365 project - Knobby

Who doesn't like sprinkles?

365 project - Reserved

This one speaks for itself really.

365 project - In the Air

My first time trying to photograph something that is moving. Man it was hard. Learnt about a few more settings on my camera though which was nice. More focus would have been nice though.

365 project - Yummy

I baked a lot for my birthday so this was easy.

365 project - An Encouraging Word

I struggled with this one. It was hard to narrow it down to one word that I find encouraging. So I didn't. I went a little abstract and went with books. They are filled with encouraging words and they themselves encourage us to think and empathize through their words.

365 project - Footprints

Kitty prints ^_^

365 project - In good hands

This one was hard for me. I spent ages thinking about what In Good Hands means. It means safe, protected, guarded, looked after. Trying to come up with something that embodied that was very difficult for me. Then I spotted it. Stuck to the side of my desk is a postcard I got a long time ago when I went on my first Buddhist weekend at the Madhyamaka Centre near York. It was a weekend looking at the concept of Refuge. That weekend I realized that while we all need people around us, a support group, our Sangha, the most important hand to which we entrust ourselves are our own.

That postcard has been there since I came back from that weekend nearly 10 years ago. It is a constant reminder to go for refuge when I need it to Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. To put myself into good hands.
