Word of the Day: Adjuvant

Last week, my good friend Allie and I decided to start a photo project based on the idea from Photojojo. We’ve decided to take Dictionary.com’s word of the day every Tuesday, take a photo we feel represents the definition of that word, and post the photos side-by-side for your viewing pleasure. It’s a good exercise in getting out, taking pictures and telling a story. Enjoy!

Waiting

 

Patiently waiting for his afternoon walk, Indy gazes outside from his spot against the couch.

I know you are all eagerly anticipating my next adventure, but I thought I would take a small break and share with you a photo. I’d like to do this more often and hopefully will follow through. Enjoy.
