I have really been itching to do a 365 project and decided to participate in projectlife365 this year [you can go to projectlife365.com to learn more].  There is a theme everyday that is open to your own interpretation and there are no restrictions other than the image must be new and fresh and not one from the archives.  You can choose to use whatever camera you want, however, to simplify things all of my images for this project will be taken and edited exclusively with my iphone.  Feel free to check back every Monday morning to see my week in photos.  OR.....follow me on instagram!  My user name is @jenprouty  So here is my first week, there is a key to images at the end of this post

1. #resolution. to find balance and spend more quality time with those I love the most. These candles were lit as a memorial to the 26 people who lost their lives in the horrible sandy hook tragedy.
 
2. #me_today. grumpy. we were hit hard with influenza over the holiday break which made us quite grumpy...to say the least.

3. #still_life. pomegranate. my all time favorite fruit!!  they should be illegal they are so good!  AND they are super good for you and have some anti-viral properties so especially good for you during cold and flu season.

4. #graceful. birds. 1000's of them. flying. i am OBSESSED with these birds and their flight patterns.

5. #view. this was a time lapse image of falling snow photographed with the slowshutter speed app.

6. #optimistic. my son is asthmatic and when he gets a cold (or even worse the FLU) he gets really sick.  :-( this was a snapshot of all of my son's meds when he was sick. funny the hashtag was optomism, i guess the optimism kicks in when i pray for a day that he grows out of his asthma...
