Catch the Moment 365 – Days 10-16

Each day in 2014, I am taking a photo. There is no telling what the photo will be or where the “inspiration” will come from. All photos are taken either with my Nikon D5100 or the iPhone (for those times on the go). Come back each Friday for a complete compilation of the past seven days and link to join / view others as part of the 365 projects!

This week:

Day 10/365: January 10, 2014
Aaron Watson at Billy Bob’s Texas (the World’s Largest Honky Tonk). So many good shows this month. This is the second Friday in a row…. looks like I’ll be there for at least four straight. Here’s to good ole Texas country!

Day 11/365: January 11, 2014
Went out to dinner with some work friends at La Hacienda Ranch. Good food, even better company and some entertainment! (I told him I needed a photo for the day. I’m not sure if he knew I was serious when I said I was going to post it on my site!) Such a good sport!

Day 12/365: January 12, 2014
Sundays are church days. On this day, Matthew 4.

Nikon D5100

Day 13/365: January 13, 2014
Went and saw Lone Survivor at the movies. This is a must see if you haven’t already. Bring a box of tissues. In the meantime, be sure to thank every service member you come across.

Day 14/365: January 14, 2014
Those Girl Scouts… sneaking in their cookie sales about two weeks after everyone starts their New Years resolutions. Good thing this girl doesn’t go for the weight loss resolution, I can enjoy these – my favorite!

iPhone. No filter / edit.

Day 15/365: January 15, 2014
Well, I needed a photo tonight. Yes, I still have my tree up. The theme (for ideas) in the Catch the Moment 365 group is “cold” this week… I’m in Texas so we’ll pretend with this snowflake ornament.

Day 16/365: January 16, 2014
I’ve seen way too much of my work keyboard this week. Way too much.

My Winter Wonderland (Part 1)

Christmas 2013 didn’t quite feel like Christmas until I started to see the snow but waking up in Vermont Christmas Day morning, oh I can’t even begin to express how nice it felt. My first sight out the window was breathtaking!

Christmas Day 2013

Granted, a few short days before I arrived, an ice storm ravaged the area (read more about it here). Although there was damage, it left some areas looking absolutely beautiful. So beautiful I’ve had to break this down into two posts. Here are some photos from my time at home. I hope you love them as much as I do. I was blessed to grow up in a beautiful place!

This is at my brother and sister-in-laws house. Hope they weren’t planning on hanging laundry!

Today I’m linking up with Communal Global, The Jenny Evolution, Photography Essentials for{Wordless Wednesday}.

Catch the Moment 365 – Days 3-9

25 Replies

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!

Day 4: January 4th, 2014
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!

Day 5: January 5th, 2014
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.

Day 6: January 6th, 2014
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!
Day 7: January 7th, 2014
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!
Day 8: January 8th, 2014
I am loving my new wallet. Green, I can’t get enough of this color.
Day 9: January 9th, 2014
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!
