Perseverance: 365 day 60

"Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go" -William Feather
** Day 60 (2 months) and I'm still going strong so I thought this would be the perfect picture to capture the 'never give up' attitude I have towards this project. Even in the dead of winter these leaves have decided to hang on and persevere!!

Gray Gloomy Winter: 365 day 59

"I like these cold, gray winter days. Days like these let you savor a bad mood" ~Bill Watterson
Living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, we get a lot of these days, no wonder so many people up here suffer from seasonal affective disorder. I decided to go out and capture the grayness...

Ta Dah!! 365 day 53

I took these just before she went skiing with one of her good friends...
"I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun" -Katharine Hepburn
Ta Dah!!

She wanted to practice different expressions... this was anger. Not all that convincing, is it?
Fake Anger = Fanger
*BTW, I really am having a hard time posting just one picture and this project is quickly becoming just about Naomi. I need to get out of my comfort 'Naomi' zone and try other things.
