This is the first full week of Catch the Moment 365. The past week has been hectic so this isn’t highlighting using my Nikon, it’s highlighting the iPhone. I’m a bit disappointed but provides a little extra push going forward and putting my photography skills to the test a little more using my DSLR. In the meantime, here’s a little glimpse into my world from the past seven days!
Day 3: January 3rd, 2014
William Clark Green opening for the Josh Abbott Band at Billy Bob’s Texas. Front row and center. Couldn’t get any closer. What a show!
Even though I came from an incredibly small town in Vermont, I have a friend that I grew up with about ten minutes away (we made our way to Texas at separate times). On Saturday, they had a birthday party for their little boy who turned one and had a bounce house on hand. Needless to say, the bounce house isn’t just for the kids, the adults found their way too. As Dustin would say, I only made it 7/8th of the way around but for being almost 30, I’m saying it counts! Here’s to being a kid at heart!
This is Earl (he looks like an Earl doesn’t he?). My mom gave him to me for Christmas. Seeing how I’m in Texas it’s appropriate. So awesome.
The one post where I decided to have a little fun with my Nikon DSLR. Too bad I didn’t clean off the bulb on the tree first. Yes, I still have my tree up!
Dinner with one of my closest friends. She is amazing and has followed her goals and become a deputy. Don’t mess with this Chiquita! Very proud of her and couldn’t ask for a more loyal friend!
I am loving my new wallet. Green, I can’t get enough of this color.
It’s been a little while since I’ve been back into the working out routine and I can feel it. The night before I ran. On the 9th, I went to yoga. Feels so good to get back into it but it was definitely noticeable to be out of it.
Come back next week to see what’s going on. I anticipate using my DSLR a lot more so I can’t wait to see what’s in store!
You’re going to have so many neat photos from this! Love the yoga frog. 🙂 I wish I would buckle down and finally commit to doing a project like this. I have so little confidence that I would find something to photograph every day, and manage it well enough, that was worth looking back on later. But in the meantime I’m probably missing out on lots of cool opportunities!

Thanks Skye! Well, you can always try to do a project like this and adjust it so you take three pictures a week as opposed to seven days. Somedays, I would almost forget and then try to get creative (ornament). It’s just capturing the small things in our lives.
Looks like you’ve had a fun 2014 so far! Here’s to more great days!

I know! I’ve been there a ton of times before that day and it just happened to be the day that he appeared to me. Wicked awesome!
Great pictures! I love Earl, he’s awesome! You totally just reminded me I got a new wallet that I need to change my stuff to as well!

Haha! Thank you! He’s pretty cute. My mom thought he’d be fitting seeing I’m in Texas and all. Yes – switching wallets is an adjustment.
I like your pictures, lots of different subjects to keep things interesting! Looking forward to see what else you have in store for all of us! 🙂

Thank you! Always random. You never know what’s going to pop up over here. I surprise even myself sometimes!
LOVE the Christmas Tree shot!

Thank you! I may have to try it again. Perhaps I can get out of my hoodie, haha!
Earl is so cute! I tried that whole picture in the ball picture when our tree was up, but I wasn’t happy with mine, it was okay and all but not what I was hoping for. Pretty wallet!!

Thanks! Mine was on a whim and I feel like I definitely could do better. This is part of what this project is all about – give it another shot maybe from a mirror or a different reflective object. You can do it!
Yes, Earl definitely fits! What a great nutcracker!
Thanks! He is pretty cute!
I just love that photo of you in the Christmas ornament! Thanks so much for joining us!

Thanks! I appreciate it! Absolutely loving this project!
Love the picture of the ornament, what a creative shot! I would still have my tree up as well if my husband weren’t around, ha!
