The beginning

I've been inspired.

A woman who I have only recently become acquainted with, Molly Sabourin, has not only written a heartfelt and helpful book, Close to Home, but also posts podcasts on Ancient Faith Radio. The writer in me fell in love immediately with her work--and in love with her for doing the work.

And then, to top it all off, I came across her Flickr page while looking for images to accompany an article I wrote this past fall. She was in the midst of a fabulous project: Project 365, in which she is taking one (amazing!) photo every day and posting it.

I LOVE this idea. I have long been looking for an excuse to both take pictures and to blog -- and I have finally found it. Thank you Molly! With my new-to-me Canon 20D and whatever few minutes I can carve out of the day, I plan to undertake this daily exercise.

So, I will begin a Flickr set, in which I will number photos (as Molly has done), and I will also keep this blog, where I can explain, record, or muse about the photo, its subject, etc. oooh! I am excited!

I have taken and downloaded a set of pictures, and narrowed Day 1 down to three photos. Would you be so kind as to vote in the poll on the right about which you think deserves to be the first photo in this project?

Option 1: Yiayia fashioning a blanket

Option 2: Surprise!

Option 3: Little fingers

Thank you for reading.

Love, Toni
