Jesus Gentle Shepherd,
this cane of red and white
proclaims the sweet love story
born on Christmas night.

This cane, you see, when turned around
begins your name of Love,
and now becomes a symbol
of peace proclaimed above.

I had fun designing this necklace using my white upcycled denim beads and pony plastic red beads.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 10:YOU AND 10 THINGS

Me and my cell phone
Me and my latte
Me and my mirror
Me and my mailbox
Me and my trike
Me and my book
Me and my flag
Me and my car
Me and my meditation garden
Me and my latest denim bead necklace which just happens to have TEN denim beads!

Well, this photo challenge was fun, and I got to use my Mosaicam iPhone app! My family thought I was a little nutso running around posing with different objects and taking selfies, but that's okay.

What's in a Name? Why Casual Day Images?

Once I made the decision to create a blog devoted to my love of photography, I needed a name.

After spending the better part of a morning trying to come up with a BlogSpot name that was not already taken, I gave up and went for a bike ride. Sometimes, getting up and walking (or riding) away from a problem can give the most clarity for discovering an answer.

About six years ago, I came up with an idea for creating one-of-a-kind jewelry designs using recycled denim jeans. The name I came up with for my line of jewelry was Casual Day Designs.

Upon returning from my bike ride, I typed casualdayimages.blogspot.com into the "Address" prompt of the "Create a new blog" window, and had a winner.

Through this blog, while I wouldn't mind sharing with the world (or anyone who stumbles on this page) my love of photography, I basically created the page for a personal recording of the passion I have for the craft.

I want to resurrect the images that have become buried in the archives of my pictures files as well as be accountable to myself through prompts and challenges to learn new techniques and keep taking Images every Day...nothing formal--just Casual.
