As the weeks progress into 2012, I find myself getting more and more behind on posting pictures. I also still am having trouble uploading pictures. Sometimes they show up with lines across them. Any suggestions? I think something is wrong with my internet connection. Currently, I can only upload 3 pictures at a time and can't do anything else on my computer. Nevertheless, with this set, my persistence paid off. Here are 10 days of photos in February.
February 3, 2012 - Friday
Location: Long Beach, CA
One of my least favorite but most economical runs is to drop off my rent each month. I dislike the run because it is along a semi-busy street so I have to stop for traffic lights and there is little that is visually stimulating. However, on Friday, I intentionally looked for beauty in the city and found these flowers on the edge of someone's yard. They were a bright spot on my day.

Ever since high school I have loved playing volleyball. I have never been all that amazing, but I have had fun. In the past few years, I have played volleyball on a church league. My church has three different teams and I play on the middle one. It is always a great time to interact (and compete) with my friends out of the classic church setting. This picture stars Wilson (a cousin to the infamous Wilson from Castaway) and LBFC Team 3.
February 5, 2012 - Superbowl Sunday
Location: Long Beach, CA
This is the first day where I completely forgot to take a picture. I intended to take a picture at the Superbowl get together I attended, but with the random commercials, entertaining halftime show and dramatic ending of the game, it completely escaped my mind. So this picture was taken the week or so before. I think Walmart was very creative in their display of Pepsi products.

I realize this picture is very overexposed, but somehow the contrast of the colors and the white seemed artistic to me. I took it at night with a flash. Maybe this is something to experiment with more...
February 7, 2012 - Tuesday
Location: Long Beach, CA
What do spiders, clocks, broken egg shells and coconut trees all have in common? The Nursery Rhyme unit at my school. This was a fun few weeks teaching the kids nursery rhymes such as Little Miss Muffet (spiders), Hickory Dickory Dock (clocks), Humpty Dumpty (broken egg shells), and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom ((coconut trees) not a classic nursery rhyme, but a fun story all the same).
February 8, 2012 - Wednesday
Location: Long Beach, CA
Mmmm.... sushi.... Sushi is one of those foods that have grown on me over time. I never ate sushi as a kid. I think my first real sushi (outside of Biola's attempt in the caf) was once I moved to Long Beach. As long as I don't dwell on the fact that I am eating raw seafood, I really enjoy the flavors and textures of sushi. On Wednesday, I supped on some delicious sushi with a friend. All of our rolls were very artistically displayed. This was one of my favorites in both design and taste.
February 9, 2012 - Thursday
Location: Long Beach, CA
One of my favorite subjects to photograph is flowers. These are tiny daisies in the grass at El Dorado Park. I loved the angle of this shot.

Another nature photo taken at El Dorado Park. This is an old fallen tree stump that now has plants growing out of it.
February 11, 2012 - Saturday
Location: Los Angeles, CA
On Saturday night, I went out with my girls to a club. I thought this was a neat angle of the fire heater on the patio with such vibrant purples and pinks in the night lighting. From this picture, you can't really tell that the fire is reaching out from the holes to warm me.

Julie is going to be a bride!! This picture was taken at Julie's bridal shower. I experimented with some fun shots of the flowers, baskets and hanging colored balls, but decided that the one with the bride was the most fitting.
