365: Day 39

Storm's a' brewin'! Enjoyed a snow day yesterday as Snowstorm Nemo entered New England. The governor recommended all cars stay off the road by noon, so it was a quiet, lonely, afternoon on the street as the snow flurries began.

 

365: Day 38

This was the only photo I took on Thursday. Made a quick little trip to the walk-in clinic after 6 miserable days of uncontrollable coughing. Turns out I had the flu and Bronchitis. After getting some meds, I am finally on the road to recovery, which means... more exciting photos!

 

365: Day 37

I was so excited to check my mail the other day and find the Yooper phone stickers I ordered had come in the mail! Yooper Shirts sells these fun little Upper Michigan stickers to put on your iPhone button.

365: Day 36

A yummy Vitamin C treat! I was in need of jazzing up my snacks after being stuck in the house for a few days with this nasty cold. These are chocolate dipped orange slices sprinkled with sea salt. The chocolate sauce is a recipe I got from a friend (raw cacao powder, local maple syrup, and coconut oil), so it's healthy too!

 

365: Day 35

I call this "Common Cold Still Life". I apologize for the lack of quality and creativity. This cold is kickin' my booty and not leaving much energy for photography time.

 

365: Day 34

I attended the Greek Awards on campus today as the co-advisor of Delta Xi Phi. I am so incredibly proud of these amazing women. Way to go DXP!

 

365: Day 33

Great night out with friends for Indian food in Dover to celebrate Julia's birthday.

 

365: Day 32

There was a big fire in downtown Portsmouth on Friday night. We noticed all the lights and sirens while we were out for a girls dinner. We came out of the restaurant to see the streets lined with fire trucks from all over.

 

365: Day 31

View from our table in the food court at lunch the other day. The flags represent the countries our current UNH students are from.

 

365: Day 30

Picking out which necklace to wear to work.

 

365: Day 29

On Tuesday night I attended a reception at the UNH president's house. The reception was for our pre-MLK Commemorative Address.

 

365: Day 28

My money tree. I am hoping it will bring me good luck this year!

 

365: Day 27

On Sunday I took part in the UNH MLK Spiritual Celebration. People in the congregation wrote down one small way that they would spread love in the next year on paper hearts. They each brought up the hearts to the front of the church.

 

365: Day 26

This past weekend I went to the UNH gymnastics meet and watched the Wildcats kick some booty!

 

365: Day 25

There can be great beauty in ordinary items. Any ideas what this is?

 

365: Day 24

I started my graduate classes for this semester. This is good ole' Morrill Hall, where I will be spending a lot of evening hours taking education courses this semester.

I did a retro take for this photo.

 

365: Day 23

My newest painting project. Just need to frame them up with tree branches to finish them off.

365: Day 22

Mixing up some paint to get the perfect color for my new project. 

365: Day 21

A little fun with celery tonight.

365: Day 20

A lone leaf photographed during the "golden hour" 

and a fun new iPhone editing app called Wood Camera.

365: Day 19

Amazing winter sunset after my evening walk.

365: Day 18

"The Lunch Bunch", as we call ourselves, ordered Thai lunch as a celebration of finishing reading all of our Early Action applications. We walked downtown to pick it up on this freezing cold day!

365: Day 17

Today was my favorite kind of winter day. When all the snow is still stuck to the tree branches from the storm the day before. Everything looked amazing and I wanted to pull over about eight times on the way to work just to take pictures of the trees bowed over the road. But... I thought I probably shouldn't pull over for pictures or I never would have even made it into work. So, instead I parked in one of the farther lots and leisurely strolled my way to the office while taking pictures on the way!

365: Day 16

Today was a gorgeous, snowy day. The kind of snow that sticks to all the trees and makes you feel like you are walking in a snow globe. My friend Chelsea and I took advantage of the beauty by walking the Dover trails again today.

365: Day 15

I love the fact that when I leave work now, there is a little glimpse of the sun still! This is a view of Thompson Hall at twilight as I left campus for the day.
