Day 91/365 Tea time

I'm not a coffee drinker, I prefer tea. If you've been following my post, I really like TEAVANA teas. I don't get to sit and read much these days, but we do follow a couple magazines - OUTSIDE and BACKPACKER. Beautiful photos and lots of great tips for your next epic trip.

Day 90/365 Music

Sometimes, when I have an off day, all I want to do is edit photos and listen to music. Alone. Today is one of those days.

Day 89/365 Rest

One of my favorite rooms in the house is my bedroom. Not that I get a lot of time to spend in it, but the colors are relaxing and calm. My dog decided to remind me when I was taking a picture that part of being in my room is cuddling with her. She usually warms up my pillow as I'm getting ready for bed then at the last possible moment, leaves her comfort to tuck herself next to me....at least until the daddy kicks her out of bed.

Day 88/365 Scents

Candles, low-lighting and pleasant scents are very calming to me. How do they affect your mood?

Day 87/365 Clouds and sun

Today my kids' school was closed due to the temperature being below -20 degrees with the wind chill. If you look out the window, you would think it was a balmy 30+ day outside. The sun is deceiving. I love the puffy clouds that float around and to me, that is peaceful. I like watching clouds. SOOC. The sky really is THAT blue and bright today.

Day 86/365 New Theme - Serenity

I have to be honest, I haven't quite figured out what serenity means to me as far as pictures go. I decided on this sun flare and evergreens because it reminds me of nature and solitude of being in the woods. I love the outdoors (although not a fan of this sub-zero weather we've been experiencing). I took this a couple days ago one perhaps one of the brightest days we've had since winter began. These trees were all leaning, so I didn't adjust the crop on this to allow their natural state.

Day 85/365 Even on a pan

Crazy! I noticed this while I was cooking dinner in my skillet the other day. I am surprised that I was able to find a face for each day this week. I have a feeling next week will be hard, as the theme that was picked is "serenity".
