December Photo Project ::: 12.1.09

"The redwoods, once seen, leave a mark or create a vision that stays with you always." -John Steinbeck

We have spent the last 5 days deep in the redwood forest outside Santa Cruz, California...communing with a delightful family. Sharing meals, hiking, laughing, learning, gathering, breathing, restoring.  The only word that can describe our experience there is "magical". We are forever changed...and can't wait to go back again.

December Photo Project '09

Last year, my dear friend Deea took part in the December Photo Project and every day I was anxiously awaiting a new photo on her blog. I'm super excited about DPP this year...not only for Deea's photos, but because I am going to take part as well! AND... I encourage all photographers out there to join too. This is a great way to reflect on your day and to document your journey in life (even if in just a small way).
