Project 366: Week 44

I�m always late with this project and this week is no exception. But here I am. This week I�ve decided to pluck out images from an assortment of files; images that have been taken in the past three weeks that have been overlooked or forgotten. Leftovers. Because as the year comes to an end, I�d like to sort, edit and clean up. I imagine I�ll be doing this again in the next few weeks.

The only way to get to where you want to be is to keep moving forward.
Choose your battles wisely.
Sometimes the best response is no response at all.

Wishing you all a beautiful day!

Project 366: Week 43

November snuck up on us. That�s just how it goes. 2016 seems to be wrapping up very quickly and it's the same for this project. When I first started it, I was iffy about whether I�d make it past the first couple of months. Now I�m at the tail�s end, so there�s no turning back. Here�s another round of photos.

Busy, busy, busy. That�s what it�s like for me lately. And because I�m pressed for time, I�m going to continue with last week�s theme of shots taken within ten minutes of my home. They�re not the greatest photos, nor did I put much effort into them, but the project must go on!

Project 366: Week 41

Technically, I should be putting up this post every Friday, but I get so busy with other things that I can�t be bothered. Eventually I get to it and here I am.

Project 366: Week 39

Week 39 has come and gone, blogging friends. For this week�s set of photos, I decided to go through different folders of images I�ve taken in the past month and pluck out random shots. Some are from new locations and some are from places I�ve shared before. They aren�t particularly earth shattering but they do portray where my eyes wander when I�m out and about. I hope you enjoy taking this stroll with me!
