Beautiful Things

On Lamp Post we were discussing the use of beautiful, quality things in our homes vs. just "settling" for what is practical and economical. Well, this is one of our "splurges"; Keith and I bought it in Cambridge in 1988 on our only overseas trip. It sits on my mantel with all of my "favorite things." I love the fine detail; just looking at it takes me back to England. And a mini-vacation-of-the-mind is an awfully nice break in the middle of homeschooling four children all day....

Dash was trying to nap while I gave J his spelling words; I sneaked over and got this photo while he was still drowsy....

I also have a couple of extra "beautiful things" on my Extras. Check it out!

About Project 365

Project 365 started in January of 2007 with about fifteen online friends from the United States and beyond who resolved to post "A Photo A Day." The goal was to learn about photography through daily practice and looking at and commenting upon each others' work.

Several devoted photographers kept going in January of 2008 while most of us resorted to less-rigorous schedules of posting our photographs. But in January of 2009, about ten (perhaps more!) of us were back in the saddle, ready to shoot, post, and learn. Most of their blog sites are listed further down the sidebar if you'd like to view their work.

I took another break for 2010 but am back for 365 for 2011 with a new Facebook group of friends, many of whom you'll find in the sidebar.

I am using a simple point-and-shoot camera, an Olympus Stylus 740. Many of my fellow photographers are using far better cameras, so the quality of my photographs will in no way equal theirs. However, I still hope to "learn to see" better this year as I jump back into Project 365.
