About Me

My photo
I am usually typing on a computer most of the day, but today I am trying my hand at a new project: My 2011 365-Day Photo Journey. I gained a love for photography when I was required to take a fine arts class for college--I chose photography. The course required a lot of work--Professor Loehr saw to that--but it opened my eyes to a new world. It's been many years since I took that class and I don't know how much I actually remember, but following Laura Delagal's 365 Photo Journey and watching my niece's love for taking pictures has peeked my interested in photography again. Although I don't have a professional camera, I did receive a really nice Sony digital (point-and-shoot) camera from my sweetie for Christmas this year. Going through some difficult times in my life, I thought that undertaking my own 365-day photo journey might be a way to relieve a little stress and have some fun with my new toy. Through this journey I will capture some of life's joy and its pain, but I will also be able to refocus the lens of my life on the many wonderful things that God has created. Well, here goes. Wish me luck!

Day 113 - April 23, 2011


The nursing home where my mother currently reside houses many different animals.  They have birds, cats, dogs, rabbits, and even a pot-bellied pig--although I have not seen the pig yet.  The two parrots in the photo will even sing along with the director.  The day this photo was taken the one on the left sang Old McDonald, and another song, which escapes me at the moment.  I think that all of the numerous animals must have a positive effect on the residence.  I know that my mother stops by frequently to visit the small dogs--Angle and Abby.

  1. I bet that the animals are a positive influence! They just bring so much cheer, especially when not feeling too well.

  2. Yay...I'm so glad to hear this. Animals make such a difference in that kind of setting. So glad your mom gets to see them.
