Inspiration and The Garbage Day Project
See that’s what happens. I couldn’t believe we still had green grass in December last week. No need to worry about that any more. Snow, snow and more snow. It is glorious! It’s always great to be out in the snow photographing grasses, seed pods and branches.
The severe world of black branches and tan grasses against blue-white snow in the low light is as beautiful as any summer day. Of course, today the snow-world has become ice-world, but it’s never boring in the Midwest.
Of course, there’s a new post on The Garbage Day Project today. I finally admit there are some things that are just garbage.
And, for subscribers to Art, Nature, Creativity, Life, a heads-up that I have posted my favorite photo of 2007 with some end-of-the year thoughts in New Stuff.

As an extremely creative person who works in all kinds of media AND the originator of the Garbage Day Project I would like to ask if you have any ideas for all my outdated health-oriented books? (I must have around 50–both paperbacks and hardbacks). I hate to landfill them but they are of no use to anyone, really. I MUST get rid of them because I have stacks of others that need to go into their space. HELP!

Vicki - Isn’t that the way of it. Perfectly good - but for what? Do you know about Freecycle? It’s a way to get rid of stuff - your junk is another person’s treasure:

Maybe there is a network near you. Altered book artists???
Maybe one of the Garbage Day Project readers can offer us a suggestion.
Let us know if you find a way to keep them out of the landfill and thanks for writing,
