A Quiet Day; January 16, 2016 – Poulsbo Lifestyle Photographer

Some days are just crummy, quiet, stagnant days and January’s installment of the Here and Now project was just such a day.  I have been struggling through a nasty wintertime creative rut and January was certainly at the height of it.  Additionally, my husband had just left town on travel after being home from deployment for only about a month and a half so I was scraping the bottom of the barrel when it came to mustering motivation for, well, anything.  Dinner?  That could go screw itself.  Housekeeping?  Eff that.  I was in full on survival mode.  The bacon we had for breakfast this day was the one thing I could manage to try spice up our day in the face of Dad’s gone again, it’s cold outside, and there is still only about 3 hours of daylight before the sunsets – I realize that is not scientifically correct, but come January it totally feels that way around here.  So here is the quiet little day that we survived in January.
