4:8 Project - Praiseworthy

"He is like the light of morning at sunrise on a cloudless morning, like the brightness after rain that brings the grass from the earth." (2 Sam. 23:4)

Oh, God must be so beautiful!

This photo is part of my 4:8 Project, a project/contest in which I would like to honor one photo left in my comments with each new post. Every four weeks, I will choose a submitted photo to win an 8 x 10 print from my photos - winner's choice. To participate, check out the info about commenting/entering and leave me a comment with a link to a photo of your own!

NOTE: To this point, I still have only one comment with a photo, a beautiful, peaceful shot from Cheri for the word "Lovely." If you have a photo that fits any of the words in my original post, feel free to leave a permalink in a comment on any of my Project 4:8 posts. Just include with it the word your photo matches! Oh, and you can submit more than one! I'll be reviewing and announcing my first print winner on March 8, 2009.

Thirty-One - Spray Bright Evening Into Dark

Pete took me to the river tonight at sunset. Ten rushed minutes of cold shooting to catch one lovely moment with warm eternity. I love what I do.

Check out my One Word Project photo for today. And I have to share one very excited update: this shot made it onto the Shutter Sisters One Word site today!

Twenty-Eight - Glowing Vow

faded strands of gray
weep glow and color

This month, I am participating in a contest/project on Shutter Sisters called the one word project. My word for the month is promise, so many of my Project 365 images this month may follow that theme. You can see more from others who are participating here.

Note on my Project 365 photos: I have finally decided how I'm going to do this thing: I'm going to post my photo in the evening after I've had all day to shoot, instead of trying to cram my photo time into the morning in front of everything else. I have tried doing morning shooting and getting the new photo up by noon, but that is proving way too stressful. I've tried all-day shooting and putting the photo up the next day, but that just doesn't seem accurate. So here's my new attempt at making this work with my schedule, and getting the photos up on the right day!

Of course, this does mean that I shot twice today. You know, for this shot, I'm not really that sorry.

Fifteen - Red Around the Corner

Fourteen - Morning Magic

This morning's photo of the day has an interesting story. Pete called me from the driveway on his way out to work, reporting a sighting of dew-laden spider webs in the mist. I went out to capture those, and came back in with this image. A few minutes later, I looked out the back window and had to run out and grab this photo. Not five minutes after I came back in with that shot, the sun appeared, and I dashed back out front to capture this shot.

And then I turned around, and there was magic behind me, a million sparkles in our cedar tree, hidden in the shadows, sparkling in the sun.

For today's photo, I chose the shot I kept coming back to, the one that takes my breath away, that makes me feel alive. Enjoy the magic!
