the 52 project: 52/52.

Hope you had a wonderful holiday! Happy New Year from our little family to yours!

The 52 project wraps up with the last photo of 2013! I'm delighted to have participated and am eager to join in 2014, taking inspiration from so many talented people around the globe. It seems that throughout the project participants were motivated to see the charm of life as we are living it and to appreciate the ordinary (even if I sometimes had to remind myself!). I think Jodi's idea of taking more candid photos is an ingenious goal, and I will strive to do the same in the coming year, capturing the texture of the everyday - the magic and the mundane.

Cheers to 2014!

One week to go! Reflecting on fifty-one photos taken thus far fills me with a vast gratitude for this life we are lucky to have. This snap was taken in our courtyard the day before we left for our ski trip to Sun Peaks. Clad in sock-mittens and a crooked sweater, Gracie perfects her moves, watching her shadow as she freestyles into the late day sun.

I have loved this fifty-two project so much - several talented and thoughtful individuals making a contribution to something so lovely... I hope we can keep the momentum going with Jodi at the helm as we approach 2014!

Perfectly imperfect gift wrap.

Holiday make. Dressed in her snowman hat, working hard on her festive polar bear. 

One gal's treasure, found in the park on the way home from art class. 

Holiday bake. Six batches of cookies for our neighbours and Gracie's little friends. 

Yum.

I can hardly believe we are on week 50 of 2013 when it seems like just yesterday I was sorting out a list of goals for the year. Everyone in our family is feeling a little burnt out / sleep deprived / over worked... We are ready to embrace the spirit of the season and spend more time celebrating, less time working!

This snap was taken earlier this week on a rare, snowy Vancouver morning. Here for a day, the snow had melted by morning, but we had some fun while it lasted!

After missing two consecutive weeks of Jodi's 52 project, I'm on it! We are feeling the holiday spirit and I'm considering doing a Christmas photo series to count down the last twelve days... Just need to decide on a theme!

I've fallen behind, as I suspected I might. It's OK though, it means I've been out, engaging in the real world, spending less time at my computer (sadly less time with my camera too, but the holidays will provide a fine opportunity to remedy that!). These fun snaps are from my mom's November visit a few weeks ago. Pacific Spirit Park seldom fails to dazzle and did not disappoint on that fine autumn morning!

BC beauty.
