Winter Words: cozy

Our last winter word is cozy. My photo is on the left and Allison's is on the right. I'm happy with how this project turned out. It was fun to look for photo opportunities based on winterish words and I loved the surprise of how our photos looked next to each other.

Mine was taken in Elliott Bay Cafe, which is a cozy place to go on dreary winter days.

Winter Words: spiced

The word of the week for our Winter Words project is spiced. My photo is on the right and Allison's is on the left. These are spices I used for a potato chickpea curry which makes an awesome winter meal.

Winter Words: snow

This week's Winter Word is snow. My photo is on the left and Allison's is on the right. I'm still hopeful we'll get the snowpocalypse that has been predicted for the Seattle area but so far we haven't had anything more than flurries since November.

Winter Words: steam

Our Winter Words word of the week is steam. My photo is on the left and Allison's is on the right. My glasses are constantly fogging up this winter, which was pretty amusing the first time it happened but by now the novelty has worn off.

Winter Words: tradition

The word of the week for Winter Words is tradition. My photo is on the right and Allison's is on the left.

One of my favorite Christmas traditions is when my family piles into the car on Christmas Eve night and we drive around and look at Christmas lights in our town while listening to our favorite Christmas tapes by The Living Voices. It was raining this Christmas Eve, as you can probably tell in my photo, but that never deters us. I look forward to this ride every year. I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!

Winter Words: hibernation

The word for this week's Winter Words project is hibernation. My photo is on the right and Allison's is on the left.

Winter Words: layers

Here is the second installment of Winter Words. The word for this week is layers. My photo is on the left and Allison's is on the right. I'm really excited with how this one turned out! We chose pretty different interpretations of layers but I think the photos complement each other.

Winter Words: serene

I recently met up with Allison, creator of the awesome blog 24:00, to discuss a project we could collaborate on this winter since we both struggle with finding inspiration during these months of short days and little light, so we came up with Winter Words. We picked a list of words that remind us of winter and each week we'll independently take a photo to represent that word and post them together on our blogs. This week's word is serene. My photo is one the right and Allison's is on the left (click on the photo to see a bigger image).

I'm really excited to see how this project pans out and hopefully it will help motivate me to keep taking photos even when I'm not feeling inspired. Are you guys doing any projects this winter?
