Day 26: Z is for Zipper. Hard to really see in this photo but there is a zipper there....maybe I should have done something a little more risque but I am at the end of the challenge and am pretty much fed up. Gone are the says of doing a self portrait or even a photo a day for a year. Somewhere a long the way I seem to have lost my patience.

I have enjoyed this challenge and being able to read fellow participants blogs! ;)

Day 25: Y is for Yellow. I was at a loss at what to shoot for a representation of the letter Y, then a friend suggested Yellow. This was a great suggestion as I happen to have a yellow chair and when it was time to shoot it just happened to be bathed in sunlight!

Day 24: X is for...well "X". The letter X is insanely difficult to find something to photograph believe it or not. Thought this would be the easiest. Not one of my favourite shots by any stretch.

Day 23: W is for White. I haven't taken a high key B&W photo in a long time. Sorry I have been so tardy with posting but things have been busy and I have been lacking in a little bit of motivation. Not just in photography but in everything - as an example my condo needs some serious cleaning!

Some pretty cool dudes!

Day 22: V is for Violin. I took many, many years of private classical violin instruction but decided when I was in first year university (about 20 [?] years ago) that I wanted to stop playing. Unfortunately, I haven’t picked it up seriously since then…maybe one of these days. I would like to play in a chamber ensemble again.

Day 17: Q is for Question. The question in this case would be: When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last? :)

Sorry so late...the past couple of days have been hectic!

How much is that doggy in the window?

Too expensive for my tastes.....

Day 14: N is for Night. I took this last night from one of my bedroom windows. I like the reflection on the pavement from the lights – it has been raining and cold and even snowing here. I am really in need of summer.

Day 15: O is for Orange. Which is what the colour of the moon was tonight. I had something else entirely different for this image but when I saw the moon I knew I had to take a pic of it. Unfortunately my settings weren’t exactly set correctly and well, it was cold outside so I didn’t spend the time to get a proper balance between the city lights and the moon. In fact this is a combo of two shots that I took - one where the moon turned out and one where I was satisfied with the city lights. This is something that I definitely need to work on – but the moon is what the focus is on here anyway.

Day 13: M is for Mouth. I pulled another image from my archives for this image and am posting it late as well. Things have been crazy around here as I am in lock-down mode in preparation for my exam tomorrow morning. But since I was up early this morning I would take advantage and get my image posted!

I can't believe that I had to go out and purchase a bottle of Ketchup for today's image!! What a travesty not having ketchup in my fridge - what was I thinking??

Day 8: H is for Hat. I decided that I would take a self portrait for Day 8, since I had an inch to take one. I love hat and have quite collection, but don’t wear them often enough I think!

Day 6: F is for Feet. I know this is a day late, but I had a Huge essay due this morning and ended up pulling an all-nighter to get it completed. So I did take a little break and manage to take a pic of my feet. I had kinda wished I could have curled up in the sun beam like a cat and taken a nap.

Day 4 is D. Since the image that I did take for today was really lame I am posting an old image that I took a couple of years ago. I thought it was appropriate that I posted an image of a dog since yesterday was a cat. I remember that it was around this time of year and I was out at a friend's place making maple syrup!

Day 3 is "C". Taking a photo to represent this letter was a no-brainer for me since I have been doing nothing lately but either working on school or taking care of my cats.

This image is of my dear cat Diva who has been sick lately. She is staring out the window at birds that are flying by.

Day 2: So I have had a little bit of difficulty trying to come up with something to represent the letter "B" and since I am stuck at home writing essays today and tending to a sick cat this is what I came up with.

As I was climbing many flights of stairs to get to class today this "A" caught my eye! Bam! That is how creativity happens ladies and gentlemen...now can I keep it up for the whole month?? Time will tell...I am already not sure what to do for the letter "B"
