Countdown to Christmas - Photo Challenge - Day 20:STOCKING

Mom's vintage Christmas stocking was adorned with jingle bells, and unlike today's socks, the personalization was upside down...

It is actually more in the shape of a sock as well with a narrow ankle and foot part of the sock. Not sure what Santa would've been able to stuff down into the toe except for maybe nuts...or coal?

The terrycloth top is dingy and yellowed, but it will forever be a reminder of mom's love of bringing Santa to life every Christmas.

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.
