After much thought, I arrived at the 3 things I wanted to write about and photo. The first thing I wanted to post about was the NEW school semester. I enjoyed returning to college last summer and have written many posts about the adventure thus far. So I look forward to the NEW semester beginning in a couple of weeks. I decided to photograph my textbook, but it has a shiny cover and I was having a very difficult time getting a good picture. I kept trying to take pictures in different places in the house, etc. The 2nd thing I wanted to photo was my NEW doggie. Again I've written about my special SAM and posted many pictures of him before, but he has been a delightful NEW pet in our household, capturing the hearts of all our immediate family members. So Sam decided to make the photo session a little easier. He jumped into my picture of my textbook. The picture turned out pretty cute. Don't 'cha think?
For my 2nd photo and my 3rd idea, I turn to something a bit more serious. My husband has a NEW lease on life (aka NEW arteries)! Much to our surprise on December 4th, we found out he needed bypass surgery. The events that followed over the next several days were difficult and I posted about some of it before. But at this point in time, we are very, very thankful that he is recovering nicely as expected and we are hopeful that after he is fully recovered he will feel much better than he has in several years. I have some pictures of his scares when they were pretty yucky looking but decided to post a picture today that shows how wonderfully he is healing.
So there you have my edition of Photo Challenge--New. Hop on over to the Brenda's Photo Challenge blog to find out who else is playing today.
