Photo A Day - January 1st!

[amelialourdes]

Here we go, folks! We're doing this. I'm doing both the Photo-A-Day challenge and starting a Things Around My Apartment photo-a-day for the year. I've accumulated a lot of stuff over the years so it's finally time to get those things documented. Let's get it going.

Thank you to susanderavish for this month's prompts!

"Things Around My Apartment"

Had to use my CoolPix 'cause I can't find the USB cord for my Nikon! Grr. But these are the flowers I got for my mom's birthday. The Venetian in Las Vegas has a fantastic concierge service. The flowers and other items I ordered were delivered on time. Last year, I got her a huge bouquet in a large vase that we weren't able to carry down to the car. This year, I went small and portable. They've lasted with a little bit of water since the 27th. The wilting process has already begun but they still look beautiful.
