340/365-2 December Self Portrait – Giving

“Hugs, The Best Kind of Giving” This month’s self portrait suggested photographing our hands in a gesture of giving.  This was definitely not my favorite selfie, not because of the giving aspect; it is the hands part, so I had to find something/someone to hold as a distraction.  As I have looked back through the year’s photos, I realized that Harley has been the least photographed of our four-legged family members.  Today was her day.  And, she is always willing…

338/365-2 Christmas Past

“Dancing Memories” For good or for ill, I am not really a saver of stuff.  I have a very few tangible things that are precious to me and that I have saved over time; but for the most part, things are not my thing.   I don’t have a collection of Christmas ornaments that have been passed down and collected over the generations.  Growing up in a military family ornaments got lost and broken along the many moves.  When the…

337/365-2 Construction

“Construct A Scrapbook!” I have a student who is also a colleague teaching in another department as well as a friend.  As we were wrapping up the last week of classes this week before next week’s final exams, the level of stress among faculty and students alike was rising.  Everyone was trying to find something, anything to bring down both their anxiety levels and blood pressure.  My student/colleague/friend decided that taking up scrapbooking is what I needed to take my…

334/365-2 Give Thanks for the Holiday Season

“The Season” Today marks the start of Advent, the beginning of the new liturgical year.  Today is also the eve of World ADIS Day.  Tonight I was honored to play for a service that remembered those who have lost their lives to AIDS, celebrated the accomplishments made by researchers in finding ways to manage this disease, and gave thanks for all those who are living long and productive lives despite being HIV positive.

333/365-2 Thankful for an Early Start

“Home for an Early Start to the Holidays” Most of the day was spent traveling, but we did make it home in time to attend a holiday party at some friends’ home.  It was a nice early start to the Christmas season.  OK, maybe it isn’t really early for the rest of the world, but I am so far behind that it feels too early for Christmas to be in full swing.

332/365-2 Thanks for Traditions

Stand Back and Watch” For me there has been nothing traditional about Thanksgiving this year.  Because of my schedule and things that needed to be done here in Delaware, I have spent my first Thanksgiving away from home and away from the girls.  Weber and I were graciously invited to my aunt’s house for the holiday meal.  It was nice to be with them as we have not seen much of each other lately except under stressful conditions.  Still, it…

330/365-2 Thanks for a Colorful Scene

“Colorful Cold Sunset” I am making up here for Wednesday’s photo that eluded me.  The weather on Thanksgiving eve was just plain nasty.  Here is Lewes it was wet and cold and gray.  Fortunately we did not have any freezing precipitation, like was the case just a little bit north of us.  Nonetheless, the day was not pretty; there were definitely no colorful scenes to be photographed.  In my current lack of creativity I couldn’t think outside the box so…

331/365-2 Give Thanks for Family

“Him and His Coffee” When your day begins with a cup of coffee this big, you have to think hard about whether or not there is anything else for which to be thankful:-) I am thankful to wake up and share every morning with him and his coffee.
