The Windowsill

I'm in the home stretch of a 365 project, and I'm not going to lie to you ... This month has been the absolute hardest. It seems that whenever I'm not working, it's dark or raining. The first week of January, I decided to do a series of photos of my windowsill at work. Mostly because it was the only place that seemed sunny and full of life.

My paper lantern, reflected in the window:

A sprig of purple heart in a glass of water:

Ok, this is technically not the windowsill, but its shadow on the wall:

The purple heart stems, sprouting roots:

One of my tiny succulents in the late afternoon sun:

So what's the point of this series, aside from supplying photos for my 365 project? The point is that inspiration won't always hit you in the face. Sometimes you have to go looking for it, and sometimes you have to make do with what you have.

Speaking of inspiration, I fully expect to be inspired by my friend Beth's new personal blog, My Point of View, about food, photography, life, and work. Check it out, won't you?

The 1st & the last shots are my absolute favorites, it's a great subject! I totally agree that when you have 50 other things to do sometimes and days are dark, inspiration is an effort. I think what matters is that you tried. I am also glad we're doing the 52 Saturdays together because that way we can inspire each other :)

Thanks, everyone. Just an update, my 365 project is now complete and I survived! That means I'll have time for more frequent blog updates now. ;-)
