A photo a day...

Somehow, March whizzed by and April completely snuck up on me. I think it must have been all of the amazing summer-like weather we were blessed with last month, along with an intensely busy and jam-packed schedule at work. Hence, my March Photo a Day challenge shots are getting posted a little later than planned...

I am still loving the photo-a-day challenges for a couple reasons. I love that regardless of how busy I am, the challenges remind me to sneak in at least one picture a day. Also, it is fun to pay attention to the little things around me that I might have not noticed without the suggested daily themes. Here are my 31 photos for the 31 days of March...
