This is the Photojojo for 01-01-10, but I had scant internet service over the weekend, so I’m just posting it now.
Nancy’s Feliz 2010 from the NYEve dinner they attended is paired up with my shot from along Guide Meridian Road between Lynden WA and the Aldergrove Canadian border crossing.
We went up to White Spot for a New Year’s Day lunch with my aunt and uncle. The weather was dreary, but I put on my Diana lens and got some dreamy dreary shots.
Tonight is New Year’s Eve. Tomorrow will be a new decade – full of new hope for better times. One of the best things I did while off from working this year was walk more. Scamperin’ Nancy was helping me get in shape by walking every nearly every morning. And these were not easy walks. Some of them were up steep hills and by the time I got back to work in October, I was starting to be able to go up the hills without feeling like I was going to pass out.
Today’s photojojo is a picture of the fogged in hills in Hayfork (Nancy) paired with some colorful walking shoes taken at Sea-Tac airport during my layover between Seattle and Bellingham.
On a personal note, I did 311 blog posts this year, which falls short of my goal of one per day. However, it is far better than my 2008 tally of 147 posts.
Happy New Year everyone. Here’s to a prosperous new year for us all, spiritually, emotionally and financially.
Today’s photojojo is seemingly one photo, but it didn’t start that way. Nancy’s peace sign with some melting snow was collaged with my corn flakes bowl and because of the dark background in the cereal bowl photo, it looks like the peace sign was right there above it all along.
Ironically, I was kicking mysel for having cropped my shot very short on top – right at the top of the bowl. When I put the image with Nancy’s, it extended that black area, and automatically created a better, more balanced image.
What a perfect merge!
Too tired to write captions/explanations about this. Nancy’s nozzles and Laura’s Bloomie mannequins.
