What an eventful month Jessica....I love the thought of living in the now and accepting the feelings of our circumstances for what they are. Allow yourself to feel the joy..as well as allowing the pain to be known. Its often uncomfortable but, as your post so eloquently shows, all difficult moments are over with in time and are replaced by the next moment...whatever that may be. I really like "give way"....something about the colors and the mood.........and tell me, who were the ridiculously good looking couple at you party ?!..Id also love to know how they surprised you.... I have no idea how I was part of the inspiration for this Jess but what an honor. Your thought processes are endlessly fascinating and complex and Im just a dipsy fruit cake most of the time..lol Happy leap Year.... xo focussed · 2008-02-29: 05:51

Pretty pictures, interesting thoughts, I think .. The road to happiness is a long and tortuous ... Greetings. Happy leap year yamaleekis · 2008-02-29: 05:59

i LOVE shot number 12 it is beautifully composed Fali84 · 2008-02-29: 06:11

as long as there is coffee, all else is manageable. I am curious about the Persian plate...what does it represent? Burstmode · 2008-02-29: 06:22

Nice pictures. Besides, they work as a whole and I appreciate when someone bravely opens to the public and tells stories. For me, your stories are as interesting as the ones of Dickens. A person from a far land tells stories and shows pictures. wow Vil0443 · 2008-02-29: 06:54

Your posts are always so engaging! Happy Belated Birthday by the way! Perhaps you could also think of the 'weed' a little differently? When I saw it, I immediately thought 'hey, that plant found a way to make its presence felt, to not let everything around it hold it down. What determinatation that little weed must have to reach for the sun, against all odds!' Its often a bummer that weeds are so resilient, but we could take valuable lessons from them. Thanks for putting yourself out there, I enjoyed this set immensely! MHJphotos · 2008-02-29: 08:35

I recognize your inspirations here, as well as your personal touch of course. Moods are definitely striking in these shots. I love this month too, but I feel like I'll love next one even more! ; ) Madoc · 2008-02-29: 10:30

A very nice thought provoking post... thanks for sharing your thoughts! Great shot of your friends , I like it when people feel free to be silly in front of the camera. DancingDolphin · 2008-02-29: 11:14

wow - that is a lot to happen in a month. i can relate to a lot of things here - like trying to figure things out and who i am trying to be in this world. oh, before i forget, i have that Banksy book too! my brother bought it for me when he was in England a few months ago and gave it to me for christmas. very cool stuff. sometimes my life is too routine, other times too unpredictable. i do my best to change things when i'm not happy, like pursuing a new job, but sometimes that is beyond my control and i don't get what i want right away. very nice reflection on things - i think it's always important to do that to make sure you are on the track that makes you happiest :-) great set of photos to get with great words (again!)!! lexlevans · 2008-02-29: 13:45

Great post. mintra · 2008-02-29: 14:16

Jess what a great post - looking back on your favorite month!! Really love #4. It does seem that 2008 has started off quite quickly... I can't believe it is almost March already! And HOORAY for the Canadian artist... she really is doing so well! :) KerBear · 2008-02-29: 14:32

I like the pic of street . zahra2 · 2008-02-29: 15:05

Images and story in oerfect harmony.make for a great set, and a very worthwhile visit yet again. i can't wait to see what a really good month looks like. LOL. ?:o) Zedsdead · 2008-02-29: 17:34

Happy Belated Birthday. I kept looking at photo #9 and saying "wow, those two look familiar!" It's Andrea and Mark. I didn't know you all knew each other. Did she tell you my family and I are coming to visit in 2011.....or was it 2010? Anyway, how cool it that. She is such a cool person so I know that if you are friends with her you are cool as well. Ok.......Sorry for rambling. I love all the photos bamommy · 2008-02-29: 17:46

Thanks for the mention—Don't we all bounce off one another? That's the beauty of this blog. The first photo is a great way to start and an interesting composition. I resonate to your creativity as you go through the month and why am I not surprised to see Banksy on your table? " Some people want to make the world a better place. I just wanna make the world a better-looking place. If you don't like it, you can paint over it!" Thanks for your thoughts. They always make me stop and think. photopoet · 2008-02-29: 18:00

What a busy month! And, ah to be young again and be able to think deep thoughts! Happy belated b'day to you. oldbabe · 2008-02-29: 18:54

Very lovely reflections. I hope my son and daughter grow up to be as close as you and your brother are. ambersunsets · 2008-02-29: 21:13

Wonderful reflections! I've always loved February too - the end of summer, the beginning of a new school year, my birthday - much better than March ;-) jet28 · 2008-03-01: 05:11

Great idea! I love seeing the highlights of what looks like a great month. Fantastic job. PaperWings · 2008-03-01: 19:52

beautiful post jess. i love all these photos but esp.... 3) because there is a tamborine on your coffee table. 7) because your brother is wearing an afro and seems like such a character. 8) because it is just a gorgeous shot. 9) beacuse mark and andrea are so adorable. 15) because i heart feist. on my last trip to brooklyn with nick before we moved out to california, we went and saw her at a giant converted outdoor swimming pool. she was incredible and i kick myself for not having my camera at the time. so ridiculous. but, i have the memories none the less. it's good to reflect. it's how you learn to appreciate the things you have. l&h jessica!
