I leave you with the picture that hangs over our couch. It is a typical Dominican country scene. The tree with the flaming red flowers is called flaboyan. The are gorgeous trees when in bloom. Sometimes they can be so full of flowers that you can't see the leaves. Flaboyans grow in the country (like in this picture) or in the city. Santo Domingo, where I was born, is a city famous for its lucious vegetation and the flaboyans add such a splash of flaming red.

Ah, but the ordinary is so rich!!
Hang in there, Natalia. I'm so much enjoying the look into everyone's lives. At the end of the year I think you will have a treasure!
I so identify with you, Natalia. The past few days, I've had to force myself to take a picture of something ~ anything ~ just so I won't quit. I hang desperately on the comments, because knowing people look at the pictures is really what keeps me going.
I enjoyed seeing this print; I think I've mentioned before that I'm really interested in going to the Dominican Republic. Keep on keeping on, friend!
These trees look like something out of a fairy tale!
I know how you feel, Natalia. The other day I wondered if I could "keep this up" for 365 days. ;-) However, I think it will be so cool to have this peek into a full year. Let's encourage each other to keep on keeping on.

I really like the glimpse into each others lives! I like how 'ordinary' we are. Like Laura said it makes us rich in blessings, traditions and family. Please keep clicking away!
I love getting a glimpse into your ordinary day, including seeing what hang on your walls.
Beautiful! I like ordinary. :) (But that's no ordinary picture) I have a hard time thinking what to take pictures of too. :)
Oh, don't give up! I do understand how you feel. But just record one thing from the day... it doesn't have to be beautiful or special. Just one ordinary thing. I think, like Laura, that at the end of the year you'll have something you'll value.
Love this photo of the picture. It's very colorful and vibrant.
Hang in there, Natalia. Really, you're doing great. I, too, have found it hard to capture part of my day in a picture - sometimes I can't and sometimes I don't want to. I'm already feeling limited because I stay at home all day most days. I've concluded that some days it'll be easy and obvious what the pic of the day is and other days I might have to go looking and/or take a picture of anything just to keep going. But really, in the end, both of those scenarios are still reflective of the day. And I think you'll be surprised how what is ordinary to you will be important and interesting to others.
I loved hearing about your home and the flaboyan tree. I learned something today because of you. :)
