bowl o' tomatoes

I must admit, these past few days have felt a bit stressful as I, for whatever reason, have been placing huge amounts of pressure on myself, about all sorts of non-specific things... gonna try a different tactic now - stop, relax, breathe, slow down... Studies are completed, finished, gone, and there is no reason to stress or rush any more :) Time to let go of years of conditioning!
Congratulations on finishing your studies. I find tomatos increase my headache. I hope you have better days after resting.

breathing's good for you - make sure you keep it up ;) Love the three tone nature of this and the crop works well.

That's exactly right Teresa, no need to stress; just go with the flow! And while this is a fantastic image of tomatoes, @bobfoto and @peterdegraaff have ruined tomato photos forever for me... because I always look for and expect to see a frog somewhere... :)

happy new year. After what you said about your little gang, I just checked back on the site, flicked through the discussions....its like hey I'm new! hey I'm new! hey I'm new too!! Ah well, embrace the new I guess. I like the idea of developing outside of 365, and moving forward and then at some point maybe coming back and doing something totally different for a few months. Anyway all the best.

It takes a while to relax even most of the time when you have always been in a rush - took me about 5 years! Make that 10! I love these wee tomatoes - they look so perfect!

@grizzlysghost - I'm the same... everytime I see a frog these days, I wonder where the nearest tom is...
January 3rd, 2013  
@bobfoto @grizzlysghost lol I am sorry to disappoint! Here's the frog, as required! http://365project.org/pocketmouse/365/2012-11-27

If you open both photos next to each other and squint your eyes, you'll get the quintessential shot. :D
