I think my mother-in-law (cheers, Wendy!) will smile to see this little guy from her backyard included in my 365.

Day 165 of 365.
My niece, a superstar in the making. All you have to do is point a camera at her and her face changes.

Day 113 of 365.
I'm taking a short break from the Hateful Paper of Doom (or HPod if you prefer) to post a photo before I forget. I can't get behind, here. Anyway, one more intensive weekend of sucky, hateful schoolwork and then I'm done. DONE. (At least until fall). I'm trying to hang on to that.

Day 106 of 365. Not much going on today, and not much time for photography; so here's a cute candid snapshot. ¶ 5:21 PM 2 Comments
Day 87 of 365.
We decided to go out to the Kanawha State Forest for our walk with the dog today - it was very warm, and the dog doesn't sweat, you know, so he got super-excited to jump into Davis Creek and splash around. It was one of the happiest things I've ever seen. How he made us laugh!
I'd like to also note that for the first time in my life, I successfully photographed a butterfly:

A bonus photo - I chose the icicles for today's official photo because it's appropriate - the weather's nasty, there's another winter storm advisory, and its slushy, slush everywhere slush. Today I found something I wrote on February 11th of last year, when it was 68 degrees. Jebus. It seems like this winter will never end - I know that's not true, but that's the feeling of today.
So, this photo: not butterfly wings, but it reminded me of them. And even though today was nasty, it had its gifts: a really good yoga class, and a happy invitation that made me verklempt. My sister-in-law is getting married in October, and she emailed to ask if I would be willing to be a bridesmaid, since her sister is the maid-of-honor and she thought it would be cool if "her other sister was up there too". This means more to me than I can even say - Dr. Nick's family is straight up awesome, and while sometimes I've felt like the orphan with her nose pressed up against the glass looking in, today I'm inside and warm and cozy.
