Day 1- I procrastinated, then wandered the house looking for interesting light. Eventually, the battery in my camera died. I took that as a sign that I’d shot enough (and that I shouldn’t procrastinate quite as much tomorrow.)

Jumping into another 365 starting tomorrow. I’ve been missing shooting daily lately!

My macro lens had been away on “vacation” at Nikon repair. I’m so happy to have it back!

You are such a happy little monkey, Grayden. Your giggle lights up our lives and we can’t get enough of the way that you are out to experience life for all it has to offer.
