Where I Stand
I forgot to bring an extra water with me so before work I went into the grocery store in the shopping center where I work. They have this mosaic at the entrance that resembles a compass rose.

I had to take the rental car through the car wash because it had been raining, and it got really dirty.

Off Prompt
Today I dropped my car off at the body shop to be repaired after someone backed into it in the parking lot at work and then fled the scene. This is the rental car that I have while mine is being repaired.

Action | Picture Me
I usually get groceries for the week on the weekend, and now that it's just my husband and myself everything usually fits into just two bags.

A Coin
I found the coins from some of my travels to other countries and the pouch where they have been kept. It looks like most of these coins are from Mexico and Canada. I think there are some from France which had to come from my parents because I've never been there.

Sushi
The grocery store in the shopping center where I work sells sushi, and according to my husband, it's actually some of the best sushi around. Personally, I don't eat it. I think this is something with salmon.

Keepsake
A ring that belonged to my grandmother and my high school and college class rings; all with my topaz birthstone. I'm the only child or grandchild who shared a November birthday with my grandmother so it was natural that I would get her topaz jewelry.

My friend gave me this coaster on Friday. We were supposed to see each other back in early January so it was really a Christmas present.

Something Mid Air
I managed to capture a bird in the air as it was moving to a bird feeder.

Heart | Challenge Day
The challenge was to use a book or magazine with pages folded in to create a heart. I used a magazine because it seemed to work the best to keep the shape. I like how this heart is barely visible.

Twisted
It's pretty twisted that someone did this to my car yesterday afternoon while I was at work and didn't even bother to take responsibility.
The piece that got torn off.

Touch
I always hold the hymnal to sing at church even if the words are on the screen. If I don't know the song well, it helps for me to have the musical notation as a guide.

Withered
I found lots of withered leaves on the banks of the Potomac River when I dropped my husband off to bike on the C&O Canal Trail today.

Slide
The first thing I thought of when I saw this prompt was an afternoon after church a few years ago (2017) when my friend and I tested out the new playground equipment. We had to make sure it was safe for the young children, you know.

One of the local groceries stores is selling these glittery flowers inside glass balls and hearts. There were several pink options available.

Outside
This was taken from outside the business where I work. We were closed on Monday and Tuesday because the restaurant next door had some kind of water problem that caused three businesses to partially flood. My boss was able to move to an empty space a few doors away; that business had just moved out at the end of the previous week. The other crazy thing is that this same thing happened four years ago too.

Reflections
Originally I was trying to take a picture of some lighted berries through the window, but that wasn't working very well. Then I noticed that my cat was trying to figure out what I was doing so I switched to trying to get her picture. She kept moving around, and I had to keep tapping on the window to try to get her to look at me.

My World | Seasonal Photo
I don't think this looks a lot different than the January photo, but here is My World, February edition, the view from my bedroom sliding glass door. If you look closely, you can see a few birds on the bird feeder.

Selective Focus | Scavenger Hunt
Today's assignment was to isolate the subject of a photo in four different ways: looking up, looking down, looking through, and get in close. This is tonight's dinner in various stages of preparation.

Share the Love
I got my hair cut today. I wanted to get it cut back in December, but when I looked at my calendar I realized that I didn't have any openings in my schedule between work, traveling, and Christmas festivities. Unfortunately, when I made the appointment there was a bit of confusion, and I ended up getting booked with a different stylist because mine doesn't work on the first Friday of the month. I decided to keep the appointment because apparently the last time I got my hair cut was July. The stylist did a great job! Here's my new do and a look at a new shirt that I recently bought at 75% off! You have to love when you find a bargain. The part that's covered by my hair says "Stay wild moon child."

Frame From Video
This picture was taken in December when we traveled to Tuscaloosa for our son's graduation from the University of Alabama (Roll Tide!). We found this terrific river walk along the Black Warrior River to while away some time in between checking out of our hotel and the departure of the train. I saw this boat and tracked it along the river until I found a shot that I liked.
