For 2012, I will post one new picture every day.

Day 16

January 16, 2012

I guess I was uninspired today. Sometimes I just can’t see past my backyard. The weather is too spectacular, the sun too bright, my body too exhausted to muster up the energy to leave the house. I did a killer workout this morning in my new kicks and I already feel the exhaustion creeping in. … More Day 16

Day 15

January 16, 2012

Beautiful days like today make me fall in love with my hometown all over again. The chilly air is canceled out by the warm sunshine bathing Beach Drive in a golden glow. Tourists and locals pack the streets, eating tapas and drinking iced tea like the rest of the country isn’t blanketed in snow. Because … More Day 15

Day 14

January 15, 2012

It has been a day of early accomplishment, relaxation, and contemplation. I started the day off right with an invigorating spin class with a vivacious Latina instructor who pushed me hard, despite being unable to understand a word she said. Afterwards, I trained Megan for the first time and enjoyed teaching her how to maneuver … More Day 14

Day 13

January 13, 2012

Florida weather is so strange. Suddenly it is cold again. As the day went on I put a trench coat over my summer dress and squeezed the belt tightly around my waist. This does nothing for my legs. Or my toes. But I’m used to not feeling my toes in most climates and have kept … More Day 13

Day 12

January 12, 2012

An express tune-up at the auto shop leads to interesting conversations and life stories shared among oil and chrome. Thompson owned a tattoo parlor for 8 years until the 2009 economy pushed him out of business. After working in the auto store for 3 years, he is a bonafide car whiz. With a quick twist … More Day 12

Day 11

January 11, 2012

For lunch we stopped at a new restaurant by a paint shop we needed to visit later for the building. The ambiance was nice and I ordered a Southwest Chicken Salad expecting beautiful greens piled high with beans, corn, avocado, and grilled chicken. Instead I am greeted by a bowl of iceberg lettuce, strips of … More Day 11

Day 9

January 9, 2012

Another beautiful morning in St. Petersburg. Such gorgeous light predicting a perfect day to come. Too bad I will be hidden away from this perfection till the sun sets. Mondays always seem less bright. Anticipating things that have yet to come.

Day 8

January 8, 2012

One of the things I love most about Florida is the year-round sunshine. You just can’t avoid it. I happen to avoid it pretty well with my 9-5 office job but get outside as often as I can. You know a nifty thing about sunlight? It creates contrast. Although my photography professor scorned pictures of … More Day 8
