Inspired by the web site 365 Project and my friend Lisa, today I begin a picture-a-day post for the year of 2011. Hopefully it will turn out to be a fun way to document a year of my life.

So here’s photo #1, my house lit up on New Year’s Day night minutes before I took down all the Christmas lights:

(Full disclosure: I started late and posted this on Jan. 2, but backdated the post to Jan. 1. But I really did take this photo yesterday. I swear!)

I’ll also be posting each of these photos in an album on my personal Facebook page. Send me a friend request if you like.
