day 38:

Old School

hmmm.

old school.

i thought about actually finding an old school building.

but then didn't.

i came up with a better idea.

or, an idea i liked better.

i have cross country skis.

i have old school cross country skis.

yes, yes i do.

so they became my photo project.

day 38 was also the opening ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

these were the Olympic themed skis of my 5th year of life. 

wow.

24/365 & 25/365

**yes, i skipped day 23.  it was umbrellas.  i didn't even take a photo that day** 

day 24:

Fresh Air.

i wanted to take a photo of my breath...

then i realized that's not fresh air but recycled air.

how do i take a photo of fresh air?

i can't take a photo of the air exactly, 

but where do i go to feel, breathe, the fresh air?

into the bush, away from buildings, cars...

the trees give us oxygen 

(unless science has discovered something else since i was in school - - 

i mean, pluto isn't a planet anymore...but i'm pretty sure about this.)

that's as fresh as we can get.

so here's some of the trees...

couldn't get oxygen filled leaf trees since they're sleeping right now.

day 25.

Caring

*this prompt is to be done as a Portraiture.  for me to practice.*

i told the fam. at the beginning of the day that i would be needing to do this one.

so they weren't too surprised when i would say 

'I want a photo of you doing that.'

so.

out we went.

to our back hill to snowboard.

our boy is learning, and daddy is teaching him.

he straps on his board, gets some advice and heads down the hill.

daddy comes to the bottom and gives him a piggyback up the hill (with snowboard still strapped on)

and away he goes again.

usually they repeat that a few times before his dad wants to do some snowboarding of his own.

they call it 'Daddy chairlift'

OFSAA

Huntsville had the opportunity to host the OFSAA nordic ski.

what a great opportunity for this town.

on day 2 of the events main street was covered with snow.

i had a chance to get downtown to watch and cheer on our HHS students.

my husband, daughter and dog came too.

my son was up the street with his class.

(the benefit of attending the school right downtown)

it was a snowy, winter day.
