait. Really well done!

But #34 literally made my heart catch a little. Great... now you're causing me chest pains. ;) jk. It's simply marvelous. And just so you know, the photos that get that reaction out of me are always my favorites.
