![Life As I See It [Health, Fitness and Happiness]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v407/momof2as/CY365BlogHop2IMG_8486_WEB.jpg)
Another fun month of Capture Your 365, inspired by Katrina Kennedy. Using Katrina's June June Photo Idea List and daily emails, my 365 project took on a new perspective. Ultimately, my goal continues to be to look through the lens with a more creative eye, but this month my perspective seemed to focus on the role photography plays in my overall health and fitness. I realized photography is not only something I love to do. It's good for me.
A few things I noticed while capturing images for the month of June:
- Like running or working out, a camera in my hand relaxes me.
- Taking pictures is one of the few situations that I don't over think.
- I am never too busy or in too much of a hurry to grab a camera.
- A less than perfect shot is truly better than missing the shot altogether.
- I used minimal editing and no actions :)
A few favorites from Capture Your 365 June:
Prompt: Words
3 little words that spoke volumes. My daughters accomplishment of completing elementary school with honors. My last year as a mom of an elementary school student.
Prompt: Summer
A simplicity enjoyed.
Prompt: Observe
I know when my son is not in the mood to talk. He sits quietly and looks out the window. And without fail I wonder what does he see and what is he thinking.
Prompt: Fun
Simply her personality.
Prompt: Dad
Wishing we lived closer together.

"A less than perfect shot is truly better than missing the shot altogether" is so true! I love to write, take photos, and read. I also find great pleasure in taking every not so shiny situation and spiff it up and turn it into something positive and sparkly. That's what I love to do :)

Wonderful photos! I'm working on keeping a camera with me at all times. I've missed too many photo opportunities because I didn't grab it.

Such a great perspective Jill. Gardening gives me exactly what you are talking about. Nothing like it. And well, there is photography too :)
