2011s challenge

I've decided to challenge myself this year.  I call it my year of 52 pictures.  The goal is to find something each week that is inspiring.  It has driven me to look for the positive. Look for the art.  Look for the beauty. 
     One thing it has taught me is that my daughter is one of my biggest teachers.  She is always pointing out the beauty in between the cracks of life.  And I have slowed down, to smell the roses.  This is my Shelby. My daughter.  My teacher.  This picture, taken of her on San Juan Island last summer, captures the moment of discovery.  She's pointing out the whales to her cousin.
