Day 33, 34, 35: Cold, Daughter, Bird

Day 33: 
Signed up for Transformation Nation Triad.  Stood in the cold for an hour and ten minutes.  Couldn't feel my toes.  The result, after sixteen weeks, should be well worth the near frostbite.



Day 34:
Younger Daughter


Day 35:
I think I've said this already... 
for me, this year is the
Year of the Bird.

Project 365: Day 31, Impending Storm

These photos were taken yesterday, 
as the impending storm made it's way towards us in North Carolina.  

The storm wreaked havoc across the Southeast.  Tornados in Georgia, flooding in our NC mountains.  Here in the Piedmont Triad we had lots of rain and very heavy winds.   We had a tornado watch (which means that conditions are right for a tornado, but one hasn't been spotted).  There were reports of trees down, and that's really what I was most afraid of.  We've got lots of trees in our yard.  But we were, thank God, just fine.  
For us, it was nothing more than water and wind.
These photos were taken about an hour before the rain began.  It was certainly windy... the clouds were racing across the sky and I finally went inside when a small branch was blown out of the tree and landed on the ground beside me.

All of these photos are SOOC.








This is the first day I've skipped my photo a day... I took nearly 70 photos yesterday, so I guess that's okay. I'm still going to count this as Day 31.  :)
