I am holding myself accountable as February begins to stay focused on ease. Even when things are hectic, life rushing all around, I can still try to keep to my head and my heart in an easy place.
It's a challenge but I'm up for it.
And how about you? What have you been focusing on this week?

My daughter (shot on left) and I (shot on right) were at it again. Shooting together for another duet.
How about you? Did you make heads or tails of anything this week? Do share your Best Shot today no matter what end was up.

Ever since the holiday season there has been a common theme around our home. Namely of the canine persuasion.
First the decision a furry friend. Immediately followed by the trail and error period which led to the contemplation that perhaps we're more cat people than dog people. I even sat in on a panel with the people behind the upcoming show on PBS called "Why We Love Cats and Dogs" where I actually asked for their help in the matter. They were very gracious. By the way, I cannot wait to see that show! A day or two later coincidentally began the dog sitting days. Believe me when I tell you if nothing else, dogs give you one more perfect subject for a 365 project. Then, today we topped it all off with an afternoon at the movies seeing Hotel for Dogs. Things are getting ridiculous, I know. By the way, it's a darling movie!
After all of this, we still don't have our family pet question answered (except of course that we know fish are cool) and and truth be told I'm OK with it not being decided just now. We're just going to sit with it. It's always fun when the puns come easy.
So, why the long drawn-out story then? No reason at all except to preface My Best Shot Monday offering today.
This shot was taken on the pup's last morning with us waiting for his true mommy (my mom-in-law) to come get him. I call it 'the final stretch'.
How about you? Share the story of your Best Shot.

Best Shot Monday, fun, musing, photography Sunday, January 4, 2009 at 12:15PM Superhero Andrea wrote post yesterday at Shutter Sisters challenging us to capture the weather in our images. I love the idea. Lucky for me, even here in Southern California, we've actually had some weather this winter.
This morning I woke to the cloud covered sun lighting up a million water drops that blanketed my backyard. I set my camera down on the patio right against the wet grass and shot photo after photo. The sparkle of magic and impossible hope left me enchanted.
As we being a New Year, it certainly seems like a great way to start. Have you found any magic from behind your lens of late?
