I couldn't decide on which of the two edits of this image I preferred...so I hope that you'll enjoy both of them :) (Or perhaps instead, tell me which one I should delete!)

365 Project (#2) - 5/365

(Snapped on 2/22/14, in Waverly, Va. - using an iPhone and Instagram filters)

I took a mess of pics. yesterday (not as many as I would've liked to however, since the road trip that I set out on, ended abruptly and I was forced to turn around and come back home...I'll explain later), and then spent so many, many hours today, editing the images on Instagram - that when it came time to decide upon which single, solitary photo outta the entire lot to post to my 365 Project, I was so bleary-eyed, and sick of looking' at the damned things, that I entrusted the decision-making process to my youngest daughter (god love 'er)…and this ^ is the image that she chose…(Thank You, Love Bug!)

The River Cottage

(All pics. snapped on 2/18/14 - using an iPhone and Instagram filters)

I can't even tell you how much of a relief it was - to finally have a sunny, and (relatively) warm day during which to go out and take some pictures, yesterday! Plus, since my shoulder's not been feeling nearly as fragile, and tender, and vulnerable as it has been lately - shooting this abandoned river house did more than simply mend my sorely sagging spirits, it literally filled my heart with intoxicating joy...

…despite the heavy sadness that permeated the lonely cottage...

365 Project (#2) - 1/365

(Snapped on 2/18/14, in Wardensville, WV - using an iPhone and Instagram filters)

(Let's try this again…)

Soooooo…I completely tore a ligament in my shoulder, a couple and a half weeks ago - which fairly well put the kibosh on my ability (and desire) to take daily pics.. I am on the mend now though, (thankfully!) and so today I went out with the sole purpose in mind, of snapping pictures with my handy dandy iPhone, so that I could then return home to relaunch my "365 Project" - Woot!!! Feels good to be a(n almost) fully functioning human again!
