194/365-2 Beautiful Light

"Airport Fountain"

I am way out of sorts as a result of our trip to San Diego.  I am still catching up on photos and have taken them out of order.  It feels strange to be behind, but that is the way of it.  We have had quite the adventure over the past two days trying to get home.  Though we are tired, it was all good.  More on that later.

This photo is for the prompt from last Sunday.  Since we have spent much of the last two days in various airports,  there was not much to photograph except frustrated, tired, and a few angry people.  We did see this cool fountain in the Phoenix airport.  The light was really fascinating, though this picture doesn't really do it justice.

I know that I am babbling here.  I think I'll go to bed, in my own bed,  and try again tomorrow.

193/365-2 Centered

"Sacred Center"

I have walked by this plant, whose name I do not know, several time a day for nearly a week.  To me, there is something beautifully fascinating about the sacred spiral that is the blueprint that creates the layers of petals.   I have also come to realize that I have a love of natural monochromatic images.  I love the gradient green tones in this.  The spiral in combination with the greens, to me, make this image cry out with a sense of abundant life.

Tonight is our last night in San Diego.  The memories made and shared here with friends both old and new surpass words.  I will try, however, when I get home to share the fabulous experience that I have had this past week here in San Diego.

I am still trying to play catch-up with my daily photos and blog posts.  This is actually Saturday July 12th's photo.  

192/365-2 Gone Fishing

"Pacific Sunset"

I am missing my photography time!  I think I now know what an addict going through withdrawal must feel like.  I am finding myself very uncomfortable with the fact that I have no time to give to taking pictures.  We did get to the beach for just a few minutes tonight right at sunset.  I  am sure there is someone fishing out there somewhere:-)

191/365-2 On A Windowsill

"Have A Coke"

This was taken a few days ago.  I love this bottle of Coke with my name on it.  It was given to me by one of my friends at the NOAH conference.  It is so hard to find things with Kris spelled with a "K" rather than "Ch".  I wonder what prompted Coke to do this.

Weber and I celebrated our fourth anniversary today.  We had a fun day but unfortunately it was a day that resulted in no photos of the two of us.  I'l have to work on that this weekend.

190/365-2 Left Behind

"Left Too Soon"

This is a grave of a young girl who obviously left behind many loved ones.  This photo was taken in a cemetery in San Diego's Old Town.

189/365-2 On the Ground

"Feeling Like Chicken Little"

This was our first image of the hotel as we arrived in San Diego Tuesday morning.

188/365-2 Macro Monday - To the Point

"Point of Reflection"

'Write to the Point"

I am still a believer in handwritten everything - journals, cards and letters, lists and agendas.  Confession time: I am terrible about putting things on the calendar on my phone, just ask Weber!  In my antiquated style, I also love fountain pens.  They do require more care and attention to use, but they feel oh so good gliding across the paper.

I had a hard time choosing which photo to be "the one" today.  Unfortunately, this is not because I had two outstanding choices, but rather I was not completely satisfied with either.  There are aspects of both that I both like very much and dislike.  Usually I can have a discussion with myself and ultimately decide on a photo for the day.  That was not the case today.

I think I just have too much on my mind tonight to make anymore decisions: we are leaving tomorrow morning on a 6:15am flight to San Diego.  I tried to pack lightly and efficiently; however, I'm not sure that I was successful on either count!  Oh well, I think I have all my clothing bases, and body parts, covered.  I am more concerned that my camera bag is packed completely than I am my clothing.  Now that I think about it, I may have lied above; I need to go pack another bra or there may be parts left uncovered; then I need to go to bed.  If I stay up much later, going to bed is going to be pointless.  Maybe that should have been the focus for today's shot!
