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.

I have already donated to the Canadian Red Cross, but wanted to do something else. This crane does not represent anything in a monetary sense, but rather it is a symbol of support from the rest of the world.

Thank you to Apple and Sisters for the texture.

Just taking another essay writing break to wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day! Later this evening I shall raise my pint of Guinness to you! I normally don't wear green but luckily I got this t-shirt a couple of weeks ago at a Guinness promotion (as well as a free beer!).

I am entering into "that time" of the university semester when there are a million things to read and write and procrastination becomes a favourite, if not hated, past-time. I took a few moments to take a shot just to prove that I am alive and working - see the pencil!!?!! lol (prime example of procrastination)

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.

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....
