My Month in a Photo: February 2014

Here is a view of the Hocking River for my February photo. This was taken toward the end of the month when there was a big heat wave! I took this with my iPhone while I was out biking on the bike path.

I may share some of my photos from my photography class on here soon, I was going to use one of them for this post, but I unfortunately left my external hard drive at school when I left for spring break. So come back later for a post of some of my other February photographs.

My Month in a Photo: January 2014

Wow has the beginning of February already been busy! I have had my first installation of "My Month in a Photo" ready to go, but I didn't get it posted on the last day of the month because I was at a synchronized swimming competition until late yesterday. However, it is here now! I call this one "Feeling the Chill."

Feeling the Chill

I think this picture most accurately represents January, I mean with the Polar Vortex, and all. Also because of the freezing cold temperatures down here on campus. I have heard that it has not been this cold here in 20 years! Because they have not experienced this cold in a while, the buildings have not been equipped with the best heating systems. I am not talking about the classrooms though, I'm talking about the dorms! We had no heat in my room when temperatures were dropping well below 0. So basically, I was freezing.

This picture is a perfect way to represent the chill that I felt all January long, with the frost clinging to the window, and I hope that it does not continue into February.
