roses, rain, and teenage angst

I gave myself a challenge. I’d like to take a picture a day using my big camera (not my iPhone). I’ve kinda fallen out of love with photography and I’d like to see if I can reignite the passion I once had for it. I’m going to share my weekly images in the hopes that I’ll stick with it. I have a tendency to start and stop things.. (enter coughing sound). I have high hopes, I’m all in and then I have an off day, or I’m PMS’d or, or, or… enter any number of excuses. So here are the images I took this week. A couple of them were just snapshots of nothing in an attempt to stick with it. It’s harder than it seems. If you’re reading this and you want to try to challenge yourself to do it with me, I would love it. Even if all you have is your phone, try it. Let me know how it’s going. (Description of each image below)

New Year’s Day. We took a hike up Mulhulland Ridge. It really is pretty in Northern California.

Roses from Olivier.

The last remaining bits of Christmas. I’ll leave this here until it dies.

Our tree. I get a little sad every year when we have to take her down.

I moved my white chair into the corner where the tree used to be. It doesn’t really fit, space wise, but I like it here. I’ve been spending a lot of nights reading and writing here.

It rains a lot here in January. I absolutely love rainy days, it’s an excuse to stay inside. I usually feel guilty staying inside on a sunny day.

Harper has throughly entered the teenage years and wants less than zero to do with me, I’m very much looking forward to when this phase passes, please tell me it’s quick.

Here’s to finding joy (again) in the things I once loved.
