210/365 I climbed in a ditch to take this one.

I'm sure people think I'm some crazy as they see me climbing a round in a ditch by a parking lot with my point and shoot.

209/365 Tunnel

Probably not the safest project 365. I really didn't have much time for photo taking so I took this tonight while driving home from work.

I took a moment today to relax slip on my slippers, and put my feet up. Thanks
elizabethh for picking a group where I can lie down to take a picture!

207/365 Vines

I didn't have a whole lot of time to take too many pictures today. Josh's family is in town and I'm trying to balance being a tour guide and working both my jobs.

201/365 Walk to Work

I've been very lazy lately so I decided to walk to work. It's only a mile but it's straight up hill so usually I'm a big baby and drive...boooo. Okay so if this picture is not reason enough to walk to work I don't know what is. I had so many great photo opportunities along the way. I need to start walking more often.

200/365 bracelet

Yep...day 200. I've made it pretty far alright.

Josh just got home from his latest trip. He was in San Fransisco on one of the days and he picked me up this little bracelet in China Town. It was a nice little surprise.

199/365 City Lights

I stopped at the Maywood Overlook on the way home from work. Photos like this make me really want my new camera. There's so much you can do with a point and shoot.

198/365 It's coming....

Fall is my favorite season! I have to say fall in Portland isn't as great as fall in Minnesota. I really miss the harvest time, and it's also when the rain comes to Portland.

Just to let you all know I am feeling better today. I had a difficult weekend but I was able to get a lot figured out. I'm heading into this next week fresh and with a new hair cut!

I took pretty much this same picture of this same tree at the beginning of summer...it is fun to watch things change! I love the seasons.

192/365 City at dusk

I hate that the days are getting shorter....I'm working longer hours. These two things may cause me to get more practice with my night photography.

191/365 nap time

I worked a 7 hour shift this morning at my retail job and then went in to my favorite job to work on my classroom. I managed to sneak in a nap between the two jobs. I also had to try out the new red pillow that I bought yesterday. It's really squishy....

190/365 View from our hike

Josh and I went for a hike in forest park on the ridge trail today. The hike had a great view of the St. Johns Bridge. You can kind of see Mt. St. Helens in this shot too.

185/365 The last day of summer....

I know it’s not officially fall yet but to me this is the last day of summer. The days are getting shorter and cooler. The after school program starts on Wednesday along with new children, new co-teachers and a new curriculum. Pretty soon the rain will be back and my rain coat will be part of my daily apparel. I start working back at my retail job in a week (gag). Like any other season it’s a transition time…and it seems the older I get the harder transactions get.

Oh well at least fall is my favorite season!

P.S. I'm half way done! Man 6 months can fly by when you're having fun!
