When I started this project at the beginning of the year, I was hoping it would improve my photography and give me a great record of what I knew would be an epic year in the life of the Butz family. It was a lot of fun at first and I got some good shots from it, but there were a lot of days when I would sit in a chair and think, “Is there anything I am currently viewing which is picture worthy? No? Then forget it.” As you can see from below, I have resorted to standing on my deck many nights to capture the back woods. They’re an easy target.
I confess I’m feeling lazy and don’t plan to put these in any kind of order. Suffice to say they were taken some time this month. Ta da! Done. 🙂

| Why do homework inside in your clothes when you can be outside in your pajamas? In the hammock no less. |
