Worth Waking Up For..........

We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.

I didn't think twice this morning when Cody told me that the sky was soooo orange. Even though it was 7:30 and my weekend to sleep in, I hopped up, put on a jacket and hat, slipped on 'Cody's' snow boots and headed out the door!
FYI - I started a new project at the beginning of 2008. The project demands that I take a photograph to represent each day of the year. In 2008 there are 366 days since it is a leap year. I have started a separate blog dedicated to this series of photos. This project is more for myself than anyone else, although it's not as if I am looking to keep it secret for any specific reason so please check it out if you are so inclined. Feedback is always greatly appreciated!
Not only will I be prone to take more photos as a result of this undertaking, but I am also hoping that it will promote creativity at the same time. So far I have taken the project seriously and have yet to falter due to laziness. I have found that I get cranky when I don't take photos for an extended period of time. So far I have exceeded my expectations of merely taking one photo a day............

Struggle till' Dawn

Dwell not upon thy weariness, thy strength shall be according to the measure of thy desire.

*Yesterday morning I was abruptly awakened by prodding from none other than Cody, with my sweater stretched out in his hands, he says "Get your camera, you have to see this sky!". I groggily wanderer over to the window and lifted the panel to behold the most commanding sky that called to be captured, if there's nothing to cause an unmotivated soul to get their butt in gear it would definitely be a sunrise as grandiose as the one you see above. I know, it's not the best photo you've seen from me but I could care less about that. I could have trekked over the brush separating our yard from the neighbors but I didn't want to!! I've noticed other morning skies from my bathroom window while getting ready for work, but until yesterday I never felt compelled to actually make the effort to digitally record a Charlie Hollar Sunrise. Maybe this is my opportunity to wake up a little earlier in the mornings to gather more sunrise photos such as this............
