Day 18: Drink

This was our view from drinks and appetizers tonight.  San Diego is gorgeous and I never want to leave.

And we were lucky enough to be sitting right under one of these heat lamps... AMAZING!

Day 17: Time

Here is my attempt to freeze time.  This street performer in San Diego was nuts.  I haven't quite figured out how he does all of this... but pretty impressive... yet very gross.

Day 16: Something New

Wet Willies in San Diego!  A frozen daiquiri bar?  Yes please!  Crazy place with amazing drinks.

Day 14: Heart

Valentine's Day marketing sure worked on this girl...

Day 13: Blue

Light Installation at the Bean! More to come in a later post...

Day 11: Makes You Happy

This man.

I mean, who do you know who does these things?  Ha, he keeps me on my toes.

Day 10: Self Portrait

Not going to lie... the self portrait didn't happen... but here are my two favorite photos of me right now.

Me with my cousin's baby, Hudson.

Peace signs in Cali...

Day 9: Front Door

The numbers inside our front door -

Adam and Megan through the door on other side of the train tracks (fun night with these two)!

Day 8: Sun

Day 7: Button

Day 6: Dinner

Day 5: 10:00am

February 5: 10:00am

This is a very typical weekend morning at 10:00am for me.  Bowl of cereal + photo editing on my Mac + rocking out to music.  Life is good.  

Day 4: A Stranger

February 4: A Stranger

Today's theme was a little intimidating a first... I didn't really feel like going up to a homeless guy on the street and asking him if I could take his photo.  Although, I'm sure it would have been a good one, it probably would have cost me at least my pocket change, haha.  I've been wanting to get to this mural since I found out it existed.  I love this shot, but I think the colors could be even better in the daylight so stay tuned for another visit.

And finally, a shot of a bunch of strangers!  Apparently we weren't the only ones going super bowl grocery shopping on Saturday night.  Procrastinators unite!

Day 3: Hands

February 3: Hands

Today, rather than going with the straightforward photography of my hands or a friends, I decided to shoot the "hands" on a clock - so what better than the Wrigley Building?  And then I ran into this hand-prominent statue of "Mr. Chicago" aka Irv Kupcinet.  The statue's plaque said - "Irv embodied the city he loved with all his energy and enthusiasm.  In his Chicago Sun-Times column and on his television shows, Kupcinet was honest, accurate and fair, and his commitment to charity was one we should all aspire to match." - Mayor Richard M Daley.  Pretty cool if you ask me.

Day 2: Words

February 2: Words

Today's theme is words, so I thought I would take photos of a couple signs around town... one catch, I only took part of the words in the signs.  Can you guess what all of the companies are below?  I think they are pretty easy, but can you get all of them?  Comment below with your guesses and I will give the answers out tomorrow.

Day 1: My View Today

February 1: My View Today

Today's photo was taken by my cell phone (lame, I know).  This is what my view looked like for the majority of today... and most everyday at the Alzheimer's Association.  Feel free to make fun of my interesting set up and the fact that I still use a paper calendar for some things... I refuse to go completely digital (sorry, techie husband).

February Photo Challenge

Spicing things up a little bit and taking a photo challenge for the month of February!  I am excited to see if I am able to stick to the list.  Believe it or not, after all my years of taking endless amounts of photographs, I have never even attempted a monthly photo a day challenge!  

I think this challenge will help me take photos of items I wouldn't normally take (i.e. inside your bathroom cabinet... not so sure how I feel about that one, ha) and I also see this forcing me to be more creative as I take shots of some very everyday items.  Follow along and feel free to critique!
