Today, I am tired. I'm exhausted from lack of sleep and too much coffee. I'm mentally drained from trying to do everything on my "to-do" list all at the same time. I'm emotionally fatigued from just about everything I see on the news. Today I feel my age and that makes me weary. But tomorrow the sun will rise. I'll have a cup of coffee while listening to the birds singing outside and my wife and son laughing inside. It will be a brand new day. And I will not be tired. Day 285 of my 365 photo a day project.

A tiny, solitary feather floats in the warm glow of the evening light. These are the moments I live for as an artist. The simple, quiet, profound moments when the cacophony of the day fades away and nothing is left but the exquisite calm. In these moments, it does not matter if I create or not. What is important, is that I can be open to what I see and feel and that I listen to the questions being asked. Day 284 of my 365 photo a day project.

It's summertime. A time to be with friends and family, enjoy a cold beer or soda, and talk about life and everything. And with everything going on in the world these days, we need to do a lot more of that. We need to talk more, be with each other more, and get out from behind our screens more. Of course, I know this won't solve all of the problems, but it would be a great start. What'ya say? Who's up for a beer? First round's on me! Day 283 of my 365 photo a day project.
