One of my New Years Resolutions

I probably should have added the word MANY to the title, as this truly is just one of MANY resolutions I have set for myself this year. For now though, I will focus on my resolution pertaining to my photography.

I have decided that this year I will post at least one new picture every day. Now of course, I will be amazed if I am actually successful at obtaining this goal. I am sure that there will be days that I am sick or events that I cannot predict will keep me from posting on occasion, but I will do my best to work around all obstacles to post every day. I would love to be able to say that I will post a new picture that I took that very day, but there will be some days that I will have to play catch up and post something in which I took the photos on another day, and never got around to doing anything with.

The photo topic I used today was inspired by http://dailyshoot.com/assignments/414 (this site was recommended to me by my good friend Vicki Clark). The topic is symbols or icons.

At first I though I would just skip this one and post something that I need to catch up on. I didn't think I would find anything in my house that would satisfy that description, and I am surely to goodness not getting out in this cold today! Then I looked over at the bowl of potpouri setting on the table next to me, and realized this would be easier than I thought.

The fleur de lis

Considering where I am from, it should come to no surpise that I would display the symbol of the Saints.

After I took this picture I looked up to see what time it was and saw that the clock that my sister in-law gave me for Christmas also displayed the fleur de lis!

I realized, after taking this picture, two things.  First off, that this picture actually contains 3 symbols: The fleur de lis, a clock as the symbol of time, and hearts throughout as a symbol of love. Second of all, I realized I had more time than I thought so I returned to my bowl of potpouri and came up with this picture.

I have to say, I think I got more enjoyment out of this topic than I thought I would . Can't wait to find out what the topic is for tomorrow!

Thanks Vicki!
