365 Oranges

December 31, 2011 by Oranges and Avocados

The first photo from 365 Oranges.

Happy New Year, friends! Thank you so much for the love and attention Oranges and Avocados receives every day. I am so grateful to all who visit, read and interact in my little corner of the blogoverse. I can’t believe this blog will be celebrating a second birthday next week!

Learning to blog has meant learning to be consistent in my efforts, to think about and to recognize a story or photo opportunity as it happens, to cook with more in mind than the resulting meal, to be tidy. I have learned to always carry a camera or iPhone, and take pictures all the time, just in case.

Those spontaneous photos have inspired a new blog. Introducing 365 Oranges, a place for me to share an image every day from my kitchen, garden, and life in my favorite city. I have enjoyed visiting some amazing 365 blogs this year, and feel up to the challenge of posting something new each day.

I am just getting started. I have been too busy to make it look the way I want. This blog will take shape in the coming weeks. I hope you will share this adventure with me. I hope to learn a little something about photography, to record the colors and characters of Los Angeles, to explore my world with a new perspective.

The 365 blogs are pretty cool, aren’t they? I’m amazed by what people come up with day after day. I look forward to seeing what you post in the year ahead. I may have gotten myself in over my head, but I’m going for it anyway on my 365 Days to Simplicity Challenge (http://twyste.com). I’ve included a link to your blog on my post scheduled for tomorrow morning, updating my progress on the march toward Simple.
