New Year
Looking west this morning towards the mountains...first sunrise of the new year. Looking forward to what life has in store.

New Year

I didn't get nearly enough sleep last night (or this morning) but it was worth it. We had a great New Year's Eve with family...games, laughing, drinks, and plenty of food. I do have to say...the girls RULE at Catch Phrase!! Sorry boys!

I was up early this morning so I could see Matthew and managed to catch a glimpse of the sunrise beginning to reflect on the mountains in the west. (I saw the shot and began making coffee - Dave confirmed that I needed to take the photo for the blog. He also suggested that I do a year of black and white. Not sure if I can do a full year - maybe I'll shot for a month or two.) I did check out the moon last night but didn't notice any hint of "blue." Nonetheless, the first moon of the new year was beautiful. Here's to a great new year!

The Final Day

WOW! I can't believe another year...another decade has come and passed. This "end of the year" reflection has been a little different for me, thanks in part to this blog. I've had the opportunity to look back on the photos I have taken and remember events that I had completely forgotten about - and probably wouldn't have remembered without the photo and blog post. They were the smaller events, the thoughts I had on a certain day, or the something special that caught my eye. I will admit I didn't get a photo everyday, but I am proud of what I did accomplish - 240 posts/photos. (Now that competetive side in me will having something to shoot for in 2010.)

Today's photo - my front door handle. As I began to think about what I wanted to make for my last photo I had a number of ideas, but all of a sudden this popped into my head.

My front door has been the beginning to a number of memories for 2009. It's the first thing that greets my family and friends as they come over for a holiday, family dinner, or a well deserved drink. It's also the last thing I lock up when I leave, seeing me off on a number of adventures around the world, to work, or even just down the street.

So today, I close the door on 2009 with fond memories and open it to 2010 with great excitement. And I look forward to another year of "everyday in a photo."
