All Done!

Didn't I say my Project was only 157 days?!?! silly me..... I must have counted the days wrong!


With that said I am done with this project. I know... I didn't even make it half way, but I sure did learn a lot along the way:

1. I don't need my camera to appreciate the beauty all around me.

2. I still capture moments every day (just not always with my camera).

3. I like not having to worry about the next creative thing to capture.

4. I still don't 'get' my camera.

5. I still LOVE and am thrilled when I capture a beautiful moment.

6. Taking a 'good' picture every day is a very tough thing to do.

7. I am so thankful that I have met some new friends from this project.

8. Amy - you inspire me every day - thank you for being you!

9. Jay - you are growing by leaps and bounds and I am so excited to see where you will go with this next.

10. Thanx for those others that enjoyed my Project 157.


Sincerely,
Joanne.

Day 157

Somewhere in time's own space

There must be some sweet pastured place

Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow

Some paradise where horses go,

For by the love that guides my pen

I know great horses live again.

Day 154

My last day in California. What a whirlwind of a wonderful experience and vacation I had. My dear friend Kellie has family here, and she flew out to join me, and also spend time with her amazing family.

Thank you again Kimberly & Dave for opening up your beautiful home to me. Kimberly, thank you also for picking me up and driving me around, you are truly amazing! Also thank you to Kellie's dad John for driving me to the airport for my long flight home. I love where you and Eva live, and I just LOVE your mountain... which happens to be my picture for today, Day 154:

Day 153

Culver City, California. Taping is over and done with. I got to walk around the city a bit afterwards, and quite enjoyed the sites...

What a fun day I had... I got to joke with Howie, opened a few cases, and be on a fun game show! Not sure when it will air yet, but I am sure that I probably embarrassed myself with my random ways! LOL!!! ...Hollywood won't be calling me back anytime soon, I'm sure of it! ;)

Day 152

A perfect Day? Throw in a few palm trees and a lot of California Sunshine.

Life is just too short not to be a "butthead". So laugh a little, love a lot, and have fun...
Remember to Smile Everyday, and pass a smile on... it's contagious!

CHEERS & SMILES to all!

Day 147

9/11 - I didn't take a picture on 9/11. But while in California a week later, I captured this amazing site, as we drove by Pepperdine University. I had my friend slow down, so I could capture this... and even though I didn't take it on 9/11.... it is my picture for 9/11:

Day 146

DEAL or NO DEAL???



The only picture I took this day, was of this cake that my co-workers surprised me with! (I of course, had to try a small piece). They also surprised me with enough money for me to get my makeover I so desperately needed for my big day in Hollywood!

Thanx again Sharon for putting this together. Your thoughtfulness, kindness and spirit are truly amazing!!! :)

Day 145

I have been taking my pictures... Just having a hard time keeping up. With that said, time to catch up.

Going back to where I left off... this picture was taken on Tuesday, September 9th. My friend Tina and I, took our kids to this fun playground at a local school. The Science Park combines play with learning. This gears display is at the base of one of the cool learning climbing structures...

Day 144

Met my good friend Amy for lunch today, in hopes of her helping me find a few more cute tops for LA. Well, my wonderful friend Amy gave me this lucky charm so I could have a little extra luck when I am out there... thank you Amy - you are the best!!! :)

Day 143

Chasing Sandpipers on the beach...

A cool looking restaurant I hope to sample one day, with an even cooler view... Sorry Tom - we are going to miss you!!!

Day 141

Went to our friends house for a last swim party of the summer.... Of course Jolie had to incorporate dress up into this party too...

Day 140

They say there are haunted grounds behind where I work, so I always hesitate when passing this tree... wondering just what this sign once said, and if I should be afraid, and turn back?!
