natural light, documentary photography in New York and PA. Photographer Lisa R. Howeler
I used to not mind winter, but now I sort of hate it. I like it for the first couple snow storms, but then I am ready for warmer weather, or at least some sun.
Despite wishing for nicer weather I have found some images to capture the past month or so — and of course most of them have been inside and of my six year old.
I started this project on my 35th birthday, which was in September. My goal is to take at least one photo a day for a full year.

That’s me. The worrying mother. I worry a lot. I know I’m not the only mother who does so.
In the last three months I’ve had to let go and trust God a lot.
My son was diagnosed with asthma. Then a friend reminded me he’d once had reflux and maybe that persistent cough he was getting wasn’t asthma, or only asthma. The doctor listened to me and put him on Prevacid. The coughing has gotten better but there are still days I worry. I worry at the small rash on his cheek, that was probably caused by the cold; then I worry about the circles under his eyes, probably caused by allergies.
I worry and I don’t let God take care of him and me and of it all.
I lay it down. I pick it back up. I lay it down. I pick it up.
You may know the routine.
I’m finding it easier to lay it down, one day at a time, but not effortless . I don’t always listen to what I know is true: that God has us in His hand, but I will keep trying to hear it and comprehend it.
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Matthew 6:26

Keep at it Lisa.. Please don’t get discouraged. You, IMO, are very, very good at this…
White bubbles of fun where superhero figures can hide and be attacked by the Bubble Monster. Bubbles of fluffy white that can be blown at mommy for “bubble fights” and used to make beards and mustaches. Bubbles of fluffy white that usually fade and melt into warm water after making memories that mommy, at least, will treasure for the reset of her life. Branded B&W lighter from My Four Hens’ Life Inspired Collection.

Snow was the name of the game this month and while we didn’t get anywhere near what they did in Massachusetts or Connecticut, it was enough for my son and his friend to make some snowballs and play and play some more. My friend is a talent at entertaining children and even played a game of “Fox and Goose” with them, which I had never heard of before. It was fun to watch, but my feet were too cold by then for me to join in.

Cute! I’ve never heard of fox & goose either. Love the snow angel one.
Great snow day shots!
Great snow! I really like the processing of the black and white one and then the light in the one of him walking. Fun shots! Wish we had that much snow…I think!
Great shots! Im a little jealous that you guys got more snow than we did! LOL
Lisa, these are so fun! Love the b/w of him making a snow angel and the cute face on the one holding the snow ball. Miss snow so much, but glad you’re all enjoying it!
