So I've been meaning to join in Chad's 12 of 12 for about a year now! I learned about it through Andrea and Claudine. It's pretty straight forward -- on the 12th day of the month, you capture your day in 12 pictures. Since this month's 12th fell on a Saturday, I was able to remember to do it! You can see more 12 of 12ers here.
So here goes...
I got up around 8:30 am...had a little breakfast.
It was an absolutely gorgeous day here in Portland! I had a 10:30 am appt at the Cat Adoption Team for a Volunteer Orientation. I'm SO excited about this. I applied to be a "cat cuddler." :-)
While on my way and stopped at a traffic light, I noticed this bird...
Arrived on time at my destination...
I was home by 1:00 pm and since it was just too nice to be inside, I tried to spend some time outside. I had a friend along...
I LOVE.THIS.KITTY!
This evening we had a wedding to go to so I had to get the gift all wrapped up. Got to use up the last of some wrapping paper and ribbon...don't you just love that?!
On our way into downtown...
Paying for parking...
Some Portland architecture...
We arrived at the wedding a little early so a group of us walked over to Jake's Grill and got a drink.
Having fun and being all romantical at the wedding. I LOVE weddings!
This wedding was a workmate of Glen's so we sat at the table with a bunch of his other workmates. VERY fun group! Lots of good laughs! It was SO.MUCH.FUN! I seriously laughed so hard that my cheeks hurt! These guys MADE the wedding with their dancing. This picture was taken while they were dancing to Vanilla Ice!
So now we're home...Glen's playing guitar and it's time for tea...whoops...that would be pictures 13 and 14 of 12...I'll have to pace myself better next month! :-)
Hope you had fun sharing my day with me! It was fun! See ya next month!
Great photo concept. It's one way being in the moment, celebrating all of our daily blessings.
Can I call you Kitty Cuddler yet? :)

How is that rice milk? I've been tempted to try it.
Cute kitty. Looks like my cat, Chase.
Thanks for sharing.

Well, I exceeded the 12 on the 12th---shooting 89 pics yesterday... First batch---car photos, 2nd batch---friend's daughter in a pageant. I like the glimpse into your day though---fun to see the everyday part of life, not just artsy pics or events! Wasn't it lovely here yesterday? Amazing weather!

He, I like the pix of the 2 guys dancing! Love all the pictures you have taken for your 12x12.

Pacing's a good thing to learn lol - it's harder on a weekday 12 of 12 (assuming it's a day you work). I was in London and took about 198 photos on the Saturday lol!
Welcome to 12 of 12, it was great to see a little into your day, and the wedding sounds a hoot, to judge by the dancing! Hope you enjoyed the 12 of 12, and come back!
(I'm late to commenting as I got back late on the 14th, which is why my 12 of 12 was up late)
