365 Days of Happy
365 Photos
My 2015 New Year Resolution was to maintain this 365 Days of Happy album—one image for every day of the year of something I was happy or smiled about.
Clarification, because some have pointed out that not all images in this album are photographs, and some photographs were not taken by me. I chose very early on that I wasn't going to restrict this project solely to photographs I snapped. I was quite content to allow someone else's photo (someone involved in what that day's photo was about) or a screenshot of a computer or phone showing that day's topic.
New Year's Day Trip to Magic Kingdom, January 1, 2015
36 Photos
Lori and I had been gifted single day passes to Disney World by our friend, Jeff, more than a year ago. I was fearful the passes had expired. Thankfully, they hadn't; although they were only valid for Epcot, Hollywood Studios, or Animal Kingdom ever since Magic Kingdom cost about $5 more for a single day. We were able to pay the difference and had a 14½-hour visit to The Happiest Place On Earth™ 😉 It was extremely busy, but I've seen worse. Perhaps just a little bummed I didn't get to ride the new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, but I had absolutely no desire to wait in line for it. The queue was never less than 90 minutes and was 110 minutes much of the day. I figure it'll be there for a LONG time, and I'll find a way to return to Magic Kingdom one day.

MayDay SwimDay, May 1, 2015

My friends Luis and Marisol will soon be leaving Florida as Luis takes a position in Massachusetts. This day was a make-good on the thought to do some photos of their kids in the pool as Marisol has been teaching their swimming lessons. But add in Marisol's sister, Kathy, and Luis' sister, Rosa, plus Marisol and Kathy's mother—and let's just say there was a lot more fun to be had than just smiling at the kids. 🙂

My first visit to the InfoComm convention. In spite of having been once to NAB, once to MacWorld, and twice to the Adventist World Session, I still don't consider myself an experienced convention goer. Nevertheless, I had a great time.
