I live in a 35 year old house that has issues....but don't most houses have a few? people too? Anyway, one of the more enjoyable features are the large windows looking out into the backyard. Southern exposure fills the family and dining room with light which we relish all year round.
In the dining room right by the smallish kitchen (one of the issues before mentioned) is our table that has featured many a meal, board game, life-changing discussions ,
morning coffee with newspaper...
The window next to said table is very large and fills the whole wall ... where I gaze at my garden, have watched my daughters and Sam swim in the pool, enjoyed sunrises over the tall oaks....I love it immensly and have chosen to embrace this spot in my home even though I would rather have a bigger kitchen.
the table has wood which has absorbed life; happiness, anger, daughters growing up, teardrops from my eyes as I pray for a friend...and then tears of laughter with friends and family from all parts of life.
In the quiet moments of this new year as life sprouts from behind the glass, I decided to use this backdrop...the table by the window, for a year long journal of photographs, just a couple a week posted to a set....hope you might enjoy

That is a fantastic idea for a project and you are off to a great start. Can't wait to see where you go with it.
This is a great project, a wonderful way to stretch your imagination and grow as a photographer, and some eye candy for the rest of us. :-)
How great to have large windows! Your photos are beautiful. It will be so fun to see your project through the year. I went to Flickr and looked at your set of images of Sam. I hadn't seen it before. He is so precious!

Can any one or any thing reach the age of 35 and not have a few issues???
I am looking forward to you creative project and the lovely window. I think window light is the most lovely light you can get.

I love the way the light shines through the little vase by your window. And you garden - it looks heavenly. I'm in the planning stages of my first post-retirement garden and I can't wait to get my hand dirty!
...What a fantastic idea! and the photos you have started out with are wonderful. I especially like the beautiful blue bottle that you started off with and the view of your garden behind the pear and pitcher still life...Beautiful!
The view of your yard is so gorgeous. Makes me jealous of you Texans! :)
Beautiful garden and photos! I'm excited that you're also doing a 100 project! Can't wait to see more.
i am intrigued by the view of your garden beyond the window...can't wait to see more!
