30 days of gratitude in images; part 1


Alums of Ashley Spaulding's photography class were challenged to pick up our cameras every day for 30 days in November to explore and catalog images that represent our gratitude. It was easy for me to name things but it seemed much harder to create and capture images that spoke those truths. But I dove in. Every worthwhile adventure begins with a little fear and vulnerability, right?

Day 1 ~ thankful for autumn splendor right outside my front door
 


Day 2 ~  thankful for a sensational World Series win for our hometown team!



















 
Day 3 ~ thankful for traditions (good-bye, Mr. Bonesy, til next year!)
Day 4 ~ thankful that we can leave our house and be at my parents' house in three minutes
Day 5 ~ thankful for devices that allow me to take showers in peace ;)
Day 6 ~ thankful that my children drift off to sleep in a warm house in a safe community with parents (and a God) who love them unconditionally
Day 7 ~ thankful that our kids are old enough to play games like UNO
Day 8 ~ thankful for birthday wishes
Day 9 ~ thankful for my husband's playful disposition
Day 10 ~ thankful that he is not 'too old' to climb trees
Day 11 ~ thankful for veterans because "in valor, there is hope." -Cornelius Tacitus
Day 12 ~ thankful that we have access to food that nourishes and comforts
 
Day 13 ~ thankful for our dear pediatrician who walked through our backyards with his black bag to make a house call today
 
Check back later to see the next batch of images. Thank you for visiting!
