Today’s posting for the 72nd Photojojo is also No. 10 in the countdown to my 500th post on this art blog. Nancy is surrounded by lots of cold weather; I snapped this photo by accident in my car steering wheel the other day.
I’m just taking mine in order, matching up with Nancy’s as I get them from her. I should hit 500 this week. Maybe by New Year’s Eve.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am not fond of birds in art. I feel like it is an overused theme, and yet, that means I also know I need to confront it. So, I’m taking the opportunity to get photos of birds (real or not), buy books of birds and just explore them in general. Claire and I “visited” with them outside Starbucks the other day and I told her about how much I am afraid of Hitchcock’s The Birds.
My birds are pairs with Nancy’s photography of the ice up in Hayfork. It must really be cold up there.
Today is Boxing Day. Yesterday, I had the photos for the ‘jojo (#70!), but was too busy and then too tired to get it posted on it’s rightful day of 12/25/09. So, here it is a day late and a dollar short. I call it icy joy.
Tonight’s Photojojo #69 is presented on the eve of Christmas 2009. This tree is out the window of Nancy’s place in Hayfork. My photo of lamps and figurines was taken in Pier 1 Imports today while doing some last minute Christmas shopping.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I’m ready for 2010!
Today’s Photojojo #68 is a frosty leaf by Nancy up in Hayfork and a lone boot in the bushes near work by Laura.
