I had wanted to do something for the Year of the Rabbit (I was born the Year of the Rat) and wasn't sure what to do. I really love this mask so came up with this series.

Here is what we can expect in the Year of the Rabbit: A placid year, very much welcomed and needed after the ferocious year of the Tiger. We should go off to some quiet spot to lick our wounds and get some rest after all the battles of the previous year.

Good taste and refinement will shine on everything and people will acknowledge that persuasion is better than force. A congenial time in which diplomacy, international relations and politics will be given a front seat again. We will act with discretion and make reasonable concessions without too much difficulty.

In the case of this image, it didn't seem to "flow" with the other images. I still love it though.

I know I am totally cheating on my challenge, as mentioned before, but school seems to be kicking my butt this semester - and it has only just started!

I will get to posting the photos from the show soon. I am sort of cheating with this 365 challenge, but I am a bit short on time at the moment with school, I thought I would post an oldie but a goodie.

Enjoy!

These are my favourite glasses and this morning I discovered them broken. I believe that the scenario was that they were on my bedside table and well the cat knocked them onto the floor. So, since he weighs 20 pounds, I also believe that when he jump down onto the floor he might have inadvertently broken them.

I will miss these glasses....

I can't say that I am the least bit impressed with my creativity on the photography front or on the school work front. So here is a fine example of my creativity at work! You are lucky you don't have to witness me pulling my hair out trying to complete an epic essay due on Friday...I shall leave it at that. Carry on, nothing to see here.

I am thinking that instead of having a formal "picture a day" challenge like I attempted last year - and didn't complete - this year I am going to just let it happen. I am going to allow my creativity to talk to me instead of forcing myself to be creative. Could this be a resolution? Perhaps. The only thing I wish for the new year is that things just keep continuing to get better. :)

So this is the beginning of 2011, a year of creativity!

Another attempt at tilt-shift....I can't seem to get the effect that I want - or rather I am not satisfied with my attempts.

Today was a tad bit chilly - quite windy and such....winter is coming!

I was so fortunate to be matched with the extremely talented MFayre for Week 11. Our theme was one that we both struggled to come up with an image - or at least I did! I wanted to take an image the portrayed the literal definition of the word "perpendicular" - as in the geometry definition. I love how MFayre's image and mine work so well together! Brilliant!

Henri Matisse just happens to be one of my favourite artists...so I thought this quote was appropriate.

"She tried on every body left but they'd been pretty well picked over & all that were left were a little worse for wear. She finally settled on one that was pretty good except for a scuff at the elbow where you almost couldn't see it anyway & as she walke

I have been working out a lot lately and I have to say I am pretty impressed with the results. I am finally getting some stomach definition back!

I have had some people concerned that I have lost a lot of weight, but as you can see I am healthy....just smaller!
