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.

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!

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.

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"

I was paired with the lovely MaryElise for this week of the project. I think that we each interpreted "private" in a complimentary way.
The Divine Diptych Project is a collaboration between 35 photographers some of whom pair up every week and in each pair take a photo with the same theme. For more of the Divine Diptych Project go here.

My brain also hasn't been in "the game" either because of what is happening in Japan these past few days. Please donate to the Red Cross* if you can spare anything....the true devastation of what has happened in this country will not be visible for a long time I am afraid and they are going to need the support of the global community.

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.

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!

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....

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.

Originally uploaded by Geekgirly.
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!
