There is so much beauty out there this season. I've collected these few from flickr, as seen through the lens of some very talented women. Lately I'm taking in so much inspiration, and by this I don't mean merely a project or idea that I want to copy outright (though sometimes that might be the case) but more so, I'm identifying a visual sensibility that speaks to me; that I want to emulate.

Some new goals have been established around here. No sense in waiting for the new year when I'm feeling the motivation right now:
- I'm designing and finishing a layout a week to capture our family stories. I conceived and quickly put together this on the weekend. Fun!
- I'll be creating one small illustrative piece per week. Some might be line art doodles, some watercolors or acrylics. A confidence maintenance exercise.
- I will take one photo (maybe more) but always one a day, now through the end of December, focused on a small piece of this season in our daily lives.
Sometimes I think that my new year's goals don't stick because of the time of year that they're set. There's a natural lull come January where we want to just huddle inside or play in the cold and not concern ourselves with the future and the seriousness of goals. For me there is anyway. Right now, when I'm really busy, is the best time for me to adopt some regularity to these routines.
Onward!
