February 8 - 14

This was yet another wonderful week! We had an impromptu visit from the nephew and brother-in-law, so Monuts was of course included in that. Playtime that day consisted of petting a wooden lady bug and playing with a whoopee cushion so hard that it broke.

The long weekend was a fun adventure with my closest friends. We visited our alma mater, Elon University (raided the bookstore, got lost in all the new buildings, made sure the tours we ran into on campus knew Elon was one of the best choices they could make). Abbie fulfilled my puppy fix. She eventually got used to me doting on her and taking probably too many pics.

On Valentine's Day we had a play session with my friend's in-laws then stuffed our faces with delicious food from Parker & Otis, Nanataco and Parlour ice cream. Durham definitely does not have a shortage of amazing cuisine!

Mixed in with a few shots of the rain and ice, that about wraps up the week! Enjoy.

About the project:

If you take a look through my hard drives, you'll find folders and folders of photos, most of which never truly have had their time in the limelight. These photos are the result of some random moments that I caught while my camera happened to be close by, photowalks from around town, a beautiful instance where the sunlight hit a subject just right, but none of these times warranted a dedicated blog post or feature story on my website. Many of these photos I really like, but once they're snapped they sadly get lost in the digital abyss to be found months later when I sift through my earlier work just for fun.

To bring some of these lost images to the surface and make sure they get their time to be enjoyed by others, I'm embarking on a journey this year to share my weeks in photos with you all. Not only will this give me a platform to post the random beauty I see in the world during my day-to-day, but will also encourage me to once again bring my camera with me everywhere so I can be sure to catch those visions once I see them.
