Day 94


Yesterday was Easter Sunday. Time at church is always nice, as is time with family. It was a beautiful day, nice & sunny & warm. :) We woke up early to dye eggs & make our "resurrection rolls". Here, we put a marshmallow, cinnamon sugar, & butter into a crescent roll. The butter & cinnamon sugar represent the spices put on Jesus' body in the tomb, the roll represents Jesus' wrappings, & the marshmallow represents Jesus' body because after you cook the whole combination, the marshmallow is gone just like Jesus was! :) That's always a fun tradition we have at home. Then my mom cut flowers & we went to church to add onto the cross which the whole church decorates with flowers. Sunday school & the church service went very well. We went to eat at my grandmother's then headed back home so I could pack & head back to school. My photo-for-the-day is of pink dogwood blossoms against the pure, blue sky. I love dogwood blossoms but especially the pink ones & I think they look quite lovely against such a pretty blue. :)

day 93


Today is the 3rd day of April - the 93rd day of my project. I woke up earlier than I would like to for a Saturday & went with my family to help out with my church's kid's Easter egg hunt. It was held at a really pretty location in town & I was excited about taking pictures of the kids. I did enjoy it but I didn't chose one of the kid pictures as my photo-of-the-day. I love dogwood blossoms so I was excited to see a tree blooming because I have only seen a few blooming so far. I love the colors of this picture & the layout. I just love flower pictures. :)

Day 92


Today. Haha finally caught up. :) Well my home has two lovely cherry trees that bloom every year. They are huge & I was excited to take their pictures this year. Haha my chosen photo-of-the day though is not of these trees. The back yard hadn't been cut in a while so there were plenty of weeds. I like this picture because of the colors & details. I always love macro photography & this one is a fun one.

Day 91


April 1st, 2010. April Fool's Day! I'm not very much into cracking jokes...maybe because I'm not very good at coming up with the jokes myself. Anyways...I was able to go home after my two classes. It was so nice to come home...still nice to be here. My school takes Good Friday as a holiday so all of the students have classes off. After supper I walked around the neighborhood with my mom. It was a nice walk, great company & lovely weather. This picture is walking around one of the dead-end streets...it's not taken in black and white but It almost looks it. I love the lighting of this picture. Just beautiful. :)

Day 90


90 days! I can't believe that I've been at this project for this long...even longer now. March 31, 2010. A day I had nothing to do after classes...my tests & essays had been completed already earlier in the week. I went out to photograph some different cherry trees but I remembered something I had seen a while ago. Haha I know it may seem random, but some metal numbers on a telephone pole can look pretty cool. I love the colors & textures here...wood, metal, brown, pure blue. :) Awesome.

Day 89


Ah. What a beautiful day March 30th, 2010 was. After classes I went to a cherry tree by our cafeteria. I must've looked pretty odd standing out there with this big camera looking up into the tree...I had a friend come up behind me. He called my name & said he didn't know if it was me before I turned around or not but figured that since I was short & had a big camera it was me. Haha. I ended up not using a picture of a cherry tree because I took this one that was more unique. The sunlight was just beautiful & it was hitting this tree in such an interesting way I had to capture it! :)

Day 88


Monday March 29, 2010. Hmm...I can't remember much from that day. I do know that I must've run out of either day light or inspiration to end up with the picture that I did. I was trying to brainstorm what to photograph that I had available in my small dorm. I ended up arranging my rings in a circle on my computer with one in the middle - wah lah: lord of the rings! haha. I do love the Lord of the Rings movies so I thought this kinda fit that theme. Who knows. :)
