Photo A Day / Week 9 / 2015

Hello friends,

I hope you've had a good week!

I'm linking up with Natasha's Photo-A-Day, so go check out what everyone else got up to this week! There have been some truly beautiful photos, and I love seeing the simple beauty in other's every day lives.


One // I showed this photo in the last post, but I love it so much I decided to share it again!


Two // Studying Clinical Physiology and filling out my take home test.


Three // Some beautiful moss on a pine tree branch.
A little bit of green in all this snow does a heart good.


Four // A little hopeful garlic on the kitchen windowsill.


Five // I was playing with my new Lightscoop. It works beautifully.
This was taken after the sun went down with flash!


Six // I love this firey-topped tree in the neighbor's yard.
I would have gotten a better photo if the snow wasn't up to my knees.


Seven // I love this sweet boy and am thankful every day to have him in my life.
This was a hard week for me. This week was the first time that the thought I can't do this crossed my mind in regards to school. I am having a difficult time with a skill I must demonstrate successfully in two weeks.

But I won't give up. Whatever trouble I am having now can't last forever.

Until next time,

Photo A Day / Week 7 / 2015

Hello Friends!

Seems we've come to the end of another week. My, how the time does fly! It was a good week. We're on a quick break starting tomorrow, and let me tell you, I felt it near the end of this past week. My motivation for homework went way down! Normally I don't mind it too much and I stay on top of it, but golly I didn't want anything to do with it. Don't worry though, I'll be staying plenty busy with two take-home tests, and three papers to work on!

Linking up with Natasha once again, so go check out what everyone else posted!


One // These paws are wonderful. And kissable.


Two // Umbrella tree. I'm not trying to kill it, but it gets forgotten a lot, poor thing.
Luckily it's very hardy!


Three // Someone kindly brought Apples to Apples this past game Wednesday.


Four // My mud flap fell off.
It's been freezing or below for twenty some-odd days now. I can't get this stuff off.


Five // One of the shelter dogs we are hosting this semester, Maisy.


Six // Another one of our shelter pups, Nicole. I spent my weekend caring for them with another student; we're on break this week!


Seven // My brother Ben's car in the back yard. It's been a little snowy!

Until next time,

Photo A Day / Week 6 / 2015

One // The maple tree is making new leaves.


Two // My new necklace.


Three // We've started playing Jenga between classes on Wednesdays.


Four // This is one of my mice, Slingshot.
He lives at school because he's just assigned to me for the class.


Five // Nova in the morning light.


Six // Kismet (a Milking Shorthorn). She's very sick.
She is receiving painkillers and powerful antibiotics via a jugular catheter.


Seven // Doodling instead of homework.
White boards are awesome for sketching ideas without wasting precious sketch paper!

I like dragons, what can I say? :)

Photo A Day / Week 5 / 2015

Linking up with Natasha once again!

It snowed this week. Real snow, and lots of it. It was wonderful. It was what winter is supposed to be: going to bed with little to no snow and waking up to a white winter wonderland.


One // The storm begins.


Two // Snow comparison. Left: Feb 1st. Right: Feb 2nd.


Three // Sawyer's nose.


Four // My hair. With an adorable decorative feather comb.


Five // The raspberry bushes produced well into the fall,
and they weren't done when winter came 'round.


Six // Practicing my knots for large animal lab.


Seven // Gratuitous meat head/Sawyer shot.

It was a busy week! Some really exciting opportunities came my way. The instructor for my large animal lab let me bottle feed the orphan goat, I got to give a cat subcutaneous (under the skin) fluids, and a distemper shot to a client's dog. Routine for some, but I haven't done any of that before and it was very exciting.

Until next time,

Photo A Day / Week 4 / 2015

Hello all!

Here's another round of Photo A Day. Linking up with Natasha again! I missed Thursday this week. Thursday was exceptionally busy. Enjoy!


Jan. 26th // My beautiful mountains, all around.


Jan. 27th // Studying parasites. This one is Taenia saginata.


Jan. 28th // Miss Nova Mae.

---

Jan. 29th // No photos today. :(

---

Jan. 30th // A second Nova picture! She was being exceptionally photogenic this week.


Jan. 31st // It snowed! Real snow this time!

Today I'm grateful for snow! I feel like a little kid when it snows, especially more than a few inches. It's supposed to snow tonight into Monday morning and I'm pretty excited. (Sincerely hoping for safe driving to school though. It was scary on Friday morning.)

Until next time,

Photo A Day / Week 3 / 2015

I decided to take a photo every day and link up with Natasha, whose blog I've followed for years and who feels like a friend after all this time.

A photo per day is a lot harder than in seemed like it would be. School started this past week as well as this challenge, so I had little time to spare, but I made it work. The best part was realizing I hadn't taken a picture and now it was dark outside. Definitely had me noticing things in my house that I hadn't noticed in years.

I added each photo after it was taken, on the day it was taken. Enjoy!


Jan. 18th // Lilac buds. Even though it's been frigid lately, the lilacs are getting ready for spring. Isn't that a hopeful thing?


Jan. 19th // Moss growing on the shed roof. Classes started up again today, and it is frightening the amount of work I have to do already.


Jan. 20th // My desk at the office where I work part time, two days per week.


Jan. 21st // A lovely tea towel I bought with teal chevron. Teal is one of my favorite colors!


Jan. 22nd // In the mornings when I am getting dressed, I open the curtain for Sawyer to look upon the world and survey all he owns. He takes it very seriously. His expression is this tense the whole time. (When he's looking outside that is. He's pretty goofy too.)


Jan. 23rd // I almost forgot to take a picture today! Luckily I remembered around 10:30pm and started taking random photos. This was my favorite. Sawyer's teal collar over his paw - though he didn't stay very still for it!
I did, however neglect Saturday and Sunday, so we'll start fresh tomorrow! (As long as I can find my camera! ;) )

Today I am grateful for bird song in winter, as it reminds that spring isn't so far off after all.

Until next time,
