After a year’s commitment to posting a photo per week (many weeks I couldn’t help but post more), here is my final photo. Happy New Year! See you on the flip side … the photography will continue.

Project 52 Weeks 50 & 51: A Very Belated Happy Holidays
Well, after spending all Christmas day in bed with the stomach flu and another day recovering, I’m almost back to normal. Luckily I still got to partake in some of the family celebrations before getting sick. Since I’m a few days behind posting last week’s photo, and no one wants to see Christmas photos a week later, you get a two-for-one today.
Day 87: Snowy Spring Sunrise
When it’s springtime and there’s snow on the ground, us Midwesterners like to whine and moan about it. But how can I complain when the is one of the first sights I see in the morning?

Day 73: Gloomy mornings
I don’t know anyone who was hoping for snow yesterday morning, but that’s exactly what we got. The sleet and snow, along with the dark morning after Daylight Savings Time, made my Monday morning feel a little … ok, a lot … dreary. Luckily the skies cleared, it warmed up, and the snow melted. I can’t wait for the 70 degree weather later this week!

Day 61: My favorite sport
I didn’t play a lot of sports in school, but I went skiing in Colorado with my Dad almost every year from the time I was 6 years old. The last few years we haven’t been able to make the trip, but we still try to have a father-daughter day at Snow Creek. Yesterday I took a half day off work, and we were two of only a handful of people on the slopes! Since it was so deserted, we had a lot of fun goofing off in the terrain park on one of the mini jumps. No injuries to report. 🙂

Day 56: It’s still winter
The 70 degree temperatures were a tease last week – it’s definitely still winter. Local meteorologists predicted 2-4 inches of snow Thursday, but we ended up with rain, sleet, ice, and 6 inches of snow. Unfortunately I don’t think the roads were pre-treated, so the morning commute on Friday was a mess. If we look close, however, we can still find beauty in what God gave us.

Day 33: Blizzard 2011, Part 3
The sun is a beautiful thing, especially after a blizzard! Despite the cold, it was certainly a welcome sight yesterday morning.

Day 32: Blizzard 2011, Part 2
Yesterday was definitely a blizzard, just as the meteorologists predicted. The snow was blowing so hard it drifted a couple feet tall into the hallways between apartment buildings, and by the time it was over, it practically buried some of the parked cars.
Both photos:

Day 31: Blizzard 2011, Part 1
The media is calling it “Blizzard 2011,” and they claim it’s coming in three parts. Yesterday was the freezing rain, today is the massive amounts of snowfall and wind, and the next couple of days are the frigid temperatures. Here is an account of small ice accumulation from yesterday’s rain.

Day 19 & 20: Double snow, double fun?
I’m going out of town for a few days, so I’m posting both yesterday and today’s photos. I’ll post this weekend’s photos when I return.
After a slow and slick drive home from work yesterday afternoon in the rapidly accumulating snow, I attempted to capture the falling snow in a photograph.

About 7 inches of snow later, I woke up early this morning to find that work was closed. I planned to help Jerod get ready for work so he could get an early start on the road. I started his car, but instead of helping him clean it, I just took pictures as he worked away in the cold. So much for double the fun! Spring, I’m not so patiently awaiting you!
