My wonderful husband had the day off of work today - I love having him home with Maddie and I. Here he is driving me through the Starbuck's drive-thru =)

I couldn't pick just one picture today - These flowers were just too pretty. Maddie and I saw them on our walk this morning. It looks like Spring has officially sprung in Sonoma.March 25th, 2009
Our kitty Sparky didn't want to miss out on the action, so he's decided that one of Maddie's bouncers is actually his. He actually fits pretty well.

This sculpture is near my house, but I've never bothered to look at it up close. Apparently it represents the Earth and the city of Petaluma. Each sphere has a different theme - The one on the bottom (which I cut off) is the Earth and the other represent rivers, grapes, agriculture, chickens, etc. Kind of interesting, but still pretty random...

Matt and I took Maddie on a 2-mile walk today, and we saw these sheep in a field near our house.

Here's a description I found online...
People will often say that their whole lives flashed before their eyes after they experienced a traumatic event. Perhaps it’s a bit morbid, but we think that sounds pretty incredible.
When Taylor McKnight started taking a photo a day on January 1st, 2004, he never imagined the project would not only serve as a way to remember a year, but also help him understand what was important to him in his life.
Whether it was his relationships, his career, or his fashion sense, recording a photo a day for a whole year left him with a rich visual history of his life. And it made him a better photographer to boot!
Now that he’s in the middle of doing it for a second time, we asked Taylor to write about it for us. Read on for our tutorial on how and why to create your own daily photographic history.
Why do it?
Taking a photo a day is a big undertaking with big payoffs. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider doing it:
- Imagine being able to look back at any day of your year and recall what you did, who you met, what you learned… (Often we find it hard to remember what we did just yesterday or even last night, let alone a whole year ago!)
- Your year-long photo album will be an amazing way to document your travels and accomplishments, your haircuts and relationships. Time moves surprisingly fast.
- Taking a photo a day will make you a better photographer. Using your camera every day will help you learn its limits. You will get better at composing your shots, you’ll start to care about lighting, and you’ll become more creative with your photography when you’re forced to come up with something new every single day.
