102/365 A Touch of Yellow

"Herbs"

I think today's prompt was intended to be a nod to spring with a touch of yellow coming from spring flowers.  None of our outdoor flowers are yellow and I used my indoor cut flowers for yesterday's prompt so I was kind of stuck today.  So here are some fresh herbs waiting to be minced and placed in the prep bowls.

Bonus Yellow Picture!

"A Pucker and a Smile"

Knowing that today's prompt was a touch of yellow, Weber brought these Lemonheads home for me.  I decided to have a little fun with them.

101/365 Overgrown

Sorry I forgot to post this yesterday!

"Flower Power"

Weber and Brooke went to Sam's Wednesday night while I was at choir.  They had what I thought was a short list, but Brooke seemed to add to the list on each aisle so they came home with quite a few items that they had not originally intended.  One of those items was a bouquet of flowers for me.  I love fresh flowers on the dining room table.  They don't have to be anything fancy, just colorful.  The bouquet was so big that all of the flowers did not fit into the vase we usually use for this purpose.  The auxiliary vase had to be called into service.

This was the only thing around here today that even comes close to being overgrown - unless you count the dog who is on a diet.  The dog's diet is one thing that necessitated the trip to Sam's.  He gets a can of green beans with his dinner every night.  Sam's sells them by the case.

100/365 One Hundred

"One Hundred Cents"

I remember when the girls were little and they celebrated the 100th day of school by taking one hundred items to school to share with their classmates.  One hundred pennies, paperclips, M&Ms, stickers, erasers, and so on.  When it came time for me to come up 100 somethings for my own project, I had to think hard.  

Today became a music theorist's idea for 100.

Yes, I know that the piano has 88 keys, not 100.  In equal temperament (modern tuning) the distance between two tones on the piano is measured in cents.  The octave consists of 1200 cents.  Each half step is 100 cents.  So here you have a half step on the piano keyboard.

It is hard to believe that I have taken and posted a photo every day for the first one hundred days of 2013. 100 photos in 100 days seemed like such a daunting task when I set out last summer to take one photo a day for one hundred days.  To my surprise, I did manage to accomplish that.  When I completed My Visual Cents  I did feel as sense of accomplishment.  I also felt a void in my daily routine when I no longer was committed to such an undertaking.

I discovered the Capture Your 365  website right before I had taken my last pictures over the summer.  During the fall I thought hard about whether or not I could really sustain such a commitment for an entire year.  Come January 1, 2013, I decided that I could do it.  For the past 100 days I have taken a picture based on the given prompt.  Hopefully I can keep it up for another 265!

99/365 Ears

"Ears Looking At You, Kid?

98/365 Pastel

"Los Pasteles"

Accomplishing today's prompt was a family affair.  I was whining about not having anything pastel to photograph.  I am definitely a bright colors kind of girl.  Weber, the sometimes Spanish teacher said, "Pastel means cake in Spanish."  Brooke, the pastry chef said, "I can make cake."  Me, the photographer said, "I can take pictures of cake."  So here you have it - los pasteles with pastel strawberry, blueberry and matcha icing.

96/365 Morning Light

"Morning Light"

Today was a great day, but very busy so there wasn't much time to give to a picture of morning light this morning.  This weather was beautiful though and I did drink a little coffee on the back patio.
